Burned/Melted my first pair of pants. :S

Surprisingly, it was my Zebralight SC600w Mk IV Plus that did it. I always thought that a Hanklight would be most likely to destroy a pair of pants and I carry them a LOT.

It was in my pocket with my wallet and wireless IEM case and somehow when I went to grab my wallet the button got depressed. Suddenly I smelled something burning in my car and realized what it was. Due to the pants being made with synthetics, the pocket actually fused to the pants leg–there was also a hole clean through both pants and pant leg.

The important thing is, the flashlight is ok. :grin: It cost almost four times what that cheap pair of “dress” pants did anyway.

Wow! That’s a considerable hole! :grimacing:

Wow !
Impressive lighter, Heu … I mean flashlight :wink:
That’s why I’m a big fan of auto-lockout / light sensor (Even if it’s quite rare :slight_smile: furthermore when I transport the light in the original cardboard

I’m Glad you’re okay :slight_smile:

The Wurkkos TS21 can melt Canadian money.

@MascaratumB Yea I was surprised! In the past I’ve always felt the heat before any damage was done.This time I was sitting and the pocket was not in contact with my leg.

@Kerberus Thanks! I literally didn’t feel a thing actually (see above). I don’t know if the Zebralights have a lockout. I’ll check it out.

Someone should step it up and melt a credit card :thinking:

Not only would the bill still be owing, the credit card company might decide to charge you for a replacement card.

Now if you were going to cut it up anyways…

Used to get “credit cards” in the mail all the time from card companies. I was thinking it would be neat to see one of those melted. TBH I haven’t seen one in a while though.

Darn, we just shredded several credit cards today else I would’ve tried it.

I’m assuming the plastic ones, not aluminum correct? :crazy_face:

Oh an XHP50 led ! I was kidding talking about a lighter but it’s not so far from reality :grin:

Blockquote @Kerberus Thanks! I literally didn’t feel a thing actually (see above). I don’t know if the Zebralights have a lockout. I’ll check it out.

If no lockout available, try the good old method : unscrew the battery part just a few :wink: (be careful about water since :wink:

This is your first pair of pants?

Last time I melted a hole in my pants was in high school in 1984. Seed burns were a very real hazard prior to the emergence of Sinsemilla.

Fortunately technology has kept advancing.
