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...

 

[Chronos]

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.

:D

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.":drool: 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:

 

[orb]

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? :drool:

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?
