The design may have something to do with ease of manufacture for Lumintop. I wonder if one of their other lights is similar enough to the design in the photos and instead of setting up tools and fixtures to make a light exactly as Fritz had envisioned it, they are going with their own designs.
At the tail it looks like theyâve cleared a groove for a slip-on clip. If that was merely the tailcap not fully screwed in the interior of the groove wouldnât be completely smooth. It would have threads and an o-ring slot near the top.
Iâm also not quite sure about the groove at the top of the picture. It looks like it has what might be an o-ring slot, but no threads. Did Lumintop just decide to put a decorative groove on booth ends and the light in their picture IS actually fully screwed together?
Oh for the love of baby jesus. Please tell me they arenât going to put a damn snap on clip on this light. That I think, would put a bunch of folks over the edge.
Taking a third look at the picture I now notice a decorative groove on both ends of the battery tube. The groove is the recessed area with raised ridge in the center.
Why do I think itâs a decorative and not just the light partially unscrewed? âŚ. the grooves have no threads in them.
Though maybe I am wrong and those are just slots for double o-rings. I donât think so though. If it was for double o-rings I would expect the same groove depth at both ends of the battery tube.
In addition to the decorative grooves, the bottom of the battery tube has a larger flat area just above the decorative groove that looks clearly designed for a slip-on clip.
Personally, I donât like this new look. Looks overly complex. I much prefer the previous prototype.
Really??
Or maybe you mean this is the case in the range above very low modes.
Very low modes like âmoonâ and âfireflyâ give relatively more blue, i guess the phosphor is not excited by very low levels of 450nm.
That is the coarsest threading I have ever seen on a light⌠or⌠possibly an o-ring slot and a slot for a snap-on-clip. If it does screw together and cover the two slots, that seems like wasted space.
Yup. If those actually are double-o ring slots, that would be good design.
However, at the tailcap, the upper ledge of the âo-ring slotâ seems like it would be too shallow to actually hold an o-ring. Screwing in the tailcap would push that o-ring out of position.
