I once flashed myself with an HID light. It was totally unintentional; it slipped out of my hands and while trying to catch it I blasted myself... instant headache. :green:
Wow....you survived?

Well I guess you're easy to see at the SHOT show, right?Made a self-portrait (from an old thread).

A little immature, but if your friends dig your lights you might as well let them: I was at boy scouts last night and I was talking to one of my friends about flashlights "as we normally do" and I mentioned how funny the guys at PF12 thought my cardboard hexagon light was. He asked if he could see it, so I said sure and after the meeting I brought him over to my car, I gave it to him to try out and he thought is was the greatest thing since sliced bread, he's seen my 4400 lumen Bigbeam "the sun" light so I didn't think he'd enjoy it so much, but with it's pencil thin beam and no side spill he couldn't get over it, next thing I knew, he started shouting "I am Sauron!" and "The Eye of Sauron sees you!" while holding the light up over his head panning it around and hitting the low clouds. "The eye of Sauron AKA the big flaming eye on top of the dark tower in lord of the rings" Now I'm laughing because it had never accrued to me how much the light was like the eye of Sauron being so small and having such a piercing beam. Then he runs over to my car telling me we had to drive past the corn fields so he could use the light. So we jump in my car and slowly start driving down past the large fields near the church, all the while he was yelling "obey the Mighty Sauron!" it was quit funny, probably because it was so random he is pretty goofy. In his honor, my new more powerful version of this light I'm building will be called "The Eye of Sauron":devil:.
I thought it was odd at first: One of my non-CPF flashaholic friends occasionally uses the ROP-LO I gave him to recharge one of his solar-powered watches. He repairs watches as a hobby.
No turtle wax but lots of polyglaze.
I have been doing the same for many times now! It never occurred to me it would be classified as weird flashlight usage....
