Does this cross the line into crazyland, or do I get there by buying a SF10x?

I was a gumball machine junkie before all this ever started, and have found something truely evil in my local Weis Supermarket. A gumball that has little tiny flashlights! There are 3 styles: classic torch shape, lantern, and one that looks like a dirt devil. I only need a lantern now...

I like the way the torch is so small, it fits nice on my HT. And for 50c, they're brighter than they look.

"Nope - you cross over into crazyland when you modify those gumball lights to be BRIGHTER - like run off hearing aid batteries and drop an LED into it."

Ha, my bro's girlfriend is currently at a souvenier tradeshow/convention, and I asked her to grab me as many keylights and led toys as she could find. Anything that glows, shines,flashes, grab a handful for me!
So if I get a subtancial lot, I'll be posting another thread asking what I could possibly do with all them things. Keeping in mind of coarse that I'm a simpleton and don't own a soldering iron yet after moving out.

Hey forum members, after trolling the last few weeks and reading heavily through the ledmuseum and flashlightreviews sites, I decided to become bonafide, so I can interact with everyone.
The same friend who awakened the ham in my blood and turned me on to shortwave has turned me into a flashlight hound now. I don't know whether to hug him or hit him!
I started my collection with a chinese-ebay 19LED flashlight and 7LED headlamp this camping season, then got some Sea-Pals,a form of the PAL Light from SeacurityProducts.
Next was the SP-3 from Iqlights (formerly Seacurity), and last weekend we went to Bass Pro and I took my quantum leap and got a Surefire Centurian 3 and a P91 bulb. Got the River Rock 2AA yesterday, and so help me there's no end in sight....
