Dorcy 1AAA \"mouth-light\"
I don't really like holding a flashlight in the mouth.
If I was prepared I'd rather use a headlight.
But when out with just one's EDC's like the outdoors experience I recently posted:
Dorcy 1AAA Outdoors
To get easy hands free holding the flashlight in the mouth is quick, easy and convenient.
Now I wondered why the Dorcy 1AAA just seemed to be better at this?
Was it the rubber insert that I could "bite" on - I used the lips wrapped over teeth hold?
No, I eventually figured out it was because the light was light (pun) and small -
but more importantly the light is small enough that one could "bite" near the balance point (center-of-gravity) so that the light doesn't weigh/press down as much as a bigger light which would not be balanced in the mouth......
for example to use a well known light that lots of people have - the 2AA MiniMag is positively unpleasent to hold in the mouth in comparison - and I see a lot of people doing that with the MiniMag.......
Like I said I still don't like using a mouth light - but the Dorcy 1AAA makes it less UNpleasent.
