OR.........when you don't NEED blackout blinds to play with your lights midday.

When you're out walking at night with friends and you curse the street lighting for denying you the opportunity of showing off your gear.

You are disappointed that your new apartment hasn't lost power so far and your old one lost power once every few months or so.

I honestly thought I met another flashaholic, until I noticed he was not looking for a specific emitter, but one that still used an incandescent lamp.

He may have just been at a more advanced stage of flashaholism.

When the UPS guy drives by and waves w/o delivering because he see's my wife's car in the driveway....and knows I'd rather he waited.

And knows that I know what neighbor he will accidentally deliver to instead.

Your wife sees a paypal transaction in the bank statement and asks why you needed another flashlight.

Ouch! That one hit home.
You know you're a flashaholic when you have used a flashlight to find a better flashlight.

Honestly, I thought he was a tint snob in training. If someone showed him Neutral white LEDs, maybe he'll be sold.

Directing such a person to a good online source of Surefires and CR123s might be best. Even if there are LEDs that might do, it would be hard to go wrong with a G2 or 6P with a plain old P60, if somebody wants to stick to incans, and is used to what they could find at a hardware stores.

Enlightened meets Flashaholic
When walking down a path at night, someone yells G** D*** cant see a d** thing , you shining that light in my face (and other mumbling I didnt hear).
And I was trying my best as soon as I saw them, to keep it from hitting them, they were more than 100 feet away, and it was on low . And they were also packing a LED headlight. whaaaaat, geez lighten up, we oughta be comparing notes, not clashing over a short night blindness problem.

10 in your living room,
10 in your son's bedroom,
10 in your daughter's room,
10 in your garage,
10 in the dining hall,
10 in your study room,
10 in your own room,
10 in your kitchen,
10 in your work office
and yet you're still visiting those online stores.

Well, yeah, you're missing 10 on your belt, 10 in the bathroom, 10 in your car, 10 on your bicycle, 10 on your work bench and 10 in your toolbox!

You know you're a flashaholic if all this doesn't seem extreme...

 

[foreman]

You're packing for a two week vacation, and it takes longer to decide which lights to bring then it does for everything else you'll need.

 

[jamesmtl514]

you go out with friends, they ask to see the light you have in your pocket. Then they ask for the other one... and then the other one because they know you haven't pulled out your EDC yet.... Happened this evening.

Malkoff MD2 V4 WC, Surefire Proto Ti L4, McGizmo BB 119 Mule.

When even my six year old said my FourSeven's .2 lumen "moonlight" mode was too bright.

my last two lights purchased.. L10s included a Nichia 219 and a XPG2 (because I did not have any lights with those emitters) and the 219 has a .09 lumen "firefly" mode.

Your flashlight dies but you have one around every corner to cover the one before that one.

Hey Gene, what's the odds of an XM-L on copper heat sink (DRIVEN HARD) in a three inch reflector on an MD4 body?
