Default Looking to purchase a flashlight? Here's an awesome resource!

Hello everyone,

I stumbled recently on a great community of very helpful people. The subject? Flashlights =)

At first thought, it does seem a little weird, since it's not like you can use more than one flashlight at a time... but then again, how many headphones can you wear at a time?

In any case, I was trying to pick out a flashlight for my family back home as a gift of some sorts (during typhoon season, the storms get real heavy resulting in power loss -- now that I'm away and can't take care of them, I feel safer knowing that they're properly equipped). These people replied on the minute without signs of tiring from my rather rookie-like questions, so without further ado, here it is!

Footnote: Just to ensure that there aren't any problems later on (and because I was shocked to see accusations of a similar sort fly about in an old thread lying about) I will be very clear about this: I do not own or operate the site, I have a post count of 7 there and do not plan to add on to that number, nor am I trying to promote traffic to their website. I do not plan on bumping this thread up -- this is simply a passing on of what I felt was a great resource that may prove to be of some aid to physically active Head-Fi members.

Ok, so now I know what all of my friends are thinking when I start talking about headphones... OMG, this world is big enough to play host to flashlight nuts?

If you can dream it, there's likely a forum dedicated to it somewhere on the internet. And the correct term is "flash-a-holics". Don't ask me how I know.
