I was doing pretty good when I was 40, things did not start going South till I got hurt in 2001, but I am on the mend sorta. LOL
Happened again last night after my post. I couldn't get online an hour or so later.
Wow! They sound dangerous. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise finding out about them now?
I've had my fair share of breaks, fractures and cuts. I've been lucky, really.
I bought some more lights a few weeks ago. They are all from different sellers, but the same light...or so I thought. One seller's lights housing is metal. You press the actual lens to switch the light on and off and to change modes (constant, steady flash, pulse). The second seller's light is virtually the same, except for the fact that the outer casing is plastic as opposed to metal. The third seller's lights outer casing is metal, uses two coin batteries as opposed to one (as the others do)
BUT when the lens is pressed to switch the light on, the lens just pushes into the metal housing and gets stuck. I opened up the light and noticed that there is no spring that the electrical gubbins pushes against, therefore it gets stuck and does not return spring from the housing. Can't complain as I only wasted a few $'s.
