Flashlight Enthusiast
It has come to my attention, that there are some people... who thought flashlights were not important, or are not worth carrying. Let me ask you something... Do you enjoy seeing things with your eyes? Yes? Ok, if your power goes out, and you cant see anything, does it please you, not being able to see anything? How about a late night trip to walmart or asda for some shopping, and the power goes out and your plunged into complete darkness with no idea whos near you, or if the blackout was a natural power problem, or criminals with guns. You can be anywhere at any time, and the power can go off, it does not matter if you are in the street, at home, at a pub or at a family members house. What are you going to do when you and your family are plunged into sudden darkness? How about your older parents tripping and falling on their face, or the kids screaming because they are scared.. im sure this is not something you want. Im sure most people want to protect their family, so everyone is safe, yet people neglect something so simple as a flashlight. Let me tell you why its easy to stand in the light, so you and the people you care about are safe... There are many types, sizes, shapes, brightness levels, and costs of flashlights. Some flashlights are so cheap, that if you dont have one, you put your family at risk, for the sake of spending $20. Some flashlights are more expencive, have more quirky features. The point is, that You have the responsibility to make sure you and your family are not put at risk because of your reluctance to make an investment, in low cost flashlights. See, some think of flashlights as big cumbersome multi-D cell flashlights.. This is just completely false. You can have flashlights which cost about $20, stick them on your keychain, and never have to worry about what you will do when the time comes. There is a brand of flashlights that i really like, they are called "Fenix", and they have flashlights ranging from low cost, too higher cost, and in sizes that you can put them on a keychain, on a shelf, in your glove box, or in your pocket. For example, in a couple of weeks the Fenix E01 will come out, which takes a single aaa battery, and gives you enough light to be able to survive any black out you may be plunged into, and probably only cost around $20.. and the light you get will last for 20 hours... Also, there are slightly larger flashlights which take a single CR123 lithium battery, which cost around $50, which are so powerful, you can temporarily blind people, and they have different modes of brightness and safty features like SOS and strobe.. and you can stretch the light for about 30 hours on low, or an hour on blistering turbo mode. Do you not see why its important to have some kind of light with you? In my opinion anyone who does not even spend a few dollars on a cheap quality light, puts themselves and their family around them at possible risk. Its those people who regret having light, when they visit their mother at their home, and theres a power outage, and you let her go look for candles and she falls down and cracks her head on the door handle and breaks her hip.. you cant take it all back then.
There are 2 main companies that i think are really good for flashlights, for Europe, i think www.thephotonshop.co.uk is really great, and has helped me with all sorts of information helping me to make the right choice. For the americas www.fenix-store.com they are well known and are on forums helping people with problems.
You dont have to be left in the dark.. Go to these places and ask questions about flashlights, look at what they sell.. It does not cost you to go and look and ask questions. I dont have to tell you to go and buy a light, because im sure if you really sit and think about the whole idea, you can see how useful, and important a purpose it serves, to be able to have light where ever you are. If you can look at a range of good quality flashlights, and sniff at them and had decided to not buy one because you dont need one, then you cant complain when you hurt yourself, or someone near you gets injured because they cant see. Everyone should have light, its why we are active in the day time and less active at night, because our vision is limited in darkness. So instead of being restricted and at risk, go get yourself some information, and look into what light you want to get, and feel secure with your choice.. If you decide to get one, or not, then you have to live with your choice, or make a new choice now to do the right thing.
Please show this to anyone you know, who always laughs at people who have flashlights, and ask them if they care enough to do something right, or if they just dont care about what can happen.
I care enough to share this information with you, so YOU can make a choice you are happy with, while being informed.
Thanks

), or just if it's not real bright where we need to see something, then we are ready. Beyond that, we enjoy the technology, the craftsmanship, the WOW factor, the "oh cool" factor, or even the "this would be good to have" factor, etc, etc. And that's why I carry a light. :thumbsup:
:duh2: 
HAHAHA!
