What did you use your flashlight for today?

[Solscud007]

I was across the street helping a friend guide her car as she parallel parked. I was 10pm and where I was standing had no street lighting. So I used the spill to light up my hand as I gestured to continue to move back and get her to move as close as possible to the car behind her.

To put my car into gear (both to illuminate the shift-lock override mechanism, and move parts of it w/ the bezel).

Used my SF L1 to light the path to our front door after a particularly long shopping session (gets dark here early in winter), then again to allow me to negotiate the yard on my way to feed the goat & rabbit :thumbsup:

I was shining my 25,000,000 cp Sunforce HID spotlight into the night sky tonight for no particular reason other than to enjoy lighting up the clear night sky with a nice, tight pencil beam.

Spotlights are so much fun! :candle:

*snip* to scare away some cats that were screaching at each other in my yard... *snip*

Haha I used the strobe on my nitecore SR3 last night for the same thing, turns out fighting cats don't like high frequency strobes at 2am.....:devil:

Used the corona of my NB SST-50 to write notes after tracking an impaired driver across "jurisdictional" lines (in quotes because there really is no jurisdiction for LEO in Ontario, but there are set patrol areas). For Ontarians, it started in OPP Aurora's patrol zone and ended up into York Regional's area. I didn't have my low-level light with me, and only non-flashaholics use the stupid dome light! :fail:

I realised after the fact that, in having to communicate with two separate agencies, I had a hard time keeping track of which dispatcher already had what information. I think dispatcher #1 got "We're going north on HWY [X] north of the [A] exit" but then dispatcher #2 just got "We're now heading east onto [Y] Rd." Good thing the vehicle then made a series of turns in quick succession, allowing the second dispatcher to establish our position while failing to lose me.

It was a... ...sobering experience.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Used my SR90 to chase off pesky teens playing soccer at the multi storey carpark opposite my apartment at 2am this morning. I forgot it was on high when I turn if off, I nearly blinded myself from the spill bouncing off my window ledge.

Used my RA clicky to inspect some leaking brakes around one of our hydro turbines.

 

[bc3010]

Used my Incendio v3 to trace a cat6 cable through the suspended ceiling.

 

[nbp]

Used Ra Twisty 100 on High to help me remove the exhaust system off my car.

Used Ra Twisty 100 on Low to remove chunk of dirt that fell in my eye while removing exhaust system. :shakehead

Nick,

I'm glad she has found a new home that will use her.

Used my Kroma on low red to read without disturbing my wife who was sleeping next to me.

Yessir! I'm finding fewer and fewer instances where I don't have either the clicky or the twisty with me. Thanks again for responding to my WTB, I'm really happy with this light. And it's a P4, which made me extra happy! Love that emitter! Thanks again Nick! I'll work with you again anytime. :twothumbs

Yesterday I used my U60 with an xp-g to spot and kill a couple of ants (they wouldn't listen to reason) on a pop-corn textured ceiling. I could barely see them with the fixed ceiling light on, but they were easy to spot with the HDS.

This is a great thread.

Just turning my Quark Mini 123 on & off at work right now (office environment). For no reason at all but just because I like the feel of the light.

Glad you're enjoying it! :thumbsup:

No reason at all is one of the best reasons.
