Should I do the glow epoxy in the slot or go with a small trit?
I just can't make up my mind between them.
Super bright for 2 hours followed by 8 more hours where I can plainly see it, or the same small glow for years to come reguardless of any light exposure?
I don't have any trits so I can't speak about it. My GITD is ultra green V10 from glowinc.com and the "super bright" is only in the first few minutes. The remaining hours is far from "super bright".
I have to say however, I'm impressed by the "dim" glow; when I wake up very early in the morning (while it's still dark) I can still see the glow. Obvoiously my eyes is accustomed to the dark.
I didn't have to purposedly expose the GITD to light; somehow the room lighting provide enough exposure.

Bring on the later, you could be asleep for the 8 hrs where it's super bright.

+1 for the tritium over the glow powder
I"ll be epoxying a trit in the old clip location on my L2 body when I get some time.
In this picture you can see that I replaced the "combat-ring" for a standard grip-ring and put a tritium vial in the area that was left open in my C2 body.....(far low right with blue trit)

Now that looks really nice! Thanks for the pic.
Perhaps I could just cut the lug off of my combat ring instead of buying something else and have trits in 2 places?
:twothumbs
I have given a thought to putting the trit vial IN the glow epoxy and having both options in 1. I'd have to lay down a base layer of V10 and devcon 2 ton then lay the trit halfway in it then after it dries I could fill in the rest of the depth with just clear epoxy.
Sounds good anyways!

I don't know enough about tritium or V10 glow powder... but would it be possible to put the trit in the V10/epoxy mix? If you left enough of it showing, you could still see the trit and the trit might also light up the glow epoxy...

If I were you, I would contact [FONT="]GenEric808[/FONT]; I purchased mine from him and he's very nice to deal with. I am guessing that he might have some factory-sealed ones laying around.

Re: Its official. I'm a C2-HA crack addict.....
Hey everyone I'm new to the board and I just picked one up after my friend showed me his and reading this thread. It's crazy how many mods there are for just this one light. But I was wondering, I know that someone asked this earlier in this thread but I didn't see a answer when I was reading so I wanted to know:
Is there a 2 stage clickie for the C2?

Re: Its official. I'm a C2-HA crack addict.....
No body makes a two stage switch with clicky for the C2, at this time. There is the UNIQ Continuously Variable tailcap switch from Lighthound (.com). I have one of them that I use with my C2. It is neat, ramping smoothly up and down. It also allows tail standing. Use google, CPF only, at the top of every CPF page, to search for more info on this switch. To add, it is made in what appears to be Type III anodize, natural, so looks fine on the Type III anodized C2.
Welcome to CPF. Question, have you been lurking on CPF prior to joining?

Thanks for the info and the welcome. I don't know if you consider it lurking, but I read a couple of pages on this thread after googling it and looked at some stuff a friend showed me using his login.
Why do you ask did I do something wrong?

No, just interested. You did nothing wrong. I lurked for months before joining CPF. I was a "closet flashaholic" messing with Mags, and then Surefires in the 1980's.

Cool cool. The C2 is my second light. I started with a L1D and it looks like the C2 won't be the last.

Received 2 brand new Malkoff M60's from the post office today. I now have 3 x M60's and a M60L.
One of the M60's will be going in a Surefire C2 I have on the way. Then I will have a total of 2 x C2's w/M60's. A great combination. Can't wait!!

Re: Its official. I'm a C2-HA crack addict.....
Here's what I've been playing with for the last few hours.
Bottled water caps
I made a P60/D26 module carrier with an empty film canister. Then an open ended illuminated bezel, and then the unmodified cap also fits on perfectly in the gap between the lens retaining ring and the bezel.
Lets it headstand and provide useful illumination too!
