When does a Flashlight become a work or ART some thing you would find at the museum of modern Art, to nice to use. Well my latest light just might fall in to this category. It's so perfectly finished I'm afraid to use it.

Any Car nut recognizes the billet box the light is sitting on.

The thought with the museum is not too far off - many flashlights qualify as modern art: ugly, expensive, useless.

Lights are always works of art, from minds of the talented to physical matter. But too perfect to use? Outside of a few specimens, most of the lights over a year old being sold over in B/S/T are commanding values lower than what was initially invested in them. Unless you feel a light will hold a resale value higher than its initial investment, never.

It gets easier once you put your first scratch or ding on it.

Haha...I remember this happening.....I used to work not far from the location....Perth, WA. To the right, and just behind the is a pub. Apparrently the driver was showing off in front of a lot of patrons at that pub. Who knows, maybe he was even goaded on by all the onlookers...hehe.
Face must have been same colour as the car shortly afterward.
