strange forums??

So how many other (clean family) strange forums are you aware of or are part of? http://www.candlepowerforums.com/ are for flashlight collectors.

No offense, but flashlights? Admitedly I was pretty excited about the 10million candle power light I got for Christmas. I've built a couple specialty LED lights, but an entire web site?

They have 2,300 members! This is the funniest thing I have ever seen! A forum about flashlights? One guy was doing a test (in the middle of a public park) to see which blub "threw" the best light.

To each his own..

You are kidding me right?

I have a question for our newest flashlight expert. I have a flashlight with the on/off switch in the end , and sometimes when i put it in the pocket of my coveralls , it will come on ,and shine on the bottom of the beak of my ballcap (this first time this happened it took me a solid 15 mins to figure out where the light was coming from) Is there any modifications/improvements i can make to solve this problem?

Welcome to our newest member, JDGnut

This quote was on the site where I found the link for the flashlight forum
There seems to be an awfully strange psychological connection between being a radio hobbyist and also being a flashoholic, a Republican, a gun fanatic, and a railfan.
Do they need to include "John Deere nut"??

Back in Texas the only way we can tell is if they have their hair cut like... Yours.

I love my Mag lights. They may not be the lightest, brightest, cutest... But they are cheap, tough, and work well with no bombs.

Not to mention that the 6D I keep behind the seat packs a pretty good wallop, should the occasion arise...
