You might be a flashaholic when you realized that you just saw a DIFFERENT thread recently called You Know You Are A Flashaholic When ...



(And, also when you know the forum URL numbers by heart, i.e. 4 = general forums, 45 = LED, 46 = Incan, etc)

When you actually do a search on this and similar thread titles and find that there are least three if not four threads and you have commented at least once in each thread.

When you lose a bet that you have 13 lights on you, because you actually have 15...

True Story...

[Mr Bigglow]

You read this to find out if you have any of the common symptoms, and if so you count how many....

[Benson]

You can piece together 2 complete stock Maglites from extra parts laying around.

But you don't bother, because why would anyone want a stock Mag.

[mrartillery]

theres a similiar thread to this is the cafe i just got done reading, there's some pretty funny ones on there!

[Tractor man]

You don't bother to use the headlights on your truck at night, cos your flashlights are brighter

[funkymonkey1111]

. . .when your neighbors call the police because they figure there must be a burglar in your house.

my g/f said this was just a matter of time for us with the amount of "testing" i do....

...when you have one flashlight who's only purpose is to light up the inside of your safe, where you keep...more flashlights.

When you go on a night hike and carry a flashlight only used to see while changing the batteries in your primary light as well as another flashlight who's only uses are to hold the spare batteries of your primary light and finish off the dead batteries from the primary light.

You Know You Are A Flashaholic When ...

You read a thread about a Lego key chain light and have to run to REI and get one.
These l'il propane tank heads crack me up.

[kramer5150]

You read every post in this thread... and then post a reply of your own.

[AMD64Blondie]

The first thing you do after charging the Eneloop AAs in your Fenix TK40 is...
Turn it on (on turbo strobe,no less..) and point it at a mirror.
(Then you wonder what light to use to find the nearest set of welding goggles..Ow,my eyes!!)

[737mech]

You might be a flashaholic when you read the other two threads exactly like this and decided to start another one anyway.

[the_guy_with_no_name]

your flashlights use more electricity than your entire house

[the_guy_with_no_name]

you buy a new car, just so you can rip out the headlights for your latest mod/project and sell the rest of the car as used parts.

[the_guy_with_no_name]

you repaint your living room to improve the quality of your wall/beam shots.

At least you won't look nearly as goofy using that flashlight as you would if you bought the headlight version:http://www.rei.com/product/796685
What were they thinking when they made that thing? Is the gag gift market large enough to warrant making this product? The only way to make it more embarrassing for the headlight user is if you take off or cover up the last three letters in LEGO.

You're at the endodontist's having a root canal retreated, and the doctor can't get enough illumination into the open canal of the tooth, so you turn on your modded ARC AAA, set it to the brightest level, hand it to the assistant who then points it in your mouth, prompting the doctor to say, "that's much bettter."

(That really happened last year)

[TSWrench]

You think your flashlight story is so interesting that you immediately submit a duplicate post.

(That just happened)

[jhc37013]

Nice!!!


When your girlfriend says "Just turn the friggin' lights on!"

And your 3 year old child begs you to

PS: Just tell your wife/girlfriend that the electrical contact or wiring in the rooms light fixture is messed up and you may need a electrician to look at it, tell her to stay away from the switch it could be dangerous. This has worked for me for a little while but I'm not sure how much longer I can milk it.

You might be a flashaholic if...

- You manage to drain all of your primary batteries during daytime, or inside your well-lit apartment... ON PURPOSE!

- You totally missed a date with a hot girl, because you stayed home reading Candle Power Forums latest Flashlight Reviews.

- You got fired because your boss caught you looking at Flashlight Porn during work.

- The ammount of stuff you store in your flashlight spare part box, far exceed the quantity of toys and games that your 4 kids have in their rooms... Combined!

[ubetit]

You sell some lights in the marketplace and make $1000.

If you ever wander around with your friends and make it to a dark area, they all look at you. "No, my night vision's quite good enough, thanks."

"Why DON'T I have a head-size spotlight in my school bag" seemed like a good answer at the time. Others agreed when you set treelines ablaze with light at a half mile.

When you don't use your house lights anymore and wear a headlight all night.

1) You're in an accident. The paramedics show up and start working on you. Everything goes dark. You find yourself floating naked staring down at your body. The paramedics say "His heart's stopped," and keep working on your body. You start to float away, but you say, "My lights!" and reach down and grab 3 of your EDC lights from your body.

You find yourself floating down a long smoky tunnel. You hear voices and see shapes at the end. There's a light shining from the other end and you're drifting towards it. You look at the light and say, "That's pathetic. What is that, an old Luxeon?" You turn on the dimmest of your EDC lights and point it down the tunnel.

You stop floating towards the light. You hear the voices say, "Wow, that's the most beautiful light I've ever seen." You see your dead ancestors floating toward you oohing and aahing and staring spellbound into your light.

You hear a voice from the end of the tunnel telling your ancestors, "Don't go into the light."

You find yourself drifting back down the tunnel and wake up looking at the paramedics. You quickly check to see that your flashlights are OK. The paramedic says, "Man that was amazing! Nothing was working at all, and all of a sudden, your heart started beating and you woke up."

You take a close look at the paramedic, and ask, "Say, is that the new Polarion? Can I see it?"

2) You tell one of your friends this story and they say, "Pictures or it didn't happen."

[Burgess]

You sell some lights in the marketplace and make $1000.

And then Promptly spend that (and MORE) on additional flashlights.
