Hello, everyone. TeacherRO, I know you're surprised to find yourself here amongst all your friends. The first thing I want you to know is that we're gathered here because we care so much about you. The second thing is that your flashlight collection has really changed you and affected each and everyone whom you love and who loves you. Yes, this is an intervention.

Now we're going to go around the living room counterclockwise, starting with bacpacjac, and let you know how your flashlight addiction has impacted our lives...

Jacquie?

I must have enough too. At least I quit buying more for now. I am not even a flashaholic though, I just get what I need and then upgrade from time to time.

I like my one flashlight, a scuffed-up 2D MAG-LITE that survived my little accident. I’m not trading it, not even for a new MAG-LITE.

I have considered getting a second flashlight, a 3D MAG-LITE.

ROTF!! Hi, my name is Jacqui and I am a gear addict. I like to have lots of light and have just begun to see the beauty of flashlights and headlamps that cost more than $15. I'm trying not to get addicted to those too. good thing I really feel like I have enough. Except in the house. Don't have one in each room yet. Yup. We need more lights for the house.

You need to keep that light forever, Jeanette. You and it have an important history together. :-)

I used to buy mag lites.Then they would mutate,grow legs and run away. Nobody seems to know these little lights are valuable.

JI....in the world of high tech lights, I too use a 2D MagLight LED...the LED is a tremendous upgrade from the incandescent Xenon bulb... I have a couple of SureFires, one with Malkof and a couple with Solar Force upgrades, a Fenix or two, and a couple of weapons lights, but my go to is a good old 2D...a lessons learned from the first of the storms in the 04 Florida Hurricane invasion... a mount head cable tie and a split ring... keeps the light from rolling off the table, and I use a plastic snap for holding my key ring, it clips on your side, so you remember where you left it...this was pre involvement with you guys....but still works
