as promised, i sent my C2 into the washing machine together with the laundry, with batteries and lamp. i left it in the pocket of a pair of jeans since i didn't want it banging around in the machine.
first thing i did when i opened the door was search for the pair of jeans, but the light was no longer inside. i figure it probably came out during the tumble cycle, so i started transferring all the clothes into the dryer. on removing a blanket, my C2 clattered noisily to the ceremic tiled floor, making yet another dent in the bezel, together with the numerous scrapes on the bezel and tailcap it sustained when it got out of the jeans pocket and banged around inside the machine /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
for the moment of truth, i gripped the C2 nervously and pushed the tailcap button, but there was no light. i panicked, then i remembered i had locked out the tailcap before sending it into the machine. i aligned the notches, pushed the switch and i was rewarded with a nice flood of light no different from how it had been before i put it in the laundry. the beam was still in focus, and on opening it, not a single drop of water leaked in /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
i now have the utmost confidence in my C2, and i expect it will survive anything i can throw at it within reason /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
