I’m done with using flashlights at work! I keep losing them, and they are simply not robust enough for use in the motor trade. I’m looking to go back to a good old rubber coated multi emitter inspection lamp:
Like so…
Anything I’m missing from our friends in China? Not up on the latest stuff really…
Be careful with a proprietary battery, a little damage and either a fireball or at least a nonfunctioning light.
I don’t know what you are talking about as far as robustness….I have beat the stuff out of my flashlights (olight s10-l2 and nitecore mt2a) in a machine shop, I even dropped the olight in a bucket of hot dirty hydraulic oil. No problems at all.
But if you are insistent on a rubber coating , make sure it is not urethane. Oil and gasoline (petrol?) attack urethane, and you’ll have a gooey, foul smelling mess.
