| 1206000 | 2011-06-01 02:51:00 | Husband just bought another. It's apparently very good - according to the box it's "Explosion-Proof". |

| 1206001 | 2011-06-01 02:59:00 | :lol: Does it say how big of an explosion is can withstand? I still love my Fenix LD40. dropped it into the sea a while ago, could see the light about 3m down on the bottom - swam down and got it, still works perfectly. :D |

| 1206002 | 2011-06-01 03:27:00 | If it is truly explosion proof it means that any spark from the switch will not ignite gases on the outside of the torch. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 1206003 | 2011-06-01 03:33:00 | Right, that makes a whole lot more sense. Good for use in coal mines, yeah? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1206004 | 2011-06-01 03:34:00 | Good for the torch maybe, but not good for you if it happens :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1206005 | 2011-06-01 03:46:00 | Perhaps he will be able to use it to find his unbreakable phone. :) | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1206006 | 2011-06-01 03:53:00 | Speaking of explosion-proof lights, I bought one of these (armytek.com) the other day - best light I've ever owned. Note 2:40 in this video (www.youtube.com) (shows what happens when the light is shot at) - I'd consider that passing the field-test with flying colours, not every flashlight could handle that kind of abuse! Edit: I didn't buy it for the durability (though there's no denying it's pretty bulletproof), I bought it because it's programmable, has outstanding regulation and power management, and has one of the best UIs I've ever found in a flashlight :thumbs:. |

| 1206007 | 2011-06-01 04:20:00 | What sort of bullet only knocks the light about .5m? | PaulD (232) | ||
| 1206008 | 2011-06-01 04:24:00 | What sort of bullet only knocks the light about .5m?The sort that causes the light to hit the tree about .5m away. A tree like that will stop most objects the size of a flashlight, even flashlights that have just been shot at. | Erayd (23) | ||
