Whoops I screwed up!

I lent my XO with maxpedition sheath to my friend at work becuase she was on shift at night. Turn out she thinks that I gave it to her. Well now what??!?!? I need a similar light and that particular model is apparently discontinued. Should I buy an Inova T2? Is it better than the XO? Any suggestions as to what I should do and what light I should replace it with in a comparable category?

Ask for it back? Unless you really did give it to her. My vote goes to the Inova XO or the rechargeable T4.

Jeff

i know the stress u speak of.



YOu "Should" ask for it back but I know the stress sometimes.

First off, show her this site, she may end up being one of us.

About the light, well if you really liked the XO you may search BST for another one.

The Inova XO with TIROS is now called the XO2, and the Inova T2 is essentially the same as the TIROS XO -- just with a checkered grip and tactical clickie.

She might give it back when she finds it uses 123 batteries... you know...

hahha she might indeed. you my friend are awesome.

I had heard that the t2 was esentially the same. If it is, the checkered grip and clickie will serve me well. I think I will use this as an opportunity to buy a t2 and cut my losses. HAH!:rock:

I think the big picture may not be in focus. A couple of questions...

When you two grab some coffee do you ever pay for both cups?

Have you ever paid for her lunch?

Have you ever bought her a meal, even a burger or a sub or a street hotdog or some pizza after 6:00 pm?

Would you reload her XO from your stash of batteries?

Did you answer yes to any three of the four the above questions?

If so, you have a new girlfriend.

That's great. She's a medtech, she's into flashlights and she thinks you are the bomb.

Congratulations!

i say go for the t2 this thing will run almost for 6 hours to it hits 50% output.
Mike..

Another option would be to check out the Vortex Vision TR3—:wave:

Take a little gratuitous extracuricular activity in trade and chalk it up.

Either way let her have it... :candle:

If she's hot gotta replace batteries as needed. (Always keep supply of spare batteries...)

We gots to know!!! :huh:


.

Is she more than a co-worker? If you really don't want to 'hurt her' by asking for the flashlight back, either you get yourself a new one (as you've seemingly decided) or get her a new one and exchange it for the one you lent her. Maybe you can use the excuse of the light using 123 cells and get her something using AA or C cells.

Make sure next time to say "I'm LENDING you this light " or "BORROW this light FOR THE NIGHT" whenever you temporarily LEND someone a light.

All the best.

Bright Guy has both the new style and old style XO's for sale on his website.

You can get the old X0 on Ebay in a number of sites and Brightguy has them also. Grab a couple, I have , I am sure the new X02 with the 2 Watt LED they advertise will not get as good runtimes as the old X0. Not saying I wont get the X02 also, eventually I do like th slim design lol.

It sounds as if your biggest mistake is allowing her to think that you gave it to her. Misunderstandings happen and letting it continue might just screw you later on when you "lend" her something else... I would rectify it now, before it gets too far along.

Maybe a year or so from now in a "How did you meet your spouse?" thread, pfmedic says:

"Wool um, this really pretty co-worker took my high tech flashlight. So I thought about what to do about it and then I asked my CPF buddies about it then concluded...I had no choice other than to marry her.

I'm so happy I could just pee photons".

:lolsign: I thought exactly the same when I read the OP.

Your light is gone, time to get a new one. Once you marry her, you'll eventually get to use your XO again, so no harm is done.

Let me shed some light on the subject (bad joke)


Well shes married Icebreak and other brothers of the light. sorry.

LIPS he is hot indeed so she will be getting free 123's. By the by, I looked at your profile picture and I may be sending you free batteries as well.

I bought a t2 and a new 5" maxpedition sheath to boot.

She deserves the light. She is a better emt than I. She made the front page of the newspaper and i taped it to my mirror to remind me that I am number two. Yes, in hindsight, she deserves and can have the light and free 123's

In that case, hands off, my friend.

Congratulations on being such a great EMT partner. :twothumbs
