Exactly…. :+1: … I doubt any of the places I mention above will have GITD that big though . They will most likely have black, green, & red… with an outside chance of blue & clear.
Hopefully someone will find GITD though…… for the coolness factor. :sunglasses: .
I’m a little doubtful about the usefulness of the o-ring. Being “rubber”, it will be prone to catch a cloth and roll out of the groove and if the LT1 fall of its height it will be probably too soft to amortize it. Anyway, will see.
The rest looks really good.
Well, a good anodize layer is generally pretty tough already. The o-ring or “bump ring” isn’t going to protect from severe damage from abuse or long falls, but it should be enough to help with short falls and tip-overs.
I don’t know, that’s a good question. If the powder will mix with silicone you could mix it up & load it in a large syringe, then apply it in the groove for a more permanent bumper.
That would work I think.
Edit:
Best I recall silicon caulk has about a 15 minute window befor it starts to ‘skin over’. That should be enough time.
Should be completely dry in 24 hours…. unless the addition of GITD powder changes any of that???
Its there for added bumper protection when tipped over or knocked around, ( to help protect the anodized aluminum head from dings & chips. Lanterns get clunked around a lot at camps. Also it adds to the look and customization for colors, and it wont cost any more than without it. ( it was suggested by a few members of adding the rubber o-ring a month or so back.
I’m considering gifting too. With the relatively low current, built in charger, and cells running in parallel, this should be a safe light for people not too familiar with lithium cells.
