I'm new to flashlights because of my PROSTATE GLAND.

My wife got sick of me turning on the bathroom light every time I get up to go pee. So...I got a ROV penlight (led) and it works great. However, I made the mistake of researching flashlights on the net and ended up here.

Now I have an A2 (a YG and already gave it away...to my father who is a pilot...he LOVES it), and E1L, an M1, a raw NS, and a 6P (patriot version).

The 6P has become my favorite light.

...and thanks to you guys I have found my ultimate setup...

I bought the AW cells and the HO-9 after reading a post here. This setup was for spoting skunks in my backyard, but I have a new use for the HO-9.

I underdrive the HO-9 with 6 volts and use the FM35.

wow...I'm in love and my wife is totally happy!

(thanks to everyone here and all of this insane information!)
 
You're Welcome! :grin2:

But I see you've only been here since August.
Stick around, you ain't seen nothing yet!! :devil:
 
I just got the 72 count lithium pkg from SF...for my dad...

My father (a PHD civil engineer,author, and pilot) is in LOVE with the A2.

I have just done the insane act of ordering the M2.

YOU GUYS ARE 2 BLAME!

PS: LOVE & KISSES~!

i HATE ALL'Y'ALL

What, may I ask, is insane about that? It is perfectly normal around here, lol. NOT ordering it would have been insane, although maybe you should have ordered the M3. Or preferably both.

Welcome to CPF!

I wasn't sure what to expect when reading the title of this post. :green: I feel better now that I have read your story. Thanks for sharing. :twothumbs

The question is, will your wife continue to be totally happy when the credit card bills start rolling in?!?:grin2:

lol just don't charge it to her tab:)


Sleeplessness and my enjoyment for lights is not a byproduct of my prostate gland....it is, however due to my pineal gland being overly stimulated by beamshots that I have sleepless nights:ohgeez:

the A2s LEDs are very easy on the eyes [whether is getting out of bed, going for a stroll in the house, stealth recon to the frige, or even covert operations involving you to climb trees in the dead of the night to retrieve your meowing outdoor cat] even when they are completely dilated.

the xenon's....thankfully, standing by when you realized you missed the bowl a bit and had to do some cleaning before you turn in. [I'm heavily nearsighted and when I have to go I have to go...glasses or no glasses.]

That's why you look for a site that takes moneyorders.... from your non-joint account. :devil:
 
Welcome :)

I'll do you a deal, i'll take the heat for your m2 if you'll take the heat for my want to get a e2e even though i've already got a L4 and e2d :)


BTW Pardon my ignorance, where are you guys finding all the different smileys? At one stage they were part of the standard posting screen, but I haven't been able to find them in a long time. Thanks in advance :)

See the word [More] at the very bottom of the smileys on the right-hand side?

Click on that, a small window will open. Enlarge the window.... and there you go! :)
 
Thanks for the feedback...and yes...the credit card bill just came in! (flashfan, you hit the bullseye).

I'm lucky enough to be able to pay the tab ($1000.00 in 1 month)...but my credit card has been revoked...until I can prove to my wife that I have overcome this illness. (I'm now on an "allowance").

We had a drag-out fight and I can't really justify the money for her "happiness".

light_emmiting_dude ... don't even think that way ... you are SICK!! LOL!!

I pretty much have to leave this forum because I'm in full-blown flashaholism...and my wife has put the foot down. My foot has always won in the past, but this time she has out-argued me. (help me on this one...any ideas to show her wrong?)

\~~~~~

anyhow...I dropped my raw NS...and I thought that nickel-silver was supposed to be durable...I'll post a picture of the damage to the bezel, but the thing still works perfectly. IT IS NOT JEWELERY! LOL!

YOU GUYS ARE BEAUTIFULLY INSANE...BUT I NEED TO LEAVE.

I have yet to read it, but my father said that he researched the A2 here at CPF and said that there is a thread titled "It's a disease, a horrible disease!" and I better go right now and check it out.

Flashaholism is uncurable. :( I'm sorry to say, Solarman, but once you're on the "flashlight allowance", there's not going back. Maybe buying your wife a light might ease her pain - I'm sure she's just jealous your lights are bigger than hers?

Here's another idea: Wait until dinner time, and excuse yourself from the table (hey, you gotta pee, right?). Sneak to where the main power switch to your home is, and flick it off. Then sneak back into the dining room and produce a light. You can then proclaim you're going to investigate the "mysterious" blackout and take your merry'ol time making noise in the back room. The longer the "black out", the better the effect... I hope.

Otherwise, it was nice meeting you. :nana:
 
Hi greenLED,,,

Your posts are some of the most wonderful on this forum...but with 12,000+ posts aren't you ready to join me?

I can't seem to get my SD card to read properly on my computer, so I'm not going to post the pics of my raw NS. Suffice it to say that about a 30 degree circ has been flattened into the crystal (which did not break) and that it looks totally weird. Even after the accident, the light is totally awesome and yes...my best light. I put some glasene with red food coloring onto the crystal (It dried on perfectly) and now I have THE ULTIMATE PEE LIGHT!

SORRY TO LEAVE BEFORE I GOT TO KNOW Y~ALL BETTER...

lots of love,

SolarMan

:wave:
