Nothing life-threatening or saving here, just a use of my new light.
The cat was sleeping calmly behind the curtains in the computer room when a dog started barking at the window. Immediately she was up and hissing at the window, her tail the size of a 2 litre coke bottle!
The dog tried the cat door and she ran to it, hissing and spitting ferociously and protecting the house from the invader.
In the light from my new McGizmo Haiku XPG-BB I could see what looked like the little Jack Russell terrier from next door. Soon the neighbour was knocking on the door--Could I help her catch her daughter's dog which was visiting for a week?
On low, the light illuminated the dog easily, however "Mom" obviously doesn't play such fun chasey games and the dog was not to be caught--it was having waaaay too much fun running and barking!
Over the road it went, and the neighbour enlisted the householder there to join in the catch. He, like the neighbour, didn't have a light at all, and my Haiku was continually being called on to "spot the pooch". On high, we could easily see the dog from my driveway across the road, and I noticed it didn't like the bright light much.
So, instead of catching the dog, I got behind it and chased it home with 185 lumens until it retreated inside the garage.
I've been told a bottle of wine in thanks is on the way. :p
Success, and my Haiku had it's first real workout--(although I've had lots of fun playing!).
