Re: Zebralight SC600 (1x18650, XM-L) Review: RUNTIME, BEAMSHOTS, comparisons & more!
Is there a place to attach a lanyard? I'll need a lanyard when I use it for caving.
Interestingly enough, the SureFire Model Z33 lanyard ring would be nearly perfect. It's got the right diameter (almost perfectly so) but it's too thick for the tailcap to be tightened down enough for the light to be turned on.
Of course, on the SureFires it fits there's extra space designed into the bodies to accommodate the lanyard ring. If there were a 23 mm inner diameter "flat" lanyard ring to be had somewhere, maybe it would work, as long as it could be slipped into the very narrow space on the opposite side of the o-ring from the tailcap -- and there is a tiny bit of space available to work with just past the o-ring.
Maybe one of these SureFire rings could even be ground down flat enough to work as long as it could be placed on the opposite side of the o-ring, which should enable the tailcap to maintain its ability to keep water out.
Use of the lanyard ring as I have it placed in this photo would make the flashlight no longer waterproof (unless it could perhaps be sandwiched between two o-rings with plenty of lube) and maybe used with some kind of spacer inside the body tube (probably an inadvisable thing).
Just for grins, here's a pic of the fit with the Z33 lanyard kit ring (again, too thick to work).
I think it can be seen in the following shot that if a thin enough lanyard ring could be found -- or made -- something very flat at possiby .5 mm thick and over 22 mm inner diameter, probably 23 to 24 mm inner diameter, there should be room for it with the tailcap tightened fully down as it is in the photo. Such placement shouldn't compromise the waterproofing.
Then again, there are probably much easier solutions...
