flashlight 2 D cells "super heavy duty" eX-cell 48 cents for two! Guesses: Rob: 45 minutes Leif: 4 hours 8pm to 2am Saturday night 6 hours pretty impressed that it was still giong the next day. 10am to 1 am Sunday night 15 hours 8am to 1 am Monday night 17 hours 8am to 10:30 Tuesday night 2:30 40:30 hours, until useless pinpoint of light, nearly impossible to read by. 7 hours of glowing wire dim at 8pm, brown circle of light 33 hours, but enough to read by. Wouldn't want to have to use it to find a lost contact lens though. Both Ken and the Dental assistant wanted to turn it off for me. Guy at Carl's Jr. too.
