Good bump.

When you walk around the house with a headlamp on moonlight level and you swear because you open the refrigerator and the interior light makes you lose your night vision..

Good bump!!

 

[raggie33]

when you do tricks for flashlights!!!! magic tricks

 

[Jean-Luc Descarte]

When you catch yourself being more jealous of your flashlight than of your car.

 

[Megalamuffin]

When you have 5 flashlights and a headlamp in your vehicle, plus batteries.

 

[bykfixer]

When you are in a meeting and wow the room when explaining why a proposed street light does not have enough candela. One guys says "but it's 27,000 lumens"....
The boss rolls eyes and says "he's a flashlight junkie, don't bother arguing" lol

When you buy flashlights for nostalgia.

Let's go back a ways.... 2004 ish... when you're posting from Saudi Arabia while being a glorified security guard... I mean force protection.

Or someone who I haven't seen here in a while... while he was a civilian contract employee in Scania in Iraq. He also set up a small radio station for them.

When you can't stand the new street lights in your town because they are an angry blue tint. Why did they install those?!

 

[knucklegary]

When you're buying, bags of, back-up o-rings for every flashlight you own, because you never know when you'll need a spare

You are trying to find an excuse to upgrade your perfectly functioning nightstand light after browsing the classifieds here.

Guilty.

 

[Jean-Luc Descarte]

When you see the price of something and unironically think how many torches you could buy for that amount of money.

When you buy a 704 lumen flashlight and add an ultra clear glass lens hoping to get 706 instead. 👍

Edit

704 lumens

706 lumens.
Yup definitely worth the extra $10.

706 lumens.

This picture really made me think of the Mr. Bean opening theme

Really worth the $10. Which light is it?

Really worth the $10. Which light is it?

A 3c Maglite that states 705 lumens. I added a glass lens to the cart during their Labor Day sale. Worth it to me if for no other reason the superior scratch resistance versus the stock lens.

Truthfully it's the same picture twice with the glass lens installed. But I'm guessing flashaholics were looking for those 2 lumens in the second photo.

When to find out if you have a flashlight or not, look in your e-mail first than look for it in the containers.

(I'm trying to figure out if I've ever bought a Zebralight H52w and a SC52w and I'm looking in the 2014 mail)

When you buy 3 off a board member that includes 1 you already own; just because you have a bit of cash to try something new & you want to see if the same light from different sources really have the same performance
