I would definitely like to follow up on this stronger clip. I forgot to remove my lanyard as I intended and discovered the exact same problem this weekend whilst camping with my M2X.Hey all,
I agree the previous clip design aren't too strong. We have stronger clip available. I can send some away if you need one.

Although I generally like the light, I have to agree with you on this issue. The seal has already been snagged by the battery holder and I had to loosen the four screws and reinstall the seal.And the whole battery tube is held in one piece by four tiny screws which cannot even be tightened properly, because this will squeeze the seal into the battery compartment.
This is a serious engineering mistake.
I'm thinking of putting some black electrical tape on the corners to soften it a bit. There's no reason to make the corners so sharp.Ergonomics also is not thought out. Battery tube/handle is too short and rear click tailcap has "wings" that make holding the flashlight quite uncomfortable.
Not here. In fact, this light has thee most neutral looking beam of all my lights. This could be partially due to the fact that it's a multi-emitter light.Has anyone noticed a tint shift in the R2 cool white version. I'm not certain, but it seems that mine has shifted toward a more greenish tint than when I first got it. When I first got it, I compared the beam to my only other decent light, a Fenix LD2 Q5, and I didn't notice a huge color difference, but now it seems pronounced.

maybe some of you guys got a rare lemon - but IMO this light (ok its not perfect) is one of the best lights I have bought to date - its one of the if not brightest in its class https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/232725
Have to agree with you on that - and it could be an easy fix by just making a new 3 gang battery tube that screws on in place of the old one - heck we'd even pay for it - so it would be a win win :thumbsup:Sounds like these lights are well designed optically and electronically.
Just a pity that the physical design has not worked out better.
The flat side by side design for the body tube is always going to require less than straightforward solutions for the attachment of a tail-piece.
It just hasn't worked in this case.
I will never buy this light in this form while the tailcap is held on by some flimsy screws that come loose.
Seems to me that if Eagletac had opted for a traditional design with 3 18650s side-by-side in a round cell-tube then all these problems would have been avoided.
There would have been a longer runtime, the tailcap could have threaded in securely with no need for any accessory screws, and the light would also not be top-heavy.
Maybe this is the way to go for future EagleTac quad-die lights.

100% genius!
EagleTac! This is it!! Make a new batt tube with the triple 18650 design and we are golden!! I would pay $25 for it... maybe even $35... hard to pay much more for the metal tube but that'd be sweet!
