I think you should have done all of these tests while holding the two lights.
The tests so far would kill the average human being, so if the flashlight owner is dead, who cares about the light itself? LOL.
I just got to play wid ya a little bit. Time to go clean up the O-L workshop and prepare for for the incoming patients. Let's see, I will need two hospital beds, plenty of bandages, some more pills (for me).

the rest… yeah, kind of crazy lol
Welcome to BLF! You’re not too late at all. In fact you’re the last entrant because it looks like everyone who wants to enter has, so am closing this now to post results.
Wow! Is it a trick of light or is a bit of the chrome missing from the reflector of the T50 in this pic? Obviously the T50 is not as waterproof as the SC600. Not a big shocker there. Nice work, BTW! >)
Cool results,I am surprised the Ultrafire is still alive!I think use of quality materials will definitely show in the next set of tests,the UF reflector already peeled so I think that's a sign that I picked right.You would think water ingress would have finished it off but it didn't,round 2!!!
I will not say I'm surprised that the ZL held up better so far. I expected it would. The real test will be during the impact and shock trials. I think the heavier and probably softer alloy of the T50 body will give it the edge in the next series of trials.
