I'll be celebrating :)
Singalong….
Let’s turn the night into day, on flashlight day, flashlight day, flashlight daaaay! 
Didn’t even know such a day existed 
PLUS IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!
never heard of it though
wle
Since over here it’ll be the summer solstice, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a VERY dark and stormy day
It's my dad's B-day as well.
(May he rest in peace.)
I went out and ran around shineing my flashlights this morning to celebrate. Couldn’t see any other lights. Maybe too early ? Cops told me to stop and go to bed anyway .
Cops tell people to stop shining flashlights? wow, must’ve had enormous throw.
Playing with a catapult V6 and an ace beam T27. They didn’t tell me to stop , but they did ask what I was looking for .
Winter solstice coming this weekend.
Anything is possible in buckeye…
years ago i got busted for going 1 mile over the posted speed limit by a local county mounty because as he put it, he didn`t like any big trucks passing thru his county with too many chicken lights on them, the fact that I was out of state didn`t help . 
Thinking of solstice and lights I wonder how far this hobby is weighted towards us “Northerners”? Here at roughly the 45th parallel we are currently less than 10 hours of daylight. Friends in FL have 1-1/2 less hours of darkness to work with. How many people on this list are currently under 10 hours of light? Do we have members in the arctic circle and do they even “Play” with their lights?
My cat thinks it’s national flasher day, FWIW.
Not sure about how dark it is for you guys down north, but over here just shy of touching the Tropic of Capricorn, we’ve been having sunlight from 4AM to 7PM, now that Brazil suspended Daylight Savings Time for this year. As much as I want to try out my Lumintop B01 (purchased before the DST suspension announcement), it has been convenient for me to have plenty of light when waking up and heading to work now that I moved house and am living in unfamiliar territory.
Still, at least we have proper night here. It’s hard to imagine how people as close to the poles as, for example, Lithuania manage to sleep during summer when the sun barely hides below the horizon enough for the ambient light to reach dusk levels.
Obrigado, I was wondering if we had anyone from the southern hemisphere as all most all of the land mass is much closer to the equator than even I am. I too wonder how people much farther North deal with the extreme changes in light. I love the long summer days but winter is definitely flashlight season!
I will be celebrating this holiday in a big way at the meeting hall that I operate, but no one will notice anything different.
Winter solstice: How close is it to the middle of winter? Officially, the winter solstice is a few weeks or so away from the middle of winter, but in physical reality, meteorologically and astronomically, winter solstice occurs very close to the middle of winter. When I was in grade school, I asked all available adults why the beginning of winter is so close to the coldest day of the year, and why the beginning of summer is so close to the hottest day of the year. All I got was that "Why do I have to deal with kids that are more intelligent than me?" look.
I learned at a very early age that "Officially" can be widely disparate from scientific, physical reality.
Jeez, even the lengths of the seasons, measured in number of months, are different from what is officially recognized.
Astronomically, by measuring solar angle, and meteorologically, by placing daily average temperatures into four quadrilles, it can be seen that summer and winter are four months long, and spring and autumn are two months long.
I live in a universe where the arcsine of 45 degrees is not one-half. Instead, and this makes many people not get it, "it" being basic reality, the arcsine of 30 degrees is one half. Simple Harmonic Motion is not a linear function.
I thought the solstices were the longest daylight and shortest.
Yep, they are.
HAPPY NATIONAL FLASHLIGHT DAY 2019! 
Reality in terms of light but not season. Thermal lag. Sustained run time.
