If we could obtain all measurements reliably from hypothetical mathematics, there'd never be a need for any measurement devices. Even if they're not perfect, I'd use them over a mathematical equation making many assumptions, every time!
If you're in the habit of dropping lights, you might want to attach a wrist lanyard to the light and and loop the lanyard onto your wrist so that you prevent this from happening, otherwise it can become quite expensive!
Some more expensive custom lights that I'd have absolute faith in, in...
