...and when that happens, the superglue usually comes out, and it all goes downhill from there. :devil: (evenings are much more dorky when I'm home alone.)
I made this:
Now, before anyone s**ts a brick about me drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa, the piston in here is a nickel-plated aluminum one from my Arc6 (which now has a titanium piston, heehee :D), so it's really more like drawing a mustache on a print of the Mona Lisa. I got tired of the nickel-plate on the piston tarnishing over and over again, and I had a bunch of glow-in-the-dark switch covers, and as I mentioned before, I also has superglue, so...:whistle:
(EDIT: pidgin english not intended, but left in-place for humor value. :D)
Anyway, it's quite comfortable to use, and the play in the silicone switch cover makes holding the light on high-mode for a long time much easier to do, because even if you let up the pressure slightly, the silicone wants to un-squish and that holds the electrical contacts in place.
I managed to get the switch cover to sit flat on the button, so it can still tailstand, though it's a wee bit wobbly, but that's not a problem as long as you're not in an earthquake. And a bonus I just realized is that the brim on the switch cover acts as yet another seal to prevent dirt from getting in, at least until you push the button -- but it's most likely to get dirty when you drop the light on the ground, in which case you won't be pushing the button, so it works out well. :)
You know what they say about idle hands, right? :devil:
