Well as with any other hobby it all depends on how serious you want to get. I haven't really kept track of how much I've spent. I'm gonna go ahead and try to do a quick countceiling fly said:
*fires up calc.exe*
*gets a bit scared and don't want to continue counting*
*remembers that it has been spread out over more than two years*
*relaxes a bit*
*puts flamesuit on*
I'd guestimate that I've spent $800-$900 but it's probably more counting batteries and other accessories.
*suddenly remembers the three green lasers he has bought (out of which he broke one)*
But that's really nothing when you compare it to what normal people spend on smokes, drinks, beer and things of that nature. And compared to what some of the real hardcore flashaholics (that's what we call ourselves lolol) spend I have a loooong way to go. Some of these guys will gladly pay 300-400 bucks up front on a light that hasn't even left the drawing board yet. They're nuts.
Until A minute ago I had been reading the title as fleshlight and had not even opened the thread. lol.

Seems most intarwebnet people do that. And as of a while ago it actually says "fleshlight" so it's ok heheb_sinning said:
How did you get into flashlights? I'de love to make something bright like that and wire it to motion sensors.

I was at frys electronics the other day, and noticed they had 2 entire aisles dedicated to flashlights and flashlight technology. First thing I thought was "I bet that swedish fgt would spoo right in his pants if he saw this"
lol @ drool...I love building stuff like this but never seem to have the free time and the knowledge now days.
The dashlights behind the instraments in my backup car, 82 diesel mercedes are burnt/shorted out and are a bitch to replace. I stumbled across a website where a guy had just wired some ultrabright leds into the front of the dash that spotlighted the instraments and looked pretty cool. The guy that did the project also said it's such a bitch to replace or fix the backlight is why he did it.

To be completely honest I'm not really sure. I never had many flashlights or any real interest in them as a kid. It pretty much started 2-3 years ago when I laid eyes on the legendary Arc-AAA and Arc4+b_sinning said:

It all went down hill from there. I never actually got an Arc4+ back then I thought the price for one was redicolous. Had it been today it would've been a very different story
Nah, I bet they were too plain for my tasteDrool-Boy said:I was at frys electronics the other day, and noticed they had 2 entire aisles dedicated to flashlights and flashlight technology. First thing I thought was "I bet that swedish fgt would spoo right in his pants if he saw this"

Some people collecting beanie babies. I think flashlights are a far more illuminating hobby.

I need to hang out at a website where people don't know me.
