Long story short a few years ago I got my dad a lumapower lm31 for Christmas. He loved it!
He gave all the usual about paying too much for lights and that he probably wouldn't use it as much as he wanted to.
But being winter time with shorter days etc he soon adapted, very quickly in fact!
Being brutally honest he can be a bit of an idiot at times and usually I get bored of him pestering me but this time it was for AA's haha soon he began buying packs and packs if battery's kind of like myself.
4 years on, scratched lense, worn boot and getting quite smooth he still uses it all the time, 2 modes with high at 80 lumens serves him fine with the runtime he gets.
Then just now I realised something,he's more of a flashlight user than me:0 he uses it every day! I'm a true flashaholic and I struggle to find uses for my lights
I believe that true flashaholics are born with a natural instinct where light is concerned, but at the age of 40 (Now 44) he had never purchased a light before and now uses one every day!
Has anyone else ever converted someone who they didn't think would ever take to EDC'ing a light but then they became avid users?
