Flashlight Enthusiast
i started to laugh at myself last night as i was driving to the job site.
it was in middle of the woods.. whole 3 miles of the center of the town
. middle of the night. the job was said to take 3-4 hours max. (we were out in 1.5h).
dismantling the karaoke equipment, the small stage, taking the tables and chairs to storage and cleaning up the place. it was a big lodge, with electricity and running water.. not a place you really "need" a flashlight.. good to have..but not neccessity.
so i had on me my normal edc stuff.. the lummi raw, the quark AAt and then i added up the Lmini2 as i thought if i need the output and runtime it is a must.
then thought that i test the romisen g2 for 1st time in darkness as there is a big field next to the lodge and forest etc.
then i took zebralight h501 as i thought i might need handsfree work too (wasnt there when they put the system up so i wasnt sure)
then i had forgotten the itp eos into my wallet.
and the d10 was already in jacket pocket (forgot it was there).
and then i took the maglite 2d too.. just incase there were left over partyers who would like to have a fight.. hah.. (excuse.. i wanted to play with it and show it to my co-worker with original bulb and the terralux dropin.)
you see why i was laughing at myself.. i carried 8 flashlights with me as i drove into well lit location, few hundred yards away from nearest house and few miles from city.
now, i just did little calculating.. on high mode i could of had atleast 8-9 hours or runtime.. (and sun was to rise in 7 hours). +what ever the maglite would of putten out.
and on low output.. i would of been ok for something like 12 days in a row without turning them out! (this is with low of quark..not moonlight which is plus 8 or so days! ahhahaha)
OVeRKiLL dont you agree! (yeah even you fellow flashaholics should)
*i am sick! i must be.*
this wont happen again! hahahhahah. i will count them better next time!
or instead of 8 lights i take only 4 and SPARE batteries!! yeah! that should sort me out of harms way. right? hahahh..
***those whom are interested.. basically i needed only 1. but used 4. (romisen for testing, maglite for show and tell, lmini2 and d10 to actually show light where i needed it. and d10 just because i needed to light the floor as i walked with my hands full of stuff.. and it was hanging from lanyardso it pointed the floor. lmini2 was used to scan the outside area for trash and under the table when disconnecting the wires. total use time of lights: 20minutes or so.***

You may want to bring a backup next time just in case!
