Flashaholic
1. I keep every single extra LiIon I own at only ~50% charge, in the fridge.
2. I only dispose of rechargeable cells after their capacity has deteriorated to below ~25% or so.
3. Not only do I track all of my flashlight expenditures in Excel (sorted by year), but I maintain 'cost basis' numbers for all my flashlight setups.
4. I hate paying shipping fees so much that I would rather drive to Oveready and pay cash.
5. If my flashlight expenditures go above $350 in any one year, I either sell something or wait until the next year before making additional purchases.
6. I always own more hosts than dropins.
7. The most expensive light I own, I use the least.
8. I have a stash of 4 SureFire P30 incan dropins (useful for 2xAA _or_ 1xCR123) that I'm saving for the apocalypse.
Your flashlight confessions?
