What did you use your flashlight for today?

Used light as defensive tool when in troubled situations recently : Batlight, and Stansport lights.

Looks CERN…ISH. :wink:

I see a couple of loose bolts as well. :person_facepalming:

So I bought a small FPV drone :

Sometimes I crash, and some propellers can be lost…
Fortunately they are highly fluorescent…
So all I have to do is to wait for the sun to fall and rock my 365nm UV S2+ !

White light :

UV light :

All I have to do is to blast it on the ground, from left to right while walking and the little propeller just POPS out of the grass :smiley:

I cleaned up my basement today, took a while and still not finished. My S2+ is a great help in seeing all the dark corners.

Been constantly using a couple lights dedicated for garage use the last few months working under several cars to get them to pass smog and chasing a nagging coolant leak. Finally got all 3 to pass smog and coolant leak resolved. They were the Zeusray zoomie and a Super Light AA.

Add some fluorescent dye to the coolant and a UV S2+ with ZWB will find the leak in seconds. :laughing:

I can remember the days of the 12V battery-clip-on 100W halogen spotlight with silvered glass to filter only the miniscule “UV” content of the light. My mechanic’s in awe with the UV S2+.

I use a flashlight every day commuting on my bike, but since Saturday was our quarterly release night, and I rode home, I thought I would see if I could get a cool pic:

I LOVE my Thorfire TK15S

I used a cheap 3xAAA 12 LED urine finder to locate the bleepin’ oring from my D4V2 bezel which flew into my junkpile under my desk. My regular lights were worthless. It lodged up sideways behind some spare hard-drives stacked along side my desk divider wall. The regular lights just blended the translucent cream color of the ring into the dustbunnies and doghair under there. I retrieved this <$5 wonder and it popped out like a Cheshire cat grin way back under there. I guess I might have to get a proper UV unit.

Power was out at my home for 39 hours between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, so my three LED lights purchased over the last 8 months were all used.

Not today, but this week.

My Convoy M1 was invaluable in lighting my way while swapping a tyre that got slashed by an irregularly-made edge of sidewalk at my sister-in-law’s office. It was dusky and I would have struggled a lot lighting the scene myself with just my Lumintop Tool CRI between my teeth. Said sister-in-law gets a 2/10 score as a worklight holder though, never pointed the beam where I needed it until I lost patience and called her out each time :neutral_face:

In the end, I was sore for this entire week from not being used to working while crouched and my wallet got a hard freaking sting from having to buy two brand new tyres (15” are expensive as duck where I live, close to 80 dollars each). No new flashlights or batteries for me for at least 6 months :weary:

We have a mother bear ’n cubs in the swamp adjacent who like to destroy
the blackberry bushes this summer.

My D4S is a expedient tool, scares the shit out of them. Scares the shit out of me, too. :wink:

I used FW3A ‘lightning flash’ mode to amuse my little kids
they are 7, amusement lasted for about a minute

Dropped my 10250 on the floor. I was taking it out to charge it. It's black, the carpet in the office is dark, and it was under the desk... Had to grab my D25C to find it.

yesterday
tile floor was gritty
detected sand
used flashlight, horizontal on the floor, to target sand for sweeping and vacuuming

wle

You call that expensive??

I wish I could get brand new tires for twice that much…

“Two is one, one is none.” :stuck_out_tongue:

Is your monthly paycheck less than 700 800 dollars?

It reminds me my cleaning kit :smiley: [Wuben TO46R with Odepro adaptor in my mop]

Used my Convoy S2 in 4000K to trim up a piece of cabbage that was in the fridge for a while. Despite it being XM-L2, I must’ve gotten an outlier in the CRI department, as it allowed me to pick the spoiled spots perfectly, even better than my Nichia S2+.

The chickens sure are thankful for the snack. :wink:
