Showing off your best light on a camping trip and someone else who is not even a Flashaholic pulls out a light brighter than yours.
This happened to me about five years ago but I was a little outgunned as he had a Streamlight Ultrastinger and I had a light that would fit in my pocket.
Going to an investigation and shining your light into a corner to see something moving there, did not get it by eye but got it on film and camera. Afraid my light died on me while taking some evp's in the attic, being alone and hearing stuff can make one nervous.
Either they're too expensive, vaporware/promiseware, are a hassle to get when you do find them, overseas, or the makers don't answer emails. (happened on CPF) What a pain in the ass.
I gotta go with an exploding lithium battery for pure, involuntary pucker-factor type fear. Also, not owning the other Solarforce lights that I want so badly is a living nightmare right now.
I agree with a non flashaholic out gunning the light in our possession. This has been my fear when climbing/hiking. Some guys are just too crazy bringing big lights on a hiking/climbing trip.
There's is a picture somewhere here of a large woman (you know the one). In my nightmare she is holding a large flashlight with "BLF sucks" engraved on it and want's to do something unpleasant with it towards me......
