Fenix l1p+cold wash cycle=more fenix street cred

I was using my Fenix L1P for nighttime airsoft on saturday night and left it in my army surplus jacket. Tonight I realised my jacket wash in the washer and my Fenix L1P with it. My first thought was this would be a great time for my fenix to prove itself:huh: . I went into the laundry room and found my Fenix in the washer that had just gone through one cold wash cycle. This is truly an awsome light.

Thats a quality tool, (flashlight)
no wonder their so popular,
After hearing testimonials like this,
I went out and ordered one
Can't wait to try it out

I hope you don't mean putting it through the washer!

I believe this is the second grand exploit that the Fenix has undergone, this time a "water torture" test. The first was some guy about 3 weeks ago who worked in construction and accidentally "dropped" his Fenix about 12(?) stories high!

Nice, little, tought light that works on readily available batteries!

I'd be surprised if any of the better lights we like around here didn't surprise a "dunk".

Actually, it was 17 stories... https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/96573

. . . and I stand corrected! Thank you.

12 stories, 17 stories... I wonder what the terminal velocity on a Fenix is anyway <grin>.

I just looked at my "17 floors" post - wow, I sounded like a picky jerk. Sorry about that...

Though that was mighty considerate of you to "apologize", dude, chill! No sweat, no harm, no foul!

Now lets be off and shine that Fenix pocket rocket! Wheeee. . .

Coincidentally, the guy who dropped the Fenix just posted this today:

A quick update on the little fenix that fell. It is now on its third battery, I use it a lot, and it is still working great. I am waiting for my L2P to see if it is as good.

Not really a coinicidence I was reading this thread and thought I would Update mine. Now I need to try dropping it 17 stories into a glass of water for the real ultimate drop test.

Or perhaps put it in a washing machine and drop that 17 stories...

Now that would be something.
