Show your lights with trits!

Very nice...

[Superorb]

I'd like to have a ring of GITD goodness on my lights like the light in the upper left. How is this accomplished?

[FrogmanM]

Superorb,

lighthound should have some GITD O-rings for sale, I like them in this arrangement as well. I have one on my Ti Aleph 19

So, the o-ring just sits on the light, it doesn't serve any functional purpose much like a rubber band over a cardboard tube right? This would work assuming my lights have a small indented ring to stick the o-ring.

[FrogmanM]

I'm not sure about the SF that nein has, but my GITD o-ring is used for keeping the dust/lint out of the tight "trench" that forms between the body and head of my flashlight. GITD is mainly used for that added fun factor, or as a cheaper alternative to tritium.

Any pics of yours? Trench... That's a good name for it

[FrogmanM]

Sry I don't have a UV light to help with the glow effect+i'm using a iPhone camera... I hope you get the gist of it.

How are you guys getting all those Tritium vials into the flashlights? Do you machine out a slot and then epoxy the vial?

DaFABRICATA, did you use a milling machine to make that slot in your nitecore D10 for the tritium? It appears to be very nicely done. what size was used?

[toby_pra]

This is awesome DaFab!!!

The milled D10/EX10 pistons were available from 4Sevens and unless I'm mistaken, still are.

[Superorb]

How are you guys milling the bodies, or are you buying them that way?

Thanks. I see them now. What size trits would fit best in the 2x8mm slot?

[kaichu dento]

I believe we all got them from CPF member Bart. Look for his tritium thread.

[toby_pra]

i believe you mean nein166

You are right! sorry...

[HKJ]

I do not have many lights with trits, only this:

Wee Ti?

Very very nice shot...

Looks like I lost track of this thread.
Superorb for the upper left flashlight(Milky L-1:Hybrid L2 head w/K2 TFFC) in my picture I used superglue to hold the Trit in the Surefire Clip. Like FrogMan said the GITD O-ring lays in the "Trench"
Here is a better view of my ML-1


Most lights with Trits come with a slot milled into the light at time of manufacture. This is the case with the McGizmo PR-T below. Then the Trits are often epoxied into the slot with Norland 61(UV activated) or Devcon 2 Ton(2 part epoxy). A better look is achieved this way as superglue tends to frost and obscure the trit.

The GITD Orings came from ?PFMedic? I think an old thread in the Marketplace. I haven't seen it recently

[nein166]

DaFABRICATA nice work on the Surefire Tritium Light... but how do you turn it off?

[nein166]

Question: What is that ?KL6? attached to in the back with a Green trit in the oven knob

I think I need to mod some Keys when I get my hands on more trits

Norland 61 is probably the best option for adhering tritium, though I have had a lot of success with Uhu brand glue as well (german made and dries ultra clear). I prefer it for some applications because it dries somewhat flexible (shock absorbtion).
