Title basically says it all...have you ever wished you hadn't introduced someone to the wonderful world of flashlights?


(I hope I don't get banned for asking such a treasonous question!!) :duck::banned: :tsk:

I haven't turned anyone into a flashaholic yet. Mainly because I keep a low profile. They already think I'm nuts with the amount I spend on knives.

i loaned my Fenix T1 (indefinete loan :eek:) to my buddy whos in Singapore's civil defense. Basically, fire fighter, but also has attachments with Ambulance units and stuff. Next day he calls me:

"did you say you have a 700lumen maglite? wow, i cant even imagine what that must look like"

on the way much? :naughty:

and it all started with a humble "anglehead" light mod i made for him

Yes, I've regretted it, but only because my friend's wife beats me up(playfully) for getting him hooked on spending that much money on "only" flashlights.

:buddies:

I managed to turn my friend into a Mac fiend, but no flashaholic conversions yet.

Although I do have 2 3D mags from Costco waiting for the 2 aspheric kits from KD on their way for some family members.

The reason I ask is that I have a friend who I introduced to the world of lights, and now every time I see him it seems he only wants to talk about flashlights. I like to talk lights as much as the next guy but I can only take so much "hey guess what I saw on the web...hey DX has an ultrafire with 32 P7s...hey this one guy built a light that supposed to be the brightest in the world..." I don't need to talk about lights every time I see him!
:dedhorse:

I have other interests too, ya know...:sigh: :sigh: :sigh:

thats how it is for me. but im the friend. the guy that turned me flashy doesnt have as many lights because he keeps buying clothes from Tad Gear. (I cant afford Tad Gear, but i do frequent LA Policegear)
