I think I accidently put my brass Peak Eiger thru the washing machine.
Am I screwed? (in terms of killing my light)????
HELP!!!!!

Is there water in it?
Did you open it up to look?
Like all electronics, take it apart, put it in a zip lock bag with dry uncooked rice for ~24 hours and try firing it up.
Most modern flashlights should be able to withstand a laundry cycle.
Good luck

haven't checked yet.I'll see when I get my clothes out of the washing machine.
It was in the pocket of my shorts.
The head was screwed on tight.

I use silica beads as a desiccant to remove moisture.. But rice is readily available. [emoji16]

Don`t switch it on!!!! just take the battery out, check for signs of water ingress and if there is any, soak it in pure 99%+ IPA and make sure it`s well flooded then let it dry naturaly.

Very unlikely anything is wrong with it. It's a peak. Fully potted. She'll be fine.

If my olight s1 can survive multiple washing's I'm sure that peak eiger is enjoying it like a fat bearded dude in a hot tub. (Me)

That's no good for the battery.
The Peak should be fine.

If the light did what it was designed for that battery should be dry and fine😁

Battery won't have a drop of water on it near it or around it if it was screwed together right.
I would check for water ingress into the optic. Barring that, dry it off and keep using it.
