I would like suggestions on either shortening the lanyard that came with the L1P or using something different.
I want the lanyard to be the length of the light when attached to the tailcap and hanging down. I will just put a couple fingers through it when holding the light instead of my whole hand. Besides, with the original lanyard, it wants to catch on everything all of the time with the light strapped to my belt.
I will eventually be putting a clip on my L1P, but will still use the shortened lanyard.
What I was going to do was to tie a knot in the original lanyard at the proper length and then melt the ends to prevent fraying.
Another idea I had was to use a steel leader used for fishing as a lanyard, but don't know how that would hold up as far as bending. It may be too stiff to work in the first place.
I want something that will look good as well as function properly and last a long time.
OK EVERYBODY, BRAINSTORM!!!
