I was mouth holding my Q-3 yesterday whilke crawling under my desk at work. Think i may have hurt a tooth LOL

 

[RA40]

Not for me. I can usually find a place to prop a light to illuminate what need be.
Have had enough friends who've mouth held something only to find a sudden jar or such has now chipped a tooth or two. Not that my teeth are pretty to begin with.

Momma told me, "only put things in your mouth you intened to eat."

Not me, I catch myself when I find myself considering it. I have too much expensive. dental work I dont want to repeat. One being my very front tooth that I had broken out with a steel pipe when in 8th grade.

Some possible solutions to this:

1. Keep a couple of skinny rubber bands in your pocket -- and wrap it around that light's body -- just for times like this. I've already wrapped some of my more slippery lights with rubber bands -- simply to improve their grip. Based on this experience, I recommend those big purple rubber bands that grocers use to wrap broccoli. Think "organic high fiber," dude!

2. Maybe somebody needs to invent a pocketable "flashlight condom" for this. I am not volunteering my services.

I love it. The era of safe lighting has begun...just put the gun to my head.

sounded like sand in the mouth. No wonder I got to a cosmetic dentist and he takes ALL my non-flahsligh money lol

Definitely find myself "lipping" whichever AAA light I happen to be carrying on those two hands needed occasions. So far, my lights have been drool-proof.

The minigag I used for a few years as #1 camping light still has the 2 layers of shrink tubing I put on it for that purpose! With a small, lightweight light, "lipping" it is second nature when I need both hands free, like today inside a friends computer. I've never dropped it in the commode or a urinal. :green: (Another silly, but funny thread.)

Instead of holding the flashlight in my mouth, I use a six inch pocket tripod with a flashlight holder on top. Most of the time I just candlestick my Surefire L4. It's like turning on an overhead light.

 

[CanDo]

try holding your AAA flashlights in your cheek, just outside of your teeth. Certainly not hygenic, but possibly more comfortable.

I love this place.

I've a Fenix L1T, and was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to make it easier to "mouth hold", as it's hard to put anything on the end of it as it has got the tail clickie?

 

[Atomlite]

I do that when I need both hands and the light is small and lightweight.

 

[GregWormald]

Of course I do.
BTW--for those worried about sanitation--where do you keep your light that it gets dirty?
I keep mine in a pocket (or on a lanyard) and I'm happy to touch a sandwich with hands that have been in the same pocket.

This is my "teeth friendly" rubber o-ring set up that also works as a lanyard attachment.

Put my flashlight in my mouth???

Not a chance.

You wouldn't believe where some of my lights have been.
