dropped into an outlet hole in a wall about 6 feet high, fell to the bottom, in the wall of a business, can't really justify cutting a hole at the bottom of the wall and putting another faceplate on it. :(

sucks, I use that light ALL the time for work in the winter. Hmmm.. now to find a new 18650 light... perhaps the fenix. Any other recommendations?

If you know exactly where the light fell you could always grab a meterstick, tape it to another one, and then tape a rare earth magnet or two to the end of the second meterstick. It's crude, however, has saved me on more than one occasion, as the metal in your 18650 will stick to the magnets which will be able to hold the weight of the light.

A place in need of light.
Wow dude, I would so pile drive throw that wall to get the light:banghead:. Worst case I would keep a mental track of that building and if they ever do knock it down or remodel it you should come over grab your light before someone else does:eek:. Think 30 years from no that building may be torn down and you could find that light:eek:oo:. To think of Surefire C2 as an antique:faint:! What will we be using for illumination then:wow:?…………I'll still be using a Bigbeam:nana::ohgeez:!

Save the light, you could try a strong magnet on a long stick or a long string.
If all else fails, knock down the wall!

Fenix TK11 is direct drive on an 18650.

If you want regulated output on that cell, get an Eagletac T10L instead. The clip is useless because it's mounted too low. (Then again, the clip on the TK11 is a joke).
