I have a brand spankin' new PowerTac "Warrior" that I purchased just recently (Real World Review Pending). As I was doing my "standard neighborhood walk" I notice some folks near the edge of our park walking around (with crap flashlights) and calling out a name. I thought they were looking for their dog or cat (a regular occurrence in the area).
NOPE! I wound up joining in on a two hour "search and rescue" for a lost young girl.
The "Warrior" really did an excellent job of illuminating wide swaths of the park and because of that I spotted the dropped textbook that led us to the area where another guy spotted the girl. She had been coming home across the park, slipped on the edge of the path and BADLY hurt her ankle just before dark. She had given up trying to crawl home and was pretty much laying there crying in pain.
(Just FYI, she's fine now but she did fracture her ankle).
I don't think I'll try incorporating this into my "regular" review methodology but it sure was real-world!
