I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids.

I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house.

My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”.

Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them.

The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).

      I think I need to clarify in Sweden mosquito spirals with Raid have been banned since 2009 or so.

      Spirals without raid are shit.

        @Tuss I think they’re shit too, the effective ones were probably banned in France too. Maybe for the better, being highly toxic things burning in close proximity to people. Non-“volatile chemical” solutions may be a better option.
