When you have a different flashlight to sleep with every night of the week
1 Thank
When you abuse turbo so hard that the stock battery starts having sudden state of charge drops for no reason and then pops the vent cap on the top cell and you can hear exactly which cell did that before you in the same moment rip the tailcap off just in case the damn thing goes into thermal runaway

When
- you don’t know how many flashlights you have
- in tools shops you also check a shelf with flashlights
- you have a flashlight in different rooms, to don’t go in other room in case you’d need it
- you always have a flashlight being out of home (mb keychain) and think this as important
- in childhood you had a collection of flashlights
- situations with a need in a flashlight are perceived by you as funny, but not bothering
- you tend to gift flashlights, and mb even to buy assuming this as main possible purpose (most possibly you have on a shelf several flashlights of the same model)
- you choose flashlights with concrete CCT
- you know how many lumens your flashlights have
- most flashlights of which you have are used almost never
- to pay >25 usd for “advanced” flashlight you think as acceptable, meanwhile <5 usd models would allow the same for you
- you see a usefulness in flashlights with anduril “supercomputer” or in “jewelry” titanium/cuprum cases
- to wear a lithium granade in a pocket as EDC you think as a good idea
- you discuss flashaholism in internet

When you read a sentence that would be unintelligible to normal people and the fact that it isn’t normal doesn’t cross your mind until someone else calls it out.
“The D4K is the SC64 of the 21700 world.” ~some guy on reddit
And it makes perfect sense!

When you have a flashlight for any occasion that may arise, even though you never put yourself in such a situation/environment.
When you have a flashlight because it matches your knife/watch/shirt/hat that you are wearing in the day time on a sunny day.
When you have a wife that flat out, calls you a nerd…but she is then struggling with her phone flashlight to look for something.
When said wife in turn, now knows to click the switch 4 times to get out of lockout mode…who’s the nerd now??

You know that you’re a true grammarian when you point out that “an FlashAholic” is improper grammar.

Bad raccoon.
That’s the way The British say it.
An historic occasion, an barbecue grill, an flasholic, etc.
They stick 'u’s in weird places, too. Colour, honour, donour, motour, etc.
You get used to it.
That’s an new one to me. Even had to look it up to be sure.
That’s not how English works, not even in the U.K.

Man…Raccoon, I haven’t been around here long, but you seem to have a bit of a personality disorder.
Always the first to welcome a new member to this forum, very cool and inviting gesture..but also the most critical and aggressive person to reply to something you dont agree with. Sometimes, it’s best to keep things to yourself, no matter how much that can eat you up inside. I seriously mean that in the most unconfrontational way.
TkoK83Spy, I merely pointed out a fact.
If you were to follow the link that I provided, you would see that.
“That’s not how English works, not even in the U.K.” is not critical or aggressive.
I’m not being eaten up inside by anything.
I tend to be clear and concise, and frequently I am direct, but that’s not a personality disorder.
Meanwhile, out of every regular on BLF, you (and another person) are by far the most toxic, though not in this particular case (yet.)
You also give others unsolicited advice at an alarming rate, which is a real problem.
For example, you’ve offered me unsolicited advice at least half a dozen times, and no offense, but your unsolicited advice is never actually helpful.
I appreciate you wanting to help, but please stop offering me unsolicited advice.

When you have 3 or 4 flashlights on the small wooden table, next to your bed.
Only 3-4? I think I got 6 here…
I guess I must be an flasholic, then.
Haha, yep, it’s 4 right now. Plus one headlamp on my head. Plus around 10 behind me, on the shelf.
But how many do you have on the bed?
It varies for me. As Jean-Luc would say “there are four lights” on my table now. Plus the one under a pillow on the bed.
Ok here is a weird one. My left hand is less sensitive to heat from years of rewrapping 18650s and very occasionally using it for other hairdryer-heated stuff.
Found out when I sustained an ergonomic injury at work recently and tried to use my right hand that had an easier time cause the rewrapping could not wait 10+ hours for the pharmacy to open so I could get the pain meds lol. Needless to say I let out some serious screams when the heat from the hair dryer hit my right hand and that heat pain was worse than the abject hell of holding an 18650 in the left hand so I just painstakingly used the left hand instead and cried myself to sleep afterwards.
I’m kinda like that guy at my previous job who could hold oven food roasting level hot (exact temp is trade secret so cannot share but trust me you’d be horrified, I’ve touched less hot stuff and been terribly burnt before lol) 300mm silicon wafers taken out of broken fab tools we were fixing together, with no PPE except nitrile cleanroom gloves on top of half-finger thin cloth “glove liner” aka nothing to protect from the heat. Then he’d hold them for extended amounts of times so they’d cool down enough to not melt the plastic FOUP slots lol.
Speaking from Britain, no it isn’t.

'Allo 'allo, doucement, s’il vous plait!
When you see someone uses a phone as a flashlight you feel about them as lower people. As you have “normal” flashlight as edc.
