AHHH!! I was induced in mistake by that part of “Neal sent me …” then the “pictures” with a sad smile :person_facepalming:
Sorry for misunderstanding and thanks for the explanation.
Thanks to the team for their hard work on this project. I’m a late comer to the party, but I don’t think I’d have the time or patience to pull this off. Glad someone does, though.
I’m not sure why the clip was changed, but I’m hoping it can be changed back. It looks like the clip ring sticks out now, and a dark coating of some sort was added, and there’s an extra hole. There’s a high chance it’s too late to change again though.
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.
