Don't you dare take down even a single image! :tsk:

Great series of shots and really cool collection of lights. :thumbsup:

Our keychain lights seem to take the most beating (understandably so).

Wife's SL Nano:





Her "Worm" has held up surprisingly well:




Yes, my wife EDC's 3 little lights :twothumbs

Don't want to see this thread die out! Lets keep it alive guys

A couple of my bosses have SL Nanos which are so beat up that both are bare aluminum now.

Yes mine looks more worn that the one pictured above, and it took less than a year. It's now relegated to a drawer.

Hi everyone. First post here. I love threads like this so here's my contribution: An oldie but goodie Novatac 120T that I hacked and turned into a 120P(thanks to this forum):devil:. This light has been carried the past 4-5 years. Its been dropped and dunked yet never let me down. I still edc it....untill the Malkoff MDC I ordered shows up.

Just sold this one on the marketplace. It looked like this when I got it. Works great, just not my cup of tea.

It's not too awfully beat up, but the paint does show an awful lot of wear. The anodizing is only worn through in one spot, so not quite a beat up as a lot of lights, but it has been used a loaner on a couple camping trips so it's definitely seen a tumble or two. I'm not sure if I want to repaint it or just leave it.

Re: lets see your scratched up lights

Leave it!

I look at my V11Rvn and sebenza and see all the character they have from their tumbles , scratches , and dings. I love them more for having them and still outperforming the rest.

Re: lets see your scratched up lights

Agreed, leave it. I enjoy a nice used light - makes me not feel so bad if I drop it or otherwise scuff it up.

Re: lets see your scratched up lights

That too. I find I enjoy the light/knife /whatever, much more when I'm not babying it in fear of the smallest scratch

I wasn't babying my SC62d, but it looked really good after 2-3 months of use until last night. I went down on my motorcycle and scraped it up pretty good. It has strands of cotton stuck under the deformed fins. Still works fine.

Hope you are ok after the crash!

One of the best lights in the thread though!

Thanks. I look a little better than the light, but I'll heal.

Nice Battle Scars!! Now you have a story to tell when you use it :candle:

Hope the light got more road rash than you!!!

What a treat to see your torch. Thanks so much. One could say it spared you from getting some of the asphalt interaction. But did you get bruised by it?
