The head diameter is pretty close to the E01, and reportedly you can use a chapstick cap as a diffuser on that light. That will probably reduce the lumens more than a dedicated diffuser, but in a pinch, it should be an option.
I think that given the price point of about 6 bucks. I would easily take 2 or 3 of these. I’m not the biggest fan of twistys now that there are so many side switch lights. But I think that for the few dollars they cost, they wild make back up, back up lights, glove box lights, tool box lights and gifts.
As said above, there’s holes in the tail of the light to put put a magnet and/or a titium vial in yourself, but neither is provided. The reflector will not be further polished. The polishing idea was way more relevant for the design idea to make the reflector parabolic than it is for the simple cone that is the final shape, you will probably see no positive effect of polishing in the current design, or even worse, it may introduce beam artefacts.
But you make me wonder what stops you going to work with a AAA-twisty with trit installed?
Could be something more reasonable like he’s working around sensitive measuring equipment. There has to be some medical scanners you should not have that stuff around.
Nuclear power plant. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of Hydrogen, and could set off sensitive monitors in certain locations. And since literally everything is taken very seriously, in the name of nuclear safety, then setting off or causing a monitor to alarm could be a big deal.
Thanks for the info guys. The question on reflector polishing was just a curiosity, I see that it may not help, but rather potentially cause some adverse effects.
Haha, you guys are funny! I used to also keep one of those tritium vials on my keychain, but not anymore. Now I’m wondering what the myths and paranoia are all about? I guess side discussions are okay if we are just waiting on updates…
Sofirn is trying to make it before 11.11 which is known as double eleven deal day on aliexpress! I believe 5-6 weeks before Christmas is long enough to arrive.
