THE FLASHAHOLIC DEFINED:
"Someone who appreciates and actively seeks information about portable lights because of an ongoing fascination with them and their development, and whose interest often results in the purchase and/or modification of these lights, very often to the point of distraction, social alienation, drunkenness, divorce, arrest, impoverishment, and general disintegration."

Some people want me to capture priceless moments of their growing babies, while others want to have images captured of their timeless love for one another. Well, in this case, some people just want pictures done of their flashlights.
I use the term flashlight lightly (no pun intended), because this is no ordinary flashlight (flashlights are just child's play). No, this is a Surefire... a real mans flashlight. I cannot begin to explain the art of the Surefire, because this is something I don't fully understand myself and quite frankly, never will.
Flashaholism is not to be taken "light"ly (pun intended this time). You never know who might suffer from it; could be your next door neighbor, could be your husband... could even be you. One of the sure signs of being a flashaholic is the desire to conceal multiple flashlights and the uncontrolable desire to modify flashlights. In fact, there is actually a forum dedicated to flashaholics (you learn something new every day).
So I dedicate this post to all the flashaholics out there... or at least to the only one I know.
In all seriousness, these are pretty awesome flashlights that made for some sweet pics.
