What did you use your flashlight for today?

[TPA]

Story of my life; fixing other installer's laziness and ineptitude!

Really sucks when the last guy in was yourself too.

Yeah, we've all been there, once. Only once.

Ended up in the hospital with GI issues. Because this is always on my hip I have the McGizmo 1.5v to see the TV remote.

Carry On!

Hell, I wound up in the hospital because my bike mechanic screwed up the installation of my pedal clips —
and I am my bike mechanic.
I was going to sue myself, but I settled out of court.

You could have easily won if you entered a plea of insanity.....

Or possibly self-defense. I had to incapacitate myself, to prevent me from
Injuring me.

Lumintop Tool 2.0 Nichia was used to help me hook up a new HDMI cable to my Samsung S32D850 LCD monitor.

My guess --

Bright Star Industrial,
with 2-D cells and a PR-2 bulb

I'd say no.... But only because I actually own that very flashlight. It's literally sitting in the trunk of my car as I type this. Looks nothing like it.

Did it even come in black?


The light in the picture sort of looks like a stinger at a quick glance.

Went on another dog walk with my brother and his pug yesterday evening. The tan S2+ (519A 5700K) I was carrying on about 10% power was fantastic for lighting up the unpaved road ahead of us and avoid any patches of soft mud from the rain of the previous night. Actual water puddles are obvious even in the dark, but with the rust-red dirt that we have around here, damp mud is not as obvious.

I also tried my 3500K S21A (also 519A) that I'd forgotten in the pant pocket before going out, but it didn't do as good a job. The color of the soil meant there was next to no contrast against the dirt and mud. It's a great light for buildings, foliage and so on, but not for this specific use case. The 4000K of an FC40 is the warmest I can go for walking dirt paths.

I used my convoy t6 to check the basement for leaks tonight. No signs of water penetration. The local storm water lake about 250 yards from my house rose at least 3 feet over the last 2 days. There is flooding all over the province and several places have declared a state of emergency. I will add photos tomorrow once my phone is charged.

 

[ghostguy6]

As promised here are the photos. The water level had already dropped by about 2 feet when I took the photos

This one shows the original water level (taken by someone else)

These show the current water level. ( after a about a 2 ft drop). The water was up to the top of the retaining wall and the benches were totally submerged.

This is the original water level. ( taken by someone else)

This is the current water level, again after about a 2 ft drop already. Notice the island is now only trees and the grass field is totally gone. This image was taken from the other side of the island but you get the idea.

Part of my nightly routine at my 3rd Shift job is pouring water from my very large water-bottle into a significantly smaller one. Every night at work. Night before last, I do my thing. Water doesn't seem to be reaching the top of the bottle. Something feels wrong. I stop, pull out my Lux-Pro 2AA flashlight. Shine it into the opening. I'm about an inch away from where I usually stop pouring. I finish up, put the water-bottle away.

Just seemed weird it took so long that night. BTW, I was just testing the Lux-Pro. Bought two of the very same model. One worked for a short while, then stopped. Completely broken. Didn't even drop it on the ground. Testing out her twin to see if she pulls the same crap on me.

I have a Malkoff flashlight next to the stove that I use a dozen times a day to look into the oven (oven lights suck) and to see what is in the food cabinets in the back. :D

Currently using the M21F with diffuser as a desk lamp. The M21H I typically use is currently charging.

Zebralight H54 Fc N was used to help me hook up my new-to-me Pioneer BDR-207DBK blu-ray burner.

Having your hands free makes a big difference.

Again I used my Convoy t6 to check for leaks in the basement. The lake has risen another 3 feet since the last photos I took.
