True, but for making use of such formally proper calculation we would need specific values for a given scenario. When we just want to find out if it’s even close to floating, it really is that easy. More liters than kilograms and it will float in lake water. Less; it will not.
Of course it’s not anything like a diving light so the light being even somewhat close to a density of just 1 (kg/dm^3) is just an interesting observation, not that much of a feature. Still interesting though; other heavy duty aluminum lights of more typical smaller size are much heavier per volume.
It is indeed a very interesting discovery. With a little bit of shaving on some spots we could have had a flashlight that wouldn’t only be a king of throw but it would also float . That would be a real selling point!
Realistically though, that would require a lot of aluminium being removed as these numbers were all without the batteries and carriers installed…
Well. I did asked it a couple days ago but didn’t got any response it. Neal was very busy that time (I hope is now enjoying his personal time!) so he could easily missed that question.
Some would think that because we see only these boxes that the 2 box shipment consists of 2 of these boxes each with halve of the GT inside it?
I have some good news! The first 170 GT’s are shipped today! The rest will be shipped continuously, so the GT’s are on its way! Merry Christmas to you all from Lumintop!
