Re: 5MM LED AAA Light Challenge - Sunwayman, Nitecore, Klarus and Fenix duke it out
Don't forget the DIY EMP test: 60 seconds in the microwave at full power.

This procedure is also very good for testing flashlights with a hidden
Fire-On-A-Stick mode.
On a more serious note, I'm very impressed that the Sunwayman light still works after falling open inside a rock tumbler!
Thanks - the microwave test is awesome, but I'm gonna pass on that one! Well, we have updates. The Rock Tumbler Torture Test is over. Would you want to spend 20 hours constantly bumping into 1 inch triangular ceramic media? Along with 3 other flashlights?
The Sunwayman didn't make it. I think perhaps the ease with which the head turns - great in daily use - allowed the head to come off too easily in the tumbler and alas, something important was ground away. But I seriously doubt that the lights would encounter anything even close to this! And it did survive the first time the head came off....
Here's a video of the unveiling!
Here are a number of photos after the 'clean up.' (A more thorough clean up will happen shortly in the dishwasher... :devil
The battery that fell out of the Sunwayman..
Here's the Sunwayman - multiple views
Here's the Klarus - more and more impressed with this little light.
Good view of the 'reflector' - talk about the 'treatment!'
The Fenix - continues to be the "cockroach of flashlights"
And the Nitecore T0 - I suppose you can say that the stainless head has been thoroughly stone washed!!
And finally, the gang. Do you suppose they feel a sense of camaraderie? Do you suppose they miss their brother, the Sunwayman? After all, they've been through a lot together!
Bwahahahahahaha!! On to the dishwasher! Then the freezer! Then the oven! Then the brick wall tests! Who will survive?! (Can you tell that I'm having just a bit too much fun with this?)
