well the snowbank one i can vouch for. when your shoveling a driveway and something pops out of your pocket… theres a good chance you wont find it again until spring, unless you know when and where you dropped it…
the rest… yeah, kind of crazy lol
eagerly awaiting results

85coke:
I’ll vote for the zebralight.
I own an SC600W. Seems to be a very sturdy light except I think the switch may be a weak point.
Edit: sorry, looks like I didn’t join the forum soon enough. Still interested in the outcome of this though.
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.
Giveaway closed.
Now for the results of the tests.

Overnight in a snowbank at an undisclosed location:
What next? How about an hour in the basement sump?:
Filthy in that sump so time for wash cycle #1:
And wash cycle #2 , also on Super Wash setting:
Now into the dryer:
Not completely dry so maybe an hour in the oven will help:
The snowbank did nothing last night so let’s put them in the freezer tonight. Set both lights as low as I could:
Defrosting:
After defrosting (both lights are still set as low as I could get them last night):
Now that they’re defrosted, let’s boil them with eggs for breakfast:
Both are still working although the UF-T50’s a little dim:
Let’s bake them again! At least that will dry out the UF-T50:
They seem to be doing better. Let’s see what scaru has in store for them!

that ice test might be a different story if you did the boil test first and just threw the pot in the freezer J)

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! >)

No trick of light; it came off during the boiling.

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.

if the other testing participants didn’t delineate tests for scaru, i’m predicting certain death for at least one, and maybe both in round two!
that guy’s twisted :davie:

Looks like I "bet" on the dark horse ...... but the contest isn't over yet ...
Both are bruised, but functional. I can't believe it.
The Executioners are having TOO much fun.
Thanks for the "update" photo's ..... suspense is killing me.
This is a very unique idea and loads of FUN
Better make a call to the Doctor, (Doctor of Illumination = O-L), make sure the ER is prepped and ready to go.

Do we know what the weight (Pre-Torture, less battery) of each light ?
Thickness of O-Rings ? The T50 has a sprung a leak.
