Flashlight & Flashaholic Hats

Flashaholic is the flashlight hobby's own word for itself, and the -aholic ending is a joke suffix abstracted from alcoholic (Etymonline). On enthusiast forums such as BudgetLightForum and CandlePowerForums, a flashaholic is described as a person with impaired control over acquiring flashlights and a preoccupation with lumens, and collections are reported in the hundreds, with one poster citing 112 lights and another "no less than 300". The forum lists of signs you might be one include owning a different flashlight to sleep with every night of the week, buying one because it matches your hat, and looking down on anyone who uses a phone as a flashlight. These flashlight hats take that voice to the brim. FLASHLIGHT COLLECTOR and FLASHAHOLIC are the plain badges that carry the search terms. The sentence designs go after the bits: more lumens, a flashlight guy who gets excited when the power goes out, 4,000 lumens to walk the dog, the dad who held the flashlight once and now collects them, and the claim that the dark is afraid of his. A PHONE FLASHLIGHT IS NOT A FLASHLIGHT and I BUY FLASHLIGHTS TO MATCH MY HAT, both drawn from that forum humor, each earn a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat: joke text, not the lighted-brim kind that Milwaukee sells with a 1,100-lumen light built in. Choose one for your own shelf of lights, or give it to anyone who has ever been told to hold the flashlight.
