Well…Curiosity got the better of me and I just had to know since I was planning to use it somewhere wet. I tried dunking the light into a pail of water to find out, good thing I had half a brain to take out the batteries and use distilled water. I saw bubbles coming from the handle’s mounting point and quickly took it out of the water. Upon inspection, I was amazed by how much water had gone in with the brief amount of time underwater. I disassembled everything, tail-cap, contacts board, heads, lens, reflectors and found out that water came in from the mounting point into the hole where the wires of the switch goes into the body. I dried the components with a hair dryer and used a microfiber cloth for the heads, lens, and just the outside of the reflectors for fear that I might scratch them. After everything was dry and leaving it open for 2days, I reassembled, put in batteries and it fired right up. As far as I can tell, there is no damage to the light and it’s components. Brightness and function is still the same after comparing it to my other terminator.
I’d just like to confirm to everyone that this Nitecore holster is a PERFECT fit for the Terminator.
Also, at $10 delivered it’s good value as it’s a very well made holster. Doing Outdoor Nitecore Holster
Sorry, not very good at this caper, so my images are a funky size.
I’m particularly impressed with this holster because the base of the torch fits perfectly into the base of the holster, so no baggy bits. The neck of the holster around the torch is perfect. Tight enough to need a wee wiggle just to coax it in, but not that tight you need 2 hands. Also, my favourite bit lol, the velco strips marry-up perfectly too! No rubbish overlaps!
No problem squire
You’re as fast at ordering as I can be with photos sometimes haha :bigsmile:
Oh yeah, and just so you know, mine took 1 day from ordering to dispatch, then only another 10 days to get to Scotland. Pretty impressive
Thanks denbuc ordered one aswell.By the way i took the handle off mine and sealed the hole where the wires from switch enter head ,used non acetic silicone.
It was another member that tried the dunking test and noticed bubbles coming from around the handle,so i thought i had better seal it.Sorry i cant remember which member it was.
