Hi Fred,

They are very nice and so small:naughty:.

Is it possible to ship only the sleeve made of PEEK?

Dirk,

I wish that were the case, but, no, the space for the PEEK sleeve has to be machined into the battery tube, to make it a permanent installation, and just to even fit well so that the battery will slide in and out as it should. So please send them back, sorry.

Hi Fred,
Sorry to hear about the problems with the LPK
Mine arrived today, but alas also DOA

No worries though,
I'm also shipping it back today for the reverse polarity converter option :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Great customer service! Just a little bump in the road. I look forward to picking one up when everything is ironed out. Might be the only light that could kick my arc aaa off my keychain.

It has been said before but here is some clear evidence of a
domestically-designed and manufactured US of A product where the honesty and integrity of the designer/builder shines and the pride in workmanship is once again evident. This the epitomy of a stand behind your product manufacturer. Thanks Fred, for rekindling the confidence!:twothumbs

[Chief-Yeah]

Mine is on it's way back for an overhaul. I'll wait on the reverse polarity board on mine.

Thanks!

Mine shipped back this week. I put a note in the package re: PEEK sleeve and solder blob. I don't really want to wait (or pay extra) for the reverse polarity business. Thanks, Fred.

Mine shipped thursday. Since I was in a hurry I forgot to include a note. I sent it back for a PEEK sleeve as well.

UPDATE RE PEEK SLEEVE OPTION

After a bit of trial and error, I believe that I've got the fitting of the PEEK sleeve under control--and I only ruined one battery tube doing so.

Here is the PEEK sleeve, by itself inside the battery tube. The 357 battery now slips in and out pretty easily. Note that the top edge of the sleeve has a bevel to it to facilitate the insertion of the battery:

And this is with the battery installed, showing plenty of clearance above the cell to provide isolation in any position of the cell withing the battery tube:

Now comes the very boring, no pun intended, job of reworking the 98 battery tubes to fit the PEEK sleeve, as well as the machining of the PEEK sleeves themselves.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the light doesn't flicker at all--it just turns on to full brightness at once.
