When i started researching flashlights my wife gave a big sigh “not another bloody gadget” she wasn’t laughing the other day when my little DQG that i won on this fabulous forum saved the day .
My wife and i were on holiday and the hotel that we stayed in had an underground car park to which you were given the keys to enter , one key to get you into the area where the lift was and another for when you exited the lift for another door which took you int the car park area .
Well we went down in the lift got out into a small corridor the lift door shut pitch black couldn’t see a thing lift had gone back up , She’s panicking , “Wait while i just whip my new gadget out” big smile , found the door and saved the day . One up for Gadget Man
my wife just laughs at me and my lights…there hasn’t been enough “oh sh@t” moments were a flashlight was needed…I just always have it out uselessly shining it at things and annoying people…lol
My wife rolled her eyes many many time as I acquired lights. Then, she dropped a very expensive bit of jewelry. She made a bee-line to the drawer to get my L2T w/ the High CRI drop-in. She found the jewelry. Now she grabs a light anytime she has to look into a dark space. She also loves my Seraph “mule” I keep on the bedside, perfect on low for nightime “bumps”, or if she needs to get up and get something out in the living room. I’m planning on giving her a SolarForce X3 for her purse, she has asked for “something smaller than my L2Ts.
My sister was on tour in a small art museum. The guide had a flashlight showing the paintings,and he ran out of batteries.One of those 50 cent keychain lights saved it.She was amazed by the amount of light it had.Asked for another to put on a sports jacket zipper.
