Loose head/unscrew on the SF E2 advice needed

[marinemaster]

Guys I have a SF E2 and the head is loose...when I change the batteries the head unscrew instead. What can I use some kind of glue/epoxy or some kind of a ring to tight it so it won't come loose ? For the glue/epoxy I think there is some that is not permanent. I measured at 1 inch and 1.1 inch respectively so I would need a ring with 1.1 diameter, not sure how thick or what material. Hope I am not confusing here. Which of these two methods will work best?

ummm...the head needs to come off to replace the batteries.:thinking:

The e-series lights are too small at the tail-end to fit batteries.

Not really sure what you are saying here....the head comes unscrewed easily?...maybe try a new o-ring and tighten it down harder by hand..:shrug:

I think he means the bezel that holds the lens in. I would try a small dab of Loctite blue. Strong enough to keep it on there, but not too strong in case it ever needs to come off.
My older E2e has that problem, but I just make sure not to grab onto the bezel when unscrewing.
