Hi all,
I was tinkering around with my Fenix torches the other day and had 2 ideas for additional accessories they could offer. If anybody has heard of these or knows where to get them then please reply.
Anyway... idea #1:
I have an LD20 with diffusers and was thinking how handy it would be to have some kind of 3-legged tripod mount that could hold the torch vertical at the side of a road or something in case of roadside emergency. Just something small that could fit into a glove comparment box or roadside kit in the trunk or something like that. I can see many other uses for this mount as well (ie.. working under a car, inside the house when power goes off, a generic light in a backyard at night, etc...).
My thoughts were that the strobe features of these torches could be very useful at the side of a road if standing vertical on the ground like a pilon and flashing away (with either the red or white diffuser on top).
Living up north, setting a torch on it's tailcap on the side of a road in the dead of winter is just not an option <grin>.
and...Idea #2
Owning a Fenix P1D CE and an E01 as well, I thought another good idea might be to have some kind of universal baseball cap clip mount for these. I often wear a ball cap to work and most often I need both my hands for the job at hand. I find that I'm always trying to find a place to set my light down to illuminate what I'm doing.
I'm aware of the headset mount Fenix offers but that is too much overkill for these little lights imho. A sturdy clip with some kind of adjustable (and pivotable) mount for 'smaller' torches I think would be ideal.. at least for me.
I look forward to any thoughts and other ideas !
