Spy Questions

[easilyled]

Chronos, I often find that the rubber sole of a shoe works very well.
Just push the bezel against the sole hard and twist the light clockwise.

I know this is a really off topic question, but:

Do you guys think I'll get hassled if I carry my 007 in my carry-on aboard a plane?

Heading to Wisconsin tonight for a wedding and just cant seem to part with the little thing...

About that white and black bead...?

You can use them to open the battery compartment- compress the ball-bearing like thingy (technical term, lots of community college required to understand this technical jargon) to open the battery compartment.

:thumbsup:

Eh brah, its da kine to open da bottom of da case.

You shouldn't. I travel extensively (don't ask- I'm becoming "Daddy Who?" to my kids...) and have only had one issue with a Ti light in my jacket pocket. Was in Portland, Maine. The TSA agent pulled it off the belt after x-rays and asked the other TSA agent what it was. "A titanium flashlight" I explained. The other TSA agent said something like "yeah, it is one of those expensive custom jobs." Sort of surprised me. Then they wanted to see it in action, just for curiosity's sake.

Just make sure you put it through the x-ray machine and you should be fine.

Shouldn't a problem...TSA was more interested in the Ti bottle openers I had, and never asked about the 007.

My wife flies with her 005 all the time. Never a single question about it.

Dave....what about the easter egg's ???? how about a hint:naughty:

What does STFu stand for? :twothumbs

 

[tino_ale]

Question : what is the rating of the switch?

Well, I needed something to fit in with Wayne's product line. So, Super Tiny cool Fall microprocessor does the job.

The only new easter egg is how the light behaves in lock mode. You have probably already seen it.

Originally we called all the stuff in power-up-1 easter eggs as well.

Is there a smooth reflector availible for the 007, so you can get a bit more throw if needed?

 

[Data]

Question : what is the rating of the switch?

10,000 cycles at full current, however the switch has almost no current through it. ~100 uA or something. It should last for decades. Not a single switch has failed to date.

That would be a question for Don. I do not know of one myself.

 

[pauly]

Cheers Dave, i'm sure Don will let me know if there is. Lovin the 007, can't put it down!

 

[easilyled]

Data, will you be making another run of SPY007s (or any other all-titanium light) in the future?

If so, what time-frame do you have in mind?

 

[chipwillis]

Maybe a smaller run and some with the FROSTED finish.:twothumbs

 

[starfiretoo]

Did any special finishes go out in this batch?

Maybe a smaller run and some with the FROSTED finish.:twothumbs

 

[Data]

The only finish I currently make is the machined finish. I am in R&D with a new finish but so far it is not what I am looking for. So it is not an option yet and frankly I can't be certain when it ever will be.

I plan to make more 007 lights in the machined finish but the schedule is not set.

[starfiretoo]

Any word about the accessory rail options?
