@Azmodius I have a PR as well and the front lens on mine rattles annoyingly. Do you have this issue and did you or others possibly find a replacent oring or lens to fix this?

I haven't had that issue. Have you talked to Chris about it?

"My thoughts are that the #1 reason for missed problems by technicians when checking their work is poor lighting. Not using a flashlight to "see" the problem, is risky, to say the least. I have noticed while out visiting shops that not having a small pocket flashlight is commonplace."

I am more impressed with lights that show use and still look good than some shelf queen.

I was a student when I started EDCing lights. Mostly because about 80% of classrooms has no windows, and the emergency lights don't work [all the ones I tested doesn't]. The parking lot lights are only bright enough to guarantee you won't walk into a car, or a tree, or a stop sign, but does little for security. During my time on that campus my EDC was a 3D Mag85 [9AA to 3D adapter+WA1185 lamp stuffed in a maglite] with a streamlight scorpion as backup.
When I graduated I worked as a public library assistant. Night shift. Not all rooms have lights. if working in a public place taught me anything, is not to lay your fingers on any surface you cannot readily evaluate whats coated on there. Back room's just got enough florescent lights working to tell you where the exits are, unless you wear steel toe boots your piggies will thank you if you would shine a light in front of them.
Now I'm a small office manager whose evening job doubles as janitorial services. Same ordeal, check for spills in the stalls, rooms, hallways. Look around the porcelain for signs of incontinence, bad aim. Need a light to see streaks on he porcelain, not just the walls. Check the windows, doors, etc.

I work in parts and equipment sales and I am always in a dark plant somewhere trying to look at equipment in dark corners, name plates of machines, or look up inside something etc so I always carry at least one light with me all the time. Usually an Olight S1R. ITs never let me down and the ability to put a few hundred lumens on something that needs lit up never ceases to amaze anyone that sees me do it from such a small light. I cary others in my SUV but the S1R is the one thats always with me. I also believe in keeping one for security reasons too in case I get caught out at night and need light

I use my lights while doing my fatherly duties. Every night when my 4 year old is ready for bed he goes to my collection and picks out which one he wants to use that night. Then I read him a bedtime story in the glow of the flashlight. I think he's addicted. Start em young right!?

Thats awesome trashman
Yep, must say that I too use my light mostly for my fatherly duties, checking up on the kids during the evening and night. Wife hates normal bedside lamps, so I also get the opportunity to use lights to read before falling asleep. Understandably, I need sub-lumen modes. Often end up using a zebra light or a peak eiger. Looking forward to receive the pre-ordered Reylight with 0,2 lumen as first mode.

Oh and let's not forget the classic shadow animals I can't turn a light on without my son jumping in front of me and making a crocodile or butterfly.
