Nothing is more frustrating when you really, really need
your tactical flashlight and you find out that it’s not working anymore.
To
avoid being in this situation you have to make a routine where you look after
your tactical flashlight properly so it is always ready at a moment’s notice.
Always make sure all
dirt, dust, grime and water are wiped off of the outside case of the tactical
flashlight. Use a soft cloth and try not to dent or damage material. Check your
tactical flashlight to ensure that all threads on the body of the light and the
head are clean and dry.
Always check the battery compartment for signs of leakage or
corrosion. It’s best to remove and inspect the batteries after each use. Never
leave the batteries inside your tactical flashlight when you know you won’t be
using it for a long. Check the overall condition of the flashlight. Are there
any cracks or holes? Is the power switch damaged? For a quick fix use tape!
The condition of the glass over the bulb is also important.
Make sure to clean and polish it and check for any cracks. Don’t forget to
examine the bulb and LED itself. If there are any broken or discolored wires,
replace immediately. Do you have a lanyard on your tactical flashlight? If so,
check it for any frays and make sure I is secure. The cord is the only thing
holding your flashlight from falling.
Rust and corrosion can really damage your tactical
flashlight, so coat the outside of your flashlight with silicone grease when
you can. If you don’t use your tactical flashlight on a regular basis, wrap it
up in a soft cloth to protect it and store it somewhere safe.
Even if you don’t often use your flashlight, make it a habit
to check it and ensure that it is working properly. Maintaining your torch won’t
take a lot of time and effort. You will be thankful you looked after it when
you need it in an emergency and it works effectively!
