I’ve been thinking about buying a new ZL sc63w. The “subaru” styling of this light made me think it’d be a good candidate for some wrapping. Not wanting to add too much mass or size to the light or look too gaudy, I thought of this stuff. It’s generally used as abrasion resistance on hoses and wires, so it should be durable. Also, should allow the light to “breathe” a little while keeping it cool to touch.
I’m buying some and will report how well it works. Just sharing the concept here as others may find it useful.
While I agree with this concept, I don’t know the level of impact this would have in practical terms. How many of us, while using a light for serious work, actually hold the light in a way that provides significant surface area for transfer? Especially on hotter running lights, I know I have the tendency to find the coolest hand position (therefore the one with least heat transfer). There’s an off chance that this material can act as enough of a thermal barrier to promote better hold positions that counteract the negative properties……
Sh. It’s time for sleep.
PS Halo, thanks for the cheaper link! I can’t believe my cheap arse didn’t look there first…
