Went on a weekend camping trip down a pretty rough track here in the
Pilbara. Seems I may have had one of my 240 blitz wound out a little bit far (Lightforce does recommend to wind them in on rough tracks) and basically the light unwound off the mount. I was none the wiser but we were travelling with other vehicles and when we pulled up I was presented by the following vehicle with my 240 blitz in various pieces, I’d obviously run over it when it fell. I threw it in the back of the car thinking it was basically stuffed, but when I got
home I had a closer look at it. The protective cover was still intact and basically not a mark on it. The lens had popped out of the casing and was still in one piece but now had some small imperfections in it. The reflector and casing had one large crack from the edge running back towards the middle of the light. I looked at it and thought I can probably get all this back together, so I put the lens back with the reflector, pushed it all inside the back cover, put the protective clear cover on the front which held it all back together, wound it back on the mount, hey presto, good as new.
Well not quite as the reflector obviously has a large crack in it which gives some funky light patterns but for all intensive purposes it’s still probably 90% the light it was which is pretty good after being run over.
