look what i did to my impact

[CanadianGuy]

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I don't have a ton of knowledge in electronics, just the basics (since I have an auto mechanics diploma). Just an interesting tidbit relating to the fish reactingto the red light thing, I was at my Dad's cabin last summer and went outside at night with my red LED flashlight (I dont remember what the name of it is...its rectangular and has a thumbwheel for astronomy) I was looking around with it, and a bird landed on the window screen next to me...I shone the red LEDs at it, and it just sat there STUNNED! I hope i didn't blind the poor thing. I'm becoming a big LED freak. I have a blue keychain LED, the astronomy light, and had a cheap laser pointer until the button broke. I tried to put it back in, but after dissecting the guts, the battery spring fell off the board, and I couldn't get it all back in there. In the garbage it went...piece of ****. Ah well, that's what $5-10 will get you. Bye for now.

I see they fixed the battery spring compression problem in the Bonfire. Mine was totally shot after a 2-3 foot facefirst drop. Not only did it go out, but it RATTLED like a pissed off snake afterwards because the springs compressed at least half an inch, leaving at least a quarter inch of free air between the batteries and the upper battery contact plate. Yours seems to have survived such abuse without the springs themselves deforming at all.

The springs look the same, so I'm gussing they just changed the type of metal from stainless steel to some kind of alloy spring steel.
