It's completely normal. In fact last I refused to turn on any of the indoor lights so I could try out my new Fenix flashlight.
I started carrying at least 2 lights with me at all times after the first World trade center bombing, and read stories of people walking down black stairwells using Timex Indiglo watches. Since then I have carried at least a Photon, and a 2AAA Minimag (now replaced with a River Rock 2 AA) and sometimes more. Power failires, the big blackout of 2003 and others have long since shown me how right I was, even in daylight. Heck, even to crawl under a desk to work on a computer a small White LED light (shows colors of wires better) is priceless.
so nice for all of you. when ppl laugh, i just add them into my light ban list.
well, i do have uses for lights, im a tech job person. even if your work is not light related, it will come handy somehow. the grid dont cover the whole world, my friend.
i hv always always meet ppl in need of lights, but never bother to have one. still they are laughing at torcholics. thats also why i hide my lights in blackout until i myself need it (just for the fun of hear ppl asking for lights).
if i can see a super bright maglite in Gaza war zone (in CNN) i dont know why we shld not own a handy tool. :buddies: so, no it is not weird. just a paranoia.:bump:

You are only sick if you have names for your lights.....oh wait....scratch that.... thats normal too... 
I almost always have 3 EDCs, solitare with 3x 33kmcds Li-ION, MM with a SMJLED and Li-ION, and a dorcy single AA with a TX1L NX05 DD at 950mA.
In my laptop case I carry my 2D mag (Multi wavelength optical tool) 4x LUX III's R/O, white, green, and royal blue. THIS tool came in REAL handy 2 weeks ago. I was cleaning out a LASER resonator, and was working on getting out all the dust. I found that the Royal Blue worked GREAT for illuminating foreign particles.
Like I tell my buddies, just like every tool has a specific purpose. So do flashlights. I mean, I wouldent use my LUX III DD to try and read some fine print 3" inside a dark cabinet :huh:
Think of it this way... DEFINE NORMAL!!!

I have been EDCing lights for as long as I can remember, started with mini-mags in a belt holster way back when they first came out. Now I EDC a Surefire U2 and E2e. U2 usually in a belt scabbard, E2 in left front pocket. If a dress occasion, U2 in left front pocket only. Always have 2 knives on me, one standard(Benchmade Neil Blackwood) and one serrated(Spyderco Delica). Never leave home without a pistol and at least one spare magazine for it. When I dress in the morning, all the EDC stuff goes on. When I undress at night, it comes off.
The other day I showed my U2 to my leadman. When I told him how much it costed, he rolled his eyes and did everything in his power to get it back in my hands ASAP! Did admit it was one heck of a bright light for an LED. He did not know that LEDs could be so bright.
I do not worry about what anyone thinks. My wife now asks me to borrow a light frequently. We have woods outside our back door. Last night she says, "quick, give me one of them bright lights, theres some wild dogs out back". I give her a M2 with P91, and I take out the U2. Were flashing them all through the woods. I was amazed to see the U2 was actually overpowering the M2/P91 combo. I have heard about the variability of U2s beams. Mine must be an exception, it is bright white and tightly focused. Cut through the woods like a laser beam. Both lights had new batteries, SFs. Level four on the U2 equals the E2e with new batts. GREAT LIGHT!!!
