I am not a flashaholic

But I got a few flashlights.

It started when I was in the attic and my old flashlight died, I used a few minutes to locate the door and get out. Then I decided that I needed a better flashlight.
Searching the internet I found some interesting pages and forums on flashlights and decided to buy a Fenix P3D-Q5, even though it was rather expensive and the batteries was a bit special.
When it arrived I was very happy with it, but with this kind of flashlight and batteries that can last 10 years, why not place some flashlights at strategic points around my appartment and I some of me most used bags? I got some more Fenix lights (P1D/P2D(/L1D)).
I also wanted a small light (mostly out of curiosity) and with the bike light holder I want to try a flashlight on my bicycle, that got me a L0D and a L2D (The bike light needed to use rechargeables).

After this I belive I got all the lights I needed, but cpf made me curious about some other lights.



But I am not a flashaholic, I am only curious!

Nice start......

Look at this picture a year from now and compare to what you will have a year from now, you'll have a good laugh.

And right there... you're a flashaholic.
"why not place some flashlights at strategic points around my appartment and I some of me most used bags" is like saying. "I don't do coke, I just like the way it smells".
Welcome aboard.

I'm glad your not a flashaholic yet!

HKJ what is the light next to the red Mag on the left side.

Nice start to your new Hobie thanks for sharing.

That must be the Nitecore Defender Infinity.

An AA light with "infinite" light levels.

Thanks man.
take care.

Me neither. I am sitting at my desk with a little eddie bauer key chain light on my key ring, a new tiablo MA1 in my back pocket, a surefire G2Led in my breifcase, and a P6 Clone in my Gym bag.......

damn, I may need to seek professional help......but that will cost money....money that I'll need to build my ROP !!!

Hey I'm not a flashaholic either lol!

Denial is the first sign...

You may think you have all the lights you need "now" but as technology moves forward, the lights get brighter, smaller, and more improved via features and user interface.

I think I'm a flashaholic but friend, your collection is nicer than mine! Embrace the lumens, and let your light shine!

PS you can always justify your purchases as these are TOOLS which do provide utility (i.e. seeing things at night) beyond the "OOOH/AHHH" factor. :twothumbs

that is a denial

Denial? :thinking: I am just a bit curious!

Ok, I might have been spending to much time on cpf, and paid the price for that.

The worst part is that I am still looking for interesting flashlights .

are you sure you are not a flashaholic?

WELCOME ON CPF

Welcome to CPF. The key to getting help is admitting your holic.

What a familiar tale. It started me thinking that there just had to be a "You know you are a flashaholic when..." thread. And there is at least one:
