Flashaholics hit the news!

"With realistic everyday dangers, from possible acts of terrorism and power outages to hurricanes and tornados, carrying the proper-quality flashlight just might make all the difference!"

I notice he uses the term "flashaholics". I wasn't here when the designation started, but was David the one to coin the term? Does anyone know. As far as I know it's a CPF exclusive.

It looks like Bruce Mandelblit, the author of the column, is either a CPF member or lurker, since he mentions the term "flashaholic" and recognizes the ARC-AAA as a favorite here.

Cool! Thanks for the link, Photonboy.

news.google.com gives 1 hit for flashaholics, and www.google.com gives 35 hits. Google asks: "Did you mean: fishaholics"

I've never met a fishaholic and I don't think I want to either!!

Good stuff... except there was a mention of a certain 2AA sized light there too... wonder where he got that info from. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif But all in all, what matters is that most of our favourite lights here got mentioned, esp the Arc AAA! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Somehow I think he is a CPF member, or lurker as one other here mentioned. Interesting dichotomy: he mentions the 2AA minimag and the Arc AAA.

Fishaholics: I don't even want to know!
