I have a two month old Solarforce Lt2 purchased from SB flashlights. I run some rechargeable 123a in good condition (checked weekly). Well two night ago I was rooting around in the back of my 4 runner for some tools. It was snowing lightly, (.25 inch and hour) at approx. 32 degrees F. I had the light in my mouth.Light was in mouth for 30 secs or so.
And BOOM. loud noise. Bright flash. Feeling of broken glass in my mouth. Had to slow down to get myself to breathe.
Swept mouth for glass. Ran inside.
called 911 and called for my son, because I had no voice. Son called 911, he is 7. Took a minuet to get over the pool of blood on the floor. Fire Department arrived less than 3 minuets later.
The paramedics were amazed that I was conscious. They established an airway and rushed me to the local burn center.
So here I sit, day three with 3rd degree burns to the mouth ane throat, heavily sedated, intubated with a breathing tube and feeding tube in my throte. They are afraid if an emergency air way were needed, it would not be possible.
So far no one is sure what happened. An arc, a battery explosion, who knows.
My initial thought, al LED wit a snow flake seems unlikely due to the lack of glass found.
