I’ve been having fun with my Lumintops. My university’s on quarantine, but due to some meddling I don’t quite understand yet, the library I work at is open on a “burglar bar” regimen (customer stays at the door, we fetch the books they want to borrow). That being such, there’s no reason to leave the lights on in the archives. So when it’s my turn to fetch the books, I take my time using only my Tool AA 2.0 or EDC01 as my only light sources.
All about the small pleasures in life 
I like this. Well done.
Stay safe.
Water cooled FW21?
When I am working if there is water I chuck the light in to cool it down.

Wow, I say that is COOL … :sunglasses:
.
And it works ! :+1:
.
Be careful. Don’t do this at home, boys and girls.
No, just kidding. The FWxx lights only have rather small air pockets.
When air gets hot, it will try to expand and to escape from the light.
When you cool that light down, it tries to suck that air (or water) back in.
Like every evening/night since i finished building it i have used my OL 2019 challenge project for bed reading and zombie walk to the toilets.
I like powerfull flashlights for the wow effect as much as everyone here does but while i live in a city with a lot (well, too much) of ligth everywhere, most of the time i don't have a real use for them.
In fact my next project will be an other low power torch but with an adjustable output so i can set an an even lower ouptut if i want to.
I was soo thankful I EDC a flashlight. Working second shift, I get home in the dark. Tonight the light from my torch saved me from stepping on a palm sized baby bunny.
School. Demonstrated sunlight on earth through the year. Took the Wuben E05-I with 2700K Samsung LED for its equal spot and the nice yellow light. Physics class.
Convoy S2+ w/ SST20 + TIR45 -> Was walking along a footway next to a small forest. Heard dogs barking. Shone the S2+ (4*7135) at them at max brightness. Saw one or two pairs of reflected eyes back. They ran away 
FW3A
used 1000+ lumen max mode to look under bush in day time for lost kid toy

Used an S2+ Nichia to find an S2+ SST20 that I’d lost in my apartment. Turns out it was where all my lost tube lights end up: stuck between my bed and the wall, hidden by the bed covers.
I set my IF25A on my woofer beside my computer (under my desk) to find a free usb port to plug in a floppy drive (yep, for real). It was on pretty low, but I forgot about for at least 3 hours until I noticed it wasn’t in my pocket, and started looking for it. I found it, and checked the battery, and according to Anduril, it was till at 4.1 volts. I love that light (and hi-cap 21700 cells).
yesterday - checking watch parts (crown and stem) to see why they broke and where
also to inspect other tiny parts under loupe magnification
hand holding a cr123a light, moving it around to get best contrast

My cell phone’s flashlight to look for my Sofirn SP10S in the middle of the night, for bathroom walking
used a hc33 to cut my dogs nails
Weekly ritual - about a 400-foot journey to take the garbage down to the street for pickup. SP40 headlight and drag the can with one hand to free up the other for my FT03. Shoot it around a bit up and down the street before heading back up looking for deer, owls, startled humans, whatever.
Wife and daughter just shake their heads when I walk back in.
Modified Boruit D10 to check under the couch to make sure nothing is there to get chewed up by my robot vacuum. (To clarify: a robot that is a vacuum, rather than a vacuum that sucks up robots - though I suppose it could suck up a small robot…)
Last night, the same D10 to take the trash out after I finished modding it - although currently it’s not required, as the neighbor’s holiday lighting is quite sufficient to see by on the side of my house. Normally, there is nearly no ambient lighting on the side of my house.
Used my FT03 and binoculars to see where a shingle blew off from todays high winds. Flooder didn’t work as well as a thrower for this. Too high up for me to reach. Gonna have to get someone up there. 31 year old roof. They were looking good for 25 year shingles but this is the start.
Used my Lumintop FW3A as a headlight for the golf cart we’re using at the place we are staying at on vacation in Key Largo, Florida.
The battery seemed to be going bad with the cart since it only lasted about 30 minutes with the last charge.
The brightness of the FW3A has been much brighter than any of the other carts that we’ve run across so far.
Went outside with my kid to do a night time walk.
