Reason #1,427,954 to Lanyard Your Lights!

<< "After use and before flush." >>

Think of it this way. One "after use" product is actually sterile to begin with, the other is not. You had a 50-50 chance of being "lucky," so to speak. Beyond that, all I can say us.....

:eeew:

It was the sterile after-use product. Had it been the un-sterile one I would have flushed and let it go. I'd be buying another X1 and holding a funeral for the old one. :mecry:The X1 DID have a lanyard attached(Which I replaced.), I just wasn't using it. The light received a thorough scrubbing, a new paracord lanyard, and grip tape. I won't be mouth-holding it, but I never did before either.

So folks, learn from me. Put lanyards on your lights and use them! :buddies:

Just don't put the old one for sell at "CPFMarketPlace"

Can't believe you guys are scared of a little bit of human feces, much less dilute human urine. ;>

Guess you've never changed a messy diaper or done anything major with a sewer line or a septic tank.

What's a descriptive term for a plumber who bites his nails?

Thankfully this has not happened to me yet, but if it did I'd rescue the light even if it were the worse of the 2 possibilities... just a scrub and it'll be clean again. Sure it's horrible to do but would you rather give up your light? >_<

+1 to that. After an old incontinent dog and almost 10 months of changing diapers (and we don't use the disposable kind either) that doesn't sound like a big deal, even if it had been the non-sterile stuff. Just rinse it off and it's good to go. Sterilize with a blowtorch if you must.

Still, sounds like a perfect excuse to buy a headlamp!

After 2 kids, this seems like a minor issue to me.

EDITED--someone might read my post while eating...was about an experience with my little boy, overflowing diapers, curtains, his upset stomach, and my sudden need for THREE clean shirts within about 5 minutes...

I love both of my kids.

 

[Learjet]

I don't care, I HATE lanyards! I take all mine off.

And people ask me why we never had children.........

A slip, a splash, and into the bowl it went. My X1 had ventured where no flashlight had gone before. I am not the squeamish sort, so after a semi-smothered oath I reached in and retrieved it.

By the way, what is the serial number of this X1 ?

Any chance of you putting this light on the net for sale ? Please give us advance notice to evacuate the net.

Note to self; do not buy any lights from Diesel Bomber or any other parent on this thread!!

 

[kelmo]

So now you have at least one "crappy" light. Sorry I couldn't resist the pun!

This is why I never borrow tools from a plumber...

Whoa! No kids here, thanks! :nana:

Yeah maybe you need a designated "Head" lamp

 

[flashfan]

Too much information!!!

I have a hold my AA maglite in my mouth for hands free work, but now what? How clean can you get it? It's all in the mind.
