Flashlight Enthusiast
Last night, me and my son were roughhousing. It got heated, and he threw a rubber ball at me. It hit me in a... very sensitive area. After recovering, I took the ball away and threw it out in the backyard. The cold, dark, backyard. He got upset and wanted help to go find it.
For some background, there's a great scene in "Night At The Museum 2" where Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill square off. Jonah Hill plays a security guard armed with a Streamlight Ultrastinger. My son loves that scene and thought the light was cool, so I scored one for him from the 'bay. It sits in his room. So last night I said "Get your Ultrastinger and go get it! Watch out, I think I saw some gleaming eyes looking hungry in the bushes!" which my wife didn't think was funny.
He went out there and I turned the flashlight on and adjusted the beam and lit up the ball perfectly in the grass from our back door way out in the dark backyard. A dark blue rubber ball the size of a baseball in the leaves and grass maybe 20-30 yards away in the dark and it was instantly identifiable. I gotta say, that light is still a thrower and the color rendition from a powerful incan can't be beat. Not even fully charged all the time, the light did the job and them some. Those old school incans still have punch where it counts.
