Photos of workhorses and worn, dirty, or patinated lights

Here is my dinky little custom made by the indomitable CRX out of copper pipe and magic.

Just dragged it out of my jeans pocket.

The patina comes and goes, sometimes bright, sometimes dull, sometimes burnished sort of look.

I love it.

I also have an Astrolux A01 in copper and an Olight S-Mini in copper, both of which I let get dirty. I never polish my torches. That sounds a bit rude. Although I suppose if I said I am constantly polishing my torch it would sound ruder.

:laughing: I just glanced the picture & thought “that looks like one of mine”. Cool.

Gets plenty of use Stevi. I’ll be gutted when she dies.

C`mon, give me a break! Are you guys USING flashlights?

Not for hammers no :smiley:

;)

Don’t laugh too hard but I carried an incan streamlight for years that was great as a hammer and crap as a flashlight. :wink:

I’m new to flashlights, so none of mine have scuffs and bruises, but I like items that shared moments with me and one day I’ll be adding to this list. For now, I’m enjoying the pictures

Well that’s fair enuf :laughing:

My Gerber Firecracker: my first LED flashlight and trusty EDC workhorse.

That brass K18 is my MOST used light. In my vest in the summer and my hoodie in the winter.
Just ordered the upgraded version from HK.
I’ll see how I can mess up that bling.

CRX, no idea why it would be so but on the occasion I am forced out of bed early by pain and use my Gen 1 iPad to peruse the forum your posts, and yours alone, have an impossibly long blank space after your signature line. I mean 100 swipes or more to get down to the next post! Any ideas why this Apple device would show that (safari)?

emarkd, that “torched” ti torch came out genuinely unique! :slight_smile: Interesting…

Edit: CRX, it literally just took 289 swipes to get from the white space under yor sig to the next post! The page marker on the right of my screen indicates virtually an entire page taken up by blank space… the forum layout is there but the text field is empty… white blank space.

I really like the combo of watch and strap, could i ask the watch model number and strap name?

Really. I’ll have a look at my sig.
Anyone else seeing that?
289 swipes :laughing: (Well maybe not)

edit: Is it better now?

Well, that image in CRX’s sig is, at time of my posting this, ~9000 pixels wide. It is probably surfacing a bug in the very old (and insecure) version of Safari on a Gen 1 iPad.

My tools with taped Astrux s41.
My friends love the beam pattern of s41.

You win. Better buy the SS version on sale for $28.05 with coupon code. That aluminum one has about had it.

I think what you see is duct tape, not corroded aluminium :party: . But it sure looks worn like that!
