Flashlight Enthusiast
Greetings All!
New member here and please let me introduce myself.
I am Kostas and I am a Flashaholic.
I have been a Flashaholic for many years now, but the past year my Internet access, my paypal account and my wallet that is properly loaded at times have brought me to the point that I should seek assistance on group therapy.
So for those past years I have seek relief on the following drugs.
- Various PR el-cheapo flashlights taken from my fathers store.
- A MiniMaglite
- A 4 D-cell Maglite
- A Fulton US military flashlight
- And a wonderfully arcane Croatian-made military flashlight with a cell!!!

Then I proceeded to more experimental drugs like the Diamond and Terralux Maglite Upgrades, the Palight and Pak-lite stuff, the Gerber Infinity Ultra, and of course a C2 and a KL-1/VitalGear FB-2 combo.
Advancing my search for the perfect drug I tried the Anglelux, the Police Xenon, and the Huntlight FT-02 convertible as well as some lesser stuff.
I tried the help of a good friend in the military to get off this flashlight affliction thing, but he turned out a flashaholic too, so now we are both sunk deep in our addiction sending our good money overseas every couple of months.
So guys please help me. Please support me in my effort to overcome my addiction. I promise I will never do flashlights again, if only you let me have one last fix.
( Palmblaze and HuntLight Ft-01XSE or Lumahunter M-1 Cree) LOL!
And here is my flashlight story!
"Flashaholic saves the Greek regional elections this autumn"
Well I got called to fulfill my duties as a civilian representative/secretary at the regional elections to a local voting station. This one, and some others, were house in a school building nearby. And it was a long day starting before sunrise and finishing what may (02:30 hours in my case).
So right about 23:00 we lose power in the building. I immediately pull out my KL-1 and tell the people on our station to stay calm and wait for me. I am running to my car to my flashlights while catching up with a rookie cop in the hallway totally amiss and ill-prepared.
I resisted the urge to scream "so what are you looking at? YOU should have a flashlight"
Imagine his astonishment when I returned carrying the DiamondLed Maglite, the Croatian weirdo and a Philips car lamp/flashlight/blink-light combo.
I gave the Maglite to the next station where a friend of my sister's and his father was on duty, and since another station somehow managed to get some church candles going, kept the rest a the flashlights for us.
It took more than an hour to find the electrician on duty and fix the problem but all the while we were up counting votes!!!
Well seriously now. The story is so silly it has become hilarious. But I did manage to gain an hours more sleep that night 'cos we were going nowhere till the job was done.
Anyway, stay well all, we'll be talking again. kostas
