Everything looks good but how long is the wait until we can purchase this light?
This just in : Nude Gnu’s in the News!
You know the manufacturer has fallen behind when we, at the flashlight forum, are forced through sheer boredom to consider nude gnu’s. Just sayin…

Firelight2:
TK reported that she was getting odd behavior from her prototype sample until she inserted a piece of paper between the inner and outer tube.
Sounds to me like just anodizing between the two layers might not be enough. Maybe it would be better to redesign the tube to be 1mm thicker and then add a thin plastic tube between the 2 metal tubes. That’s how Liteflux did it in their LF2XT years ago, and it worked perfectly.
I can be wrong on this, but hasn’t a prototype not a thin oring between the tubes on the head side?
Thougt I read about it on the Taschenlampen-Forum. Would be a cheap elegant solution to keep them in place.

That could work. But I’d think you’d need 2 o-rings. One at each end of the battery tube to insure that the inner tube floats away from the outer tube at all points. You would also need slots in preferably the inner tube to keep the o-rings in place. I’m not sure the inner tube is thick enough for o-ring slots.

Better would be a thin shrink-wrap like the ones used on 18650’s.

put me down for 1 please.
Yes, the tail has an O-ring between the two tubes. Perhaps the front end should too… if there’s a way to actually get a thin enough one in place.
Fritz took his prototype apart. It apparently also works with rubber boots.
I try to check TLF from time to time, but there is usually not much nude gnu news. Instead, I find other funny things to read:

Please update quantity to now be a total of 2 for #965 StevenK (I believe that is the #)
Thanks,

There are o-rings plenty thin enough. And for such a thin o-ring, not much of an indent in the tube should be needed to hold it in place. But, I still think it’s not the best solution. Then again, I’m not an engineer by trade, nor a machinist.
No news is bad news, but in this case, I think people dropping off the radar for months is just
old gnus.

With the inner tube design. It would be possible to bore some holes in the outer tube.

No. The current design has waterproofing, which is probably not worth sacrificing for some tryptophobia-inducing aesthetic changes.

But why ?
Not a good look, costly, and compromises everything the tube is supposed to do. Bizzare idea.
