My meteor burnt a hole in my bed...

Use the lockout function of the R50, it might save you from a bad surprise !

I normally 1/4 the tailcap to save the minor parasitic draw, must have forgotten it the last time. As soon as I was parked it did back it off, so it was safe again.

Nah, it’s quite a big step from scorching (or smouldering even) to actual flames.

:zipper_mouth_face: As Benny Hill said, don’t smoke in bed, the sleeping bag you burn could be your wife :smiley:

Benny Hill, Lord help us all! My ex-wife’s mom used to watch him all the time…

Thanks, now I have Benny kazoo music stuck in my head.

And fast action Benny chasing girls in their underwear…

Saxophone………

Omg I am so sorry that this happened to you. I was always kind of scared of that and with good reason it seems. My partner used to have one of those and he also had incidents when he would leave it out and it would burn a whole in either the mattress or the sofa. He actually just told me that he burned a whole in our outdoor sofa with a thing like that and the only reason I did not notice was because he went a bought a new one in our living room and switched the old one for the patio to hide his f*-up. I should have known that the reason he suddenly wanted a new couch in the living room was not that simple but honestly I just really wanted to brighten up the place and I have been kind of nagging him about a new sectional. I was lucky enough to find a really cool website that you guys can check here:” https://nyfurnitureoutlets.com/living-room-furniture/sofas-and-sectionals/filter-turquoise”:https://nyfurnitureoutlets.com/living-room-furniture/sofas-and-sectionals/filter-turquoise (while I was searching for furniture) that had some really cool prices for sectionals. I also got lucky because the prices for weird colors like turquoise are usually lower then for a black sofa. I found a really cool model that fit amazingly in our living room. have been so happy because of it so that even when my SO told me why he bought a new sofa I was not even mad. But he is not allowed in the room alone anymore that is for sure hehe

Imagine a Texas lumens modded mt09r coming on in your pocket? You have to take the tail off in order to lock it out

At first I thought this was gonna be a sort of Donnie Darko thing…

That’s dangerous, you can send it to me and I will take the danger for you. :smiley:

Yakety Sax thing

the dark color didn;t help!

I love my Meteor and will never get rid of it even though I rarely use it. But every time I do, it brings a big smile to my face!

I've got the inevitable Meteor pattern burns all down the front of my favorite satin shirt.

I just remembered my wife left one of my lights on, face down, putting a nice burn mark in my grandmother’s antique furniture. If it wasn’t so well built it probably would have gone up in flames. I noticed smoke coming from the wood as i laid down in bed. I think that might have been a meteor also. I should have known better than to trust her with a powerful light after she let my little one play with my duty light until the battery died. Then he threw it in the garbage
