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.
Yeah, I agree with you guys; the final result is pretty amazing. :+1:
These should make killer gifts for the right people who will put them to good use.
Regarding the GITD o-ring. What would the dimensions need to be? Roughly speaking.
I know 42mm OD x 1.5mm GITD o-rings are quite common (Fasttech for example) but they’re obviously too small for our purpose. I think So the Q8 head is 59mm but the body is 50mm? So would something in the 50mm ballpark work?
Edit: Looks like I forgot what the LT1 looks like and how large the head is. So something closer to 60mm is probably needed? Or even bigger?
One of the largest I found was a “50mm” GITD o-ring from crazy-factory.
Due note they’re sized to fit snugly on plugs of the stated size hence the quote marks on the size. It’s thickness isn’t listed either so it might be a 1mm jobbie which would a bit wimpy.
Just for shit’s and giggles, here’s something a bit chunkier, a GITD hood latch which dimensions according to the description are 50mm OD x 5mm.
If someone’s interested in those, looks like they’ve got a discount on their website. 3$ for 2 and 5$ for 4 (instead of 6.5$ for 4 on Ebay).
A bit too expensive for me as they come from the USA. 13-15$ for shipping, oof.
I like the sleek look of the first prototype, but the new design is probably more practical. It seems it should weigh a bit less and it’s nice how the handle can be folded in. It might make things a little weird for how I usually carry it though; I tend to loop the handle over two fingers. Not sure what to think about the bumper; will have to see it.
