Re: Are Twisties All Backwards?
Sorry but your logic here doesn't logically make sense to me. I mean why is there a righty tighty rule? We screw a screw into a wall and we screw the screw to the right. The screw is the piece that we are moving. It is the piece that we are manipulating. We wouldn't turn the wall to screw the screw in, just like we shouldn't turn the body of a light to turn the head in. The head is smaller. The body is the body. Do you turn your entire body to turn and speak to someone next to you, or do you just turn your head? That is an example of physical efficiency.
Also, you prove my point. "It's the way threads work." Exactly. It's how threads should work. But when using a flashlight, its backwards! Therefore, when manufacturing flashlights, they should make the threads work the other way. And no one is tailstanding their light and turning the head on. These are keychain lights typically. My Revo can't even tailstand! They are on keychains. They are intended to be operated with one hand.
Of course you can change your perspective, but that's not the point! The light should work the way its supposed to for its intended purpose, intuitively! Not by positioning it in an unrealistic manner to make it seem natural.
To me it still follows the simple righty tighty method. The head of the light is the nut and the body is the bolt. Depending on how its facing it may seem backwards but still follows the same rules. Take a bolt and face the open end away from you and thread a nut on it, same way a twisty works. I don't feel its backwards at all, just the way threads work.
Exactly. Tailstand the body and thread on the head. Report back with what direction you turn the head on. Im gonna say to the right, clockwise.

But we don't tail stand the body when we use it one-handed - to turn it on.
