The idea was to design a multipurpose tailcap. Clip and/or lanyard and/or Mil. Std 1913 (Picatinny) should be able to be used, even all of them at the same time.
QUESTION: Why we do preffer to hold the flashlight to the weapon by tailcap instead by the body as all the manufacturers?

ANSWER: When tailcap is the "fixed point" is easier to turn the light for constant on, but at the same time near impossible to do it by accident, so we decided to go that way...
...but at the same time as the tailcap position was fixed it was possible to use a kind of "trigger" to make activation even easier an safer. Remote switches have their weakest point on the wire itself, and they are not as waterproof as our lights, so we decided to research for alternate options. (This is pat. pending)
The following early drawings have some differences with the production models, but can show you teh way the system works, and why do we name it "Trigger tailcap"
Here you can find the components, exception made of the "Trigger assemby": Naked tailcap, lanyard, Mil. Std 1913 attachment and Ti Clip.
And the following picture will show different configurations for both, T-04 and T-15's.
As you can see the picatinny attachment can be used also on the battery tube. In fact a picatinny attachment is a very good system to attach really fast anything to almost anywhere, regardless of impacts and vibrations, so posibilities are endless.
