Well... I'm just logging in to let everyone know that my Wee is now squeeky clean... my Titanium Lummi Wee that is.
As I was emptying the dryer full of clothes, I was about to shut the door when something caught my eye. It was my Lummi Wee with it's tiny lanyard lying on the edge of the dryer door. I thought, "What in the hell is my Wee doing in the dryer?". Then to my horror I realized that it had just been through a wash, aggitate, rinse, spin, rinse and spin cycle PLUS a tumble through the heated depths of my dryer!!!
I picked my wee up as one might picked up their favorite pet that had just been run over. Not knowing if it would come to life again, I hesitantly inspected it looking for any damage. NONE. WHEW. So far so good. I then paused and twisted the head. ... WOW :huh: the most amazing beam of light emitted from my Wee, or so it seemed. The light was actually working much to my amazement. I was blown away! I couldn't believe it was still working. When I disassembled the Wee, the only thing that I could see was a little condensation that had accumulated on the window. There was also a brownish tint to the white strip on the + terminal of the battery, like it had been burned? I don't know if this is a something to worry about, but it read out as 3.77 volts when I checked it. It otherwise seems ok. DO you think it's still safe to use?
Anyway, for those of you who are thinking about getting a Lummi Wee, I can attest to it's durability. At least it's ability to hold up to a modern day wash machine and dryer. WIth all it's GREAT attributes, this light ROCKS!!!:rock:
