extension tube / battery holder?

[spankone]

I thought most flashaholics would have a spare extension tube for thier surefires, solarforce, spiderfire's etc etc. and though it must be simple to make two end caps one with a lanyard hole. has any one done this...

solarforce extension tubes are around £5 delivered from HK. if the end caps could be made well enough for cheap enough they would make a nice battery holder .

what do you guys think :duh2:

I think its an OK idea, I doubt its going to catch on for anything outside of a Maglite.

Some manufacturers (HDS, 4Sevens for the Quark line, etc) offer or have offered end caps for their tubes and this purpose.

I've always figured if I have enough room to carry something that size, why not just carry another light?

Like a Fenix P1D! It's a great battery holder with a light attached!

Good point. But depending on the light, it can also give you some added flexibility.

Case in point: I keep my Quark AA Tactical in my briefcase, loaded with a 14500. I also bought a AA² body, which came with those caps; I keep a coupla extra 14500 cells in the tube, and if THREE 14500s aren't enough, I have the option of getting full performance outta 2 x whatever alkaline AAs I can scrounge. Works for me.
