    Hi I have this light but when you turn it on if you release the button to quickly the light goes out and the green light on button goes out and then the light is locked in the instructions it says press the button for 8 secounds then it's unlocked I've tried that but still no light. The only way is to plug it into the USB socket to unlock it not very good

    I've been full immersive waxing for 4 years now so I know what you say is true. Hopefully you are not still using the pan for heating the wax. A slow cooker / crock pot gives better temperature control and you will not heat the wax too fast and risk damaging it. I think you will find the Zero Friction Cycling youtube channel useful, if you've not already discovered it ? Since you already have waxing experience , I will start you off part way through the current video at ruclips.net/video/ZEfi2HOfqpM/видео.html . I get an unintended mention in the last section of that video. I guess he wanted to give me a surprise ! Adam Kerin also has a site containing guides for chain prep , master link guides etc , the link for which is on the main YT channel page.

      I will be the first to admit I'm no Kobe fan, but what you said is factually incorrect. Per the NTSB report any pressure to fly was self-induced: apnews.com/article/basketball-transportation-kobe-bryant-california-us-news-7f18e94df85ae188cf2bc68c98ad0e73 "The board said it was likely he felt self-induced pressure to deliver Bryant to the destination."

      Lorraine Garcia --Neither Bryant nor any passenger shares in the blame for the accident. The pilot alone makes the decision to fly. Moreover, Bryant wasn't in a position to assess the conditions for flight anyway. He naturally, and reasonably, trusted the pilot's judgment.
