Hello to all the CPF members.
I am curious about many flashlight you have lost.
Me, in one year, i lost these flashlight during my touring work on some theatre:

Nr. 2: ARC AAA-P
Nr. 1: ARC AAA (new style)
Nr. 1: Fenix L1
Nr. 2: 4AA Streamlight Polymer

And for me it's not a good experience!
Thanks!
Giovanni

Re: how many flashlight do you loosed?

loose?

I set some loose every night...mostly single celled, spent primaries that cant be used two 2 celled lights are used at night out doing beamshots.:laughing:

seriously speaking, ahem

a couple minimags for now....that was my loaner light of choice, either someone losed it, loaned it to someone else...or lost and found later thats aged or leaked beyond recognition.

and a couple of this, but the runtime wasnt anywhere near this

Re: how many flashlight do you loosed?

First off I will say, your English is MUCH better than my Italian and I suspect that of many others, and I applaud your efforts :).

Secondly I will say, I have been extremely lucky and not lost any flashlights in a long time. I lost my incandescent Minimag about 10 years ago, but with some searching of the woods where I was hunting I found it the next day. That is about as close as I have come lately. Now I will go knock on wood ...

I have a Fenix L2T that has been AWOL for about two months. Still can't find it.

I recently lost one of the 18650 tubes for my HDS U60. I found the head, but the body is gone. As far as I know, there were only 100 of these tubes in existence.

I keep hoping it will show up somewhere...

My worst was throwing away a NIP ARC-AA with the packing materials in a multi light order.

Other than that there always seems to 2-4 lights that I can't put my hands on at any given time. They always turn up -- but until they do they're lost. Right now I can't find 3 Photon Freedoms but I know they're here somewhere.

Lost a minimag years ago, leant it to someone on a night hike and it never returned. Lying in a bog somewhere now.

Lost my L2T a couple of months ago. Heard it fall out of my pocket but I couldn't find it. I was working away from home at the time so that one's a goner too now.

Luckily nothing too expenive. Yet.

I've lost countless lights in my time but the one that really hurts is:

Silver L1 with matching raw aluminum cr123 body with one AW RCR123 cell and a millermod circuit driving the original lux 1 to 1.25 watt. (ouch it still hurts to talk about this one)

Hi,

Uso il google e traduco da inglese ad italiano :lolsign:


I've been lucky. Every torch that went missing has showed back up. I nearly killed my plumber once but found the M4 later.. my bad :)

I have three lights MIA. A Fenix L2T, Surefire G2, and a Fenix L1P. Thankfully they are not too expensive to replace.
