Is there a red "traffic wand" adapter for SRK/Meteor sized lights? (solved)

Hey guys I need a red wand thing like this:

but for a Meteor (or maybe an SRK)

Prefer squishy, but hard plastic will do.

Do you know of one?

Traffic wand for a “soda can” flashlight such as an SRK or meteor…?

Here you go :smiley:

Seriously though, a mini traffic cone would likely work. I’ve seen them in red too. Just be sure it’s a cheap one, made of plastic not semi-hard rubber like full size cones and some better quality mini cones.

You’re really not likely to find an actual traffic wand of the proper size intended for a soda can flashlight. Your other option would be to make one. Find a cheap clear plastic cup that fits your light and add a layer of red tail-light repair tape.

I make my own all the time. Universal. Fits any size light. Any color and length you want. I just tape colored paper around the bezel. Roll up the paper one time, then fold the end/top. Works like a charm!

Should just buy a Maglite genuine wand. There is only a 2mm difference in bezel size between the SRK and the lights its designed for. There is no way it won’t fit.

Well you were right. After quite a bit of molestation, I Coerced it on.
It’s a real springy, memory plastic they used. Very strange. But very good for the application.

The light looks good, BUT far more important is what cheese & wine were you partaking & presumably enjoying?

The items are:

Noctigon Meteor M43 XP-L DD
Maglite C/D white traffic wand that was boiled in water and stretched to fit the m43
Yellow sunglasses cleaning cloth, cut to fit the m43 head, to fix the tint
a bottle of Kirkland Signature brand 2014 Cab Sauv California from Costco ( ~$8 for 1.5L… not very good.)
Gouda cheese, also from Costco, imported from Holland

I take it that because you are from Australia, the photo came through right-side up? :wink:

Yep, in Australia everything is upside down.

But our government is now implementing an App that will forcibly change all northern hemisphere countries & their inhabitants to our point of view...

Nice. A real traffic wand is so much better.
So the light is shining through a yellow sunglasses cleaning cloth in the picture?

yes, unfortunately this is a cell phone photo so its not obvious .

Excellent ! I forgot to mention to dip the bezel end of the cone in just-under-boiling water. But glad you got it on, thats the main thing :beer:
