A few months back, I was left in the dark with my Scorpion. Seems anytime it was dropped, I was replacing the bulb and this motivated me into the SL Twin Tasks. Now that I have these, I haven't figured out what to do with the Scorpions, suggestions?

Put another bulb in it and try to sell it on the B/S/T forum! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Stop dropping things!

But if you can't...
-Leave in car as backup
-Leave in nightstand drawer for those bumps in the night
-Put in home emergency prepardness kit (you have one of those ... don't you?)
-Put in tool box, first aid kit, etc...

BTW - I carry the scorpion as an EDC.

Aren't there rumors of an LED version coming out? Maybe the LED module could retrofit into the incan. Scorpion.

Otherwise sell it. (There are people like ME that have this on their wish list.)

I enjoyed using the Scorpions...I felt the run times and bulb sensitivity became an issue. After heating up the bulb, just about any sharp jarring would kill it and it didn't have to be hard.

One instance when I was cleaning the holder contacts, I removed the bulb and it dropped 3" onto my desktop. When I put it back in, it was dead.:(

Any input on what is a fair price if I opt to put them in the B/S/T section?

Thanks.
