Greetings!
Having lurked and benefited from great advice for a while, I’ve decided to join this forum and share this little story.
I recently caught the bug, and bought myself the following trilogy of EDC torches
TrustFire L1 (10440)
Lumintop AA 2.0 (14500)
TrustFire MC3 (21700)
Love them all, and very happy with my choices, but the Lumintop stands out in my mind - I fell in love with it instantly!
I played with it all day long. I admired its knurling, its near perfect beam pattern, its superb quality and design. I took it to bed with me. I’d even take it out of my pocket and fondle it while driving!
Then, after just a week of ownership, disaster struck. I LOST IT! It just wasn’t there in my jeans pocket. I looked in the car. I looked under the bed. I even drove 10 miles to where I last remembered having it. Nothing. I was gutted.
After a couple of days, I was about to give up and order a replacement, when I had a brainwave. I retraced my steps one last time, but this time AT NIGHT. And there, in the long grass next to where I park my car, a faint blue glow called out to me!!
There are two morals to this story:
1. Don’t play with toys while driving.
2. Don’t knock the Lumintop’s parasitic glowing button!
