What did you use your flashlight for today?

[papershredder]

my nieghbor called me about a squirrel having a seizure by her garbages. i actually just tossed my 6p on the bed and thought i didn't have a flashlight. i patted my pockets and realized i put my rexlight 2.0 in my pocket, because i never knew you could use 14500 batteries in it. i turned it on and looked around for it, finding a dead squirrel under the shack where the garbage bins are stored. he was stiff as a board at this point, so i think he might have had rabies. the kids were fascinated for about half a minute before they ran off with my flashlight. this is why i always carry two. had to pick up the squirrel in the dark. which reminds me...where are those kids?

Squirrels typically don't get rabies. It's very rare for small critters like these to be carriers. Typically a larger animal that has the rabies usually kills the smaller animal outright. The smaller animal does not get a bite and then gets away.

Used my EDC Fenix L0D (the precursor to the LD1) to find a speck of dirt in a coworkers eye. He was very grateful.

Used my mule to check the handy work of a friend.

Dropped a 64GB Micro SD card... had to find it before the cats did! (and it had all my mp3s on it too...)

Today, I used my Raysoon Cree XR-E Warm (which actually replaced my Solarforce L2, believe it or not) to shine on a faraway spot on the gravel at my house because I didn't know if it was a snake or not. So far, this light has paid for itself many times over by size, battery life and weight. I love it. Just the other day I used it to shine on a tachometer wheel at work to check o-ring wear, and it did perfect. I'm really taken a shine, no pun intended, to my new EDC.

PS... If I can get my lazy hind quarters to make a review I will. :nana:

Used my predator X setup to tail stand in its lowest output mode as a night light for my kid since we were staying in a hotel.

Day before that used my Fenix ld22 while looking at homes.

Got my freshly opened Ultrafire 501B plenty greasy and grimey while changing out a serpentine belt and a starter over the weekend. It's nice to have bright throw around lights for tasks like that.

Used MD2 M61 219 to install a supercharger in my friends car.

Used my G3 to install a new clutch and rear main seal, it held up well to being dropped, thrown, dragged and stuck into odd metal places. There's still not a single sign of wear on the body.

Tail standing my Xeno E03 Nichia 219 to install a kitchen sink faucet. One of my least favorite tasks of all time

To find a holding collar on the end of a machine roller at work. Then to put it back. Then to find it after it popped off again.

Today, I used my Spy007 to demonstrate the difference between a phosphorescent military compass and a tritium one.

 

[Monocrom]

Shined my 2C Lowes Task Force light last night into a drawer from across the room, so that a loved one could find her pills.

 

[Goodoleboy]

Used my Streamlight Strion led to look for screws in my cupboard, and evryday at work.

Used my SC52 and S-mini to stage and light many, many fireworks tonight!

 

[buds224]

Had to repair one of my kid's toys. Lots of soldering and re-wiring involved. Couldn't be more comfortable with the lighting provided by the flood option of my Fenix HP25. Love headlamps now.

To spot a Quad Rotor Drone.

Ready for this one! Used my EA4W to light up the battery chamber of my TM11 while my son screwed the center pillar back into position! Seems it had worked itself loose and was rattling around inside.

 

[MasseyLake]

Had to take apart and fix an old gas stove.

Used my M6 with MD60 to go see who my pitbull chased out of the yard at midnight while letting her out to do her business. Never did find them but we heard footsteps running up the gravel road behind the house.
