As soon as I opened the door to my front-loader and saw how bright it was in there, I knew it was going to be a tough day. My mint Arc LS (upgraded last year) had gone through the wash and, most unfortunately, worked its way out of my jeans pocket in the process.
Though it still works perfectly with not even a haze of water vapor anywhere, the HA on the outer circumference of the bezel wore off about 80% and became nasty and rough.
I'm pretty pissed at myself. All I could do was carefully sand a nice. even chamfer along the whole edge. The newly bare 1/32" bevel almost looks intentionally decorative now. This light survived years of (no keys) pocket-carry in almost mint condition but was ruined by a moment of stupidity.
If I could do Yoga, I'd kick myself dead in the _ss.
