I got a bit spooked so I felt I should share this. I don't normally make threads like this. I feel geared more towards the importance of light reliability.
I went to Marin yesterday, I often go there for finding old bunkers/hiking, some bunkers fer few even know about them, there locations, or even that they exist even when they are standing on them. It was dark out and I noticed they were doing a restoration project for the habitat. There is a tiny hole in the ground hidden that leads down a ladder to a 100 foot ventilation shaft I know about as entrance to a huge complex. This may sound odd going into these places, but it's my side hobby. It leads to a 85,000sq' bunker. I went down for the hell of it since it might be covered up for good since the tiny hole was now exposed and forest and foliage that was once around around it cleared for restoration.
The hole is very tiny. And I banged my PA40 on a concrete pour and the light shutoff. Not sure if I hit the button, thought I hit it on the head. It shutoff and I was in th dark, I forgot I took out my backup in a light rearrangement as I sold some of my 2AAs the same day, my P100A2 and Energizer e2. The first thought that came to my mind was this, not kidding. "Now I believe in what I hear about Surefire". I thought about surefire right away lol. I owned a G2X before but sold it soon after, no reason for the sell just wanted to try something else.
Not sure what caused it to shut off but it turned back on. I could have hit the button I don't really remember but now I know the importance of having a reliable light. And backup, even if it's just a single simple AA.
Now I want a really reliable long, lasting, tough light in the AA form. Feel free to recommend it to me, I am all ears.
Thanks guys.
