Yesterday I had rode my bike to an appointment I had for narrow band UVB light therapy for a skin condition I have. I'm required to get undressed to my boxers before I enter the both and was in there for 1 minute and 43 seconds. When I got out, I smelled something burning. Not something you want to smell coming out of what's essentially a specialized tanning both. I hurry and get dressed so I can let someone know of the smell. I get my pants on and immediately feel burning on my leg, so I quickly pulled my light out of my pocket. There it was, on turbo with smoke coming off of itf! What the ****?!?! It smelled horrible.
Turns out the ******* light actually burned holes in my 5.11 Taclite Pro's pocket. I know the label for them says they are a poly/ cotton blend, but that might not be for the pockets. Regardless, the melting point for polyester fabric is 482 degrees! Does this light not have temperature protection?
This isn't the first time the light had gotten turned on in my pocket either, but I've noticed it right away. Anyone wise have this problem with this light? It's a bad*** light, but damn, I'm too scared to carry it again.
