I have posted how much I like my two LGI's Mr. Bulk was kind enought to build for me.
The Brinkmann 3AA is long enough to stick out of my pants pocket, though, whereas my Badboy Legend 2AA and 500 mA ARC LSS don't.
Charlie, himself, talks about care in shipping and handling so "the skinny little stick" doesn't bend or break.
Well, the Romans knew what to do with sticks to make them physically stronger and more powerful -- they invented the fasces.
I used a C-clamp to hold the bodies of both LGI's as parallel as possible with the bezel rubbers touching. I then built a yoke connecting the exposed aluminum parts of the body together by squeezing and hand-shaping QuikAluminum epoxy putty between the flashlights. So far it seems that I won't need to reinforce the bond with hose clamps, etc.
The resulting 2-headed double barrelled LGI is shorter and thinner than an Energizer DB4AA. It's very comfortable to hold and thin enough to fit just as comfortably in my pocket as a single LGI. The end caps are far enough apart to allow easy removal, battery replacement, and operation of one or two lights at a time.
Now, if I had a THIRD LGI... It wouldn't fit as comfortably in my pocket, but the LGI Triceratops wouldn't be much bigger around than a Dorcy Boss 4AA.
