Who here puts their lights through the dredded SLAM TEST! :candle:

I know someone who will slam something and thats ok if you have the money to buy something else after. Who here has slammed a Fenix cree or rebel or nichia light, and if so how hard did you slam it and from what height. Perhaps you dropped your light of the above type, and if thats the case, what did you drop it on and from what height.

Im interested in their "ruggednes" i dont have the heart to slam my ones on the ground, but maybey there are some people out there with more guts and heartless'ness than i have :D

I've dropped my fenix P2d onto the driveway a few times (blacktop) no noticeable damage, not even a scratch. But it did scratch trying to put a split ring on it.

I've dropped my P1D-CE onto a hard floor from 1 meter about 5 times in total (not on purpose) - no damage apart from a couple of small marks on the bezel. Also dropped a P2D-CE from the same height onto concrete (again, not on purpose), just a small mark on the bezel, no malfunctions.
