The clip won't stop me, but I won't be happy about it, if I ultimately receive lights with clips like the one pictured most recently. A shame; nobody told them there was anything wrong with the clips.
I’m not a clip guy, they don’t matter much to me, but that one doesn’t look good. For those that like them, I hope those pictures don’t represent what you will get. The others looked much better, and I can’t fathom what prompted the change, so late in the game.
It could be used for a lanyard, but… there’s already another hole for that, and the other one is in a better place.
If anything, I get the impression it was probably added just because some other clips have a hole there. But it’s not a good place to put a hole. It doesn’t significantly decrease weight, but it would significantly increase the chance of snagging while trying to clip the light onto something.
Remember, lest we forget; the episode of a couple weeks ago. It was based on pictures.
Maybe (hopefully), just maybe (fingers crossed while hoping); that is the case with these pictures. Maybe they were not the most current picture or, if they were; maybe the clip “color” is not as bad as it appears. However, no mistaking the hole.
The illustration on the boxes in the recent photos also show a hole in the clip. If they’ve already printed all the boxes it seems like the clip decision may be final.
I know this was answered, but i don’t remember the answer; if the clip ring sticks out from the body of the light, or is in some other way undesirable, can it be removed? Will the light function without it? I would personally prefer just an O ring in the gap to that clip.
In fact, here is tatasal’s post saying it was Titanium Grey. Hopefully…… LT has not gone rouge since that time & changed it. And yep…. the ‘hole’ leaves much to be desired.
