What did you use your flashlight for today?

[ilikeguns40]

Somewhere on my old hard drive I have a picture of me standing waist deep in snow BBQ'ing while holding up a thermometer. It reads - 56*c (-63*C with wind chill) It was so cold I had to bring the propane tank inside for several hours to warm up before I could light the grill. I had to finish the steak inside on the stove because the tank froze faster than the steak could cook.

Were you grilling steaks in Antarctica? -63C is insane

Outside grillers (my son included) must be some of the nuttiest people alive. They have a perfectly good stove/oven in a climate controlled room, but they choose to go all pre-historic caveman and cook outside in the seasonal weather. Okay, I've had my days of camping with the Boy Scouts, but I count that as different. Grillers live in another world. Spend hundreds of dollars on grills and stand outside in all kinds of weather to do what they could do inside in comfort...gotta be some kind of mental aberration there. My son does it, and I just shake my head. I just don't understand it.

It's that smoky taste when done right. We never almost never go out for Steak dinners as my family says mine are superior.

This week but Today i used my Wurkkos FC13 to check the bores of the firearms i just cleaned from Saturday's target shooting fun. I would post a picture but i'm sure it's a no no. We will just use our imagination.

I'm not trying to one up you but when i was at Tech School at Chanute AFB we marched to school in -58 wind chill. The next day in -65wc. I think the number of frost bite cases we had, had classes canceled rest of the week. But we did not BBQ in it so you got me there. 😂

I, like some on here use my flashlight/flashlights to move about in my house. We have night lights here and there but on moon or low i can move about and not wake anyone. Especially the queen. I'm retired she still works and needs her sleep.
Honestly i use my light more than i ever thought possible. Now that i found this thread i will keep better record of usage.

Working on a 12' long shelf for my workshop, used my Nitecore headlamp to see the scribe line for my circular saw. Workin after dark on these short winter nights.

I used my Armytek Wizard Pro Warm to replace my sump pump tonight. That headlamp has been great for maybe (?) 10 years at this point. Not sure exactly how old it is. I installed a backup system several years ago that warned me about the main pump consuming more current than usual, so I preemptively replaced it. Everything seems to be good again now.

I'm really considering getting a headlamp as i can see how useful they can be. Wurkkos keeps giving me these 15-20% coupons??? I think it's a conspiracy!

I like these Sofirn D25L headlamps. 18650 with in light rechargeable option.

Yes they are amazing. It would have been super annoying to do that without a headlamp.

I ordered the Wurkkos HD15's. I consider the HD20 but seems a bit large to have on your forehead?
Got the 15% discount and free shipping so basically $26 each? That is the most amazing thing JMHO.
I will post here when i use them for a Miri mid of ideas i have floating around in my head.

Today a female coworker was making these comments about how I like flashlights too much and stick them in places. As she was doing so I unvelcroed my pouch pulled ouy my Securiled RC6-IV and was like yes in holsters. Some others thought it was funny.

Then I used it to trouble shoot a coworker's iPhone charging port and cleaned it out with a piece of a plastic fork.

I almost carried a 6P today but they aren't replacable so I opted for a Securiled which meets or exceeds it in functionality.

 

[tech25]

Used a ZL H600fc, Convoy C8, Malkoff MD2 M91N and ZL Sc600w to play outside with my kids in the snow.
Made it much easier to keep track of them surrounded by a circle of light from their own light.
Had a Manker MK39vn as backup.

Used my perun 2 mini to check if insecticides were frozen. Both the pest control technicians asked each other if they had a flashlight and I whipped out my lil light with the quickness 😂

"Whoa…. What's that light." Never seen one that bright for so small. And blah blah blah lol

seeing people looking down the rifling from the tip of the barrel just looks freaks me out.

Wizard C2 Pro Warm helped me with some wiring today. Old emergency lights are a rats nest.

That's why you always unload the firearm and check it 3 times to ensure it safe before you clean it. Lever action and revolvers are real hard to accidentally shoot yourself with. If done correctly IJS

There are lights and accessories for this.

Used my Malkoff M31W in a 2C (2AA Eneloops) Maglite to find the framing nail stuck in the middle of my tire while on vacation.

Light reflecting off my finger tip is all i need to check rifling.
