Great story Ryan. I carry a Fenix L2DCE and Surefire L2 in my pockets all the time that I usually get called when someone needs a light at work or at home.

Good job ryanv. Welcome to CPF, looks like you'll fit right in. Carrying a light even when in formal attire is a sign of your dedication to enlightenment.
Yeah, I had the same thought, I actually clicked to the E1b page on a dealer site but didn't go through with the purchase. I remembered my Spy 005 should also go well with a tux...

Wow! I am shocked that you were able to do that with a light powered by a CR123 battery!!!! Don't you know that is against the laws of physics?

Anyway, nice save. That is what it is all about.

:laughing: it just looks so out of place....its so strange that here you are in a suit at a wedding and you have a flashlight in your pocket ...i cant help but laugh and realize we are all a bunch of loons...but its good to be prepared
This looks formal, right?
I'm still waiting to save the day at a Jedi wedding!

That preparedness reminds me of something i have started to say. I got it from my dads friend (but for knives with him) if someone asks you if you have a flashlight (or knife) all i ever say is "im wearing pants arent i?" and Ryan, you define that. congrats on making so many peoples lives just a little bit brighter :goodjob:
Questions for Ryan, if you don't mind . . . .
-- Didn't each table have a lit candle ? Or is that a Fire-Code no-no ?
-- Did the Staff of the Reception Hall have any flashlights ?
-- Were the EXIT signs illuminated, as required by law ?
-- What about the Restrooms ? Were they pitch-dark, also ? That woulda' caused some real inconvenience !
-- Did you have your SureFire on High mode, or Low ?
-- Were you and the Police Officer the ONLY source of Light, for the entire time ?
Oh, BTW . . . .
Imagine all of the Guests, who saw your Brilliant light.
Now, imagine those SAME folks, viewing your photo (shown above).
Their overwhelming reaction has GOTTA' BE:
" Good Lord ! Look how SMALL his flashlight was ! "
" That's absolutely Incredible ! ! ! "
Great job, Ryan.
All of CPF is Proud of you !

:twothumbslooks like someone took a pic of me with my E1B out saving the night. I had my L4 and G2 in my truck, but my truck was at the hotel......
I was also a little tipsy in this picture......
The room looks bright, but thats cause of the flash on the camera!
:bow: :welcome:Ryanv! NICE! You give Flashoholics a good name!
