Total dead weapon mounted lights: 0/4
Total dead handheld lights found: 0/5
Total dead safe lights found: 1/3
The IKEA “Dioder” motion activated LED light died again. That thing chews through six AAA batteries very quickly. I replaced the batteries in April of this year. Accounting for an average of 4 activations a day (the light activates on open and closing), alkaline batteries go from 100% to 0 in 8 months, roughly 1000 activations.
I’ve purchased some rechargeable batteries to take the sting out of the battery drain.
How’d you do this month?
