Idea then: two good deep grooves, one at the head (is already there in between fins ) and one at the tail, that makes it easy to strap paracord around as attachments.
Edit: I see now that the tail of the prototype already has an attachment point.
Ah I thought you meant grommets inside the holes for attaching the straps, but yes the holes are there already, how th ring at the tail is assembled exactly and if it can be used without it (maybe creating a groove) we don’t know, the pics of the CAD were not showing enough details for that
On my hellfighter, which is only slightly bigger than the TN42, it is 5mm.
And this light is already overbuilt.
8mm would just be a huge waste of space and metal.
Nope ;).

Yes, we first made a design of the body but that was already done (mostly) before we even had a final reflector dimension.
After that I’ve changed that existing design so it would fit the dimensions of the reflector, those dimensions where: ID of 120mm with a wall thickness of 2mm. (snug fit at the top, I left more room for the rest so that lumintop/the manufacture can beef up the reflector).
So as I said earlier: “Yes but remember, the body was designed to fit the reflector.”
Meaning, we designed the head to hold a 120mm ID reflector with the corresponding height.
Now, they have made the head first and now the reflector will be made to the head which is designed to the reflector.
You following? :smiling_imp:
Just kidding around, Enderman!
. @wall thickness:
Some dimensions and calculations (taken from the cad design in my program): Outside diameter of the head itself = 134mm (5.275 inches). Meaning, 134mm - 120mm = 14mm - 4mm (2x 2mm thickness from reflector wall) = 10mm / 2 = 5mm wall thickness of the head. (from outside to ID of reflector = 7mm)
The strap connection at the head can be seen here:
