One of my co-workers had been building a deck with pressure-treated lumber last week, and had a strange, itchy lump on his arm, he had a feeling that he had a splinter, but couldn't see it through the skin....
i handed him my 6P with 120 Lumen P61 HOLA and he trans-illuminated the section of his arm with the bump, a rather large splinter stood out clearly under the skin....
so, i handed him my razor-sharp Kershaw Leek (with it's fine splinter-picker tip) and he was able to perform self-surgery and remove the splinter (actually two of them), had it not been for the 6P, he'd have been randomly cutting himself open hoping to find the splinter by chance.....
a good flashlight, and a nice sharp knife, always good things to have....
as an interesting comparison, we tried my G&P 3W equipped G2 first, but the LED just didn't trans-illuminate well enough, the P61-equipped 6P performed admirably....
he disinfected the Leek before handing it back, and the whole procedure went off without a hitch or any pain, thanks to the scary-sharp blade on the Leek....
