Missing Flashlight

my inova radiant flashlight arrived and then promptly disappeared. i don't know where it went. oh, woe is me. :( have you ever gotten a new toy, just and lost it the next day? so annoying!

i only got to play with it a day really, and was about to take some beamshots and post them on here for all the world to marvel at. alas it was not to be. hopefully it will turn up soon around the flat and didn't jump out of my pocket while out and about.

anyway, it was a pretty good torch. very bright, with a white hotspot with a slightly dimmer corona. the polycarbonate casing had soft svelte feel to it. would it take much of a pounding? i'm not so sure. the inova x5 range are much tougher and built for more rugged use. the radiant is definitely a handy flashlight to have around the house, and best of all it takes 2 aa batteries which are so handy to pick up from almost anywhere.

what have you loved and lost?

Radiant Shopping

i bought another flashlight. don't look at me like that. i deserve it. you would too if you had dealt with the narky customer. this time it's an inova radiant torch. unlike the inova x5 the radiant takes 2 aa sized batteries. it also has a plastic body so it's cheaper than the x5 models. the body also has a squarish shape at the bezel end that should prevent it rolling away. will let you know how it works out when it arrives.
there nothing quite like spot of retail therapy to banish the darkness. :)
