Hello all!
I come to you with simple but perhaps not so easy to answer questions regarding a specific light.
I'm a new comer to the high-end LED lights and just recently purchased the Nitecore Extreme with SS bezel (btw, what an amazing little light!)
Unfortunately, many little specifics of this light is not available and only information I've gathered so far are based on successful trial error by other forum members.
I apologize in advance if any of the following questions were answered specifically in other threads. I looked as best as I could in CPF and other internet sites.
Here are some of the questions I have:
1) What is the o-ring size? I can measure the ones that came with the light but how do I order more of them from a vendor and ensure that the size will match? Is there a convention? (i.e. some vendors measure outside diameter of the ring but don't provide the thickness info of the ring. Some provide center to center diameter). Are there specific types of materials for the o-rings? Or does it matter?
2) What is the rubber cap size? Same idea as the o-rings. I don't know the convention to which these parts are measured.
3) What is the thread pitch/size of the light for both the head and the retaining ring? (I understand it is compatible with SF E series head, but how can I find out if it will fit 'other' lights?)
4) What is the clicky spec? Is it possible to get aftermarket switch? If so, I would think there is specific size (diameter, height, etc). Is there would be voltage/current limitation I should be aware of?
You maybe wondering "why would you need these information?"
Well, I'm thinking to venture into 'cosmetic' modification of my light but I lack the necessary skills to produce the parts. Knowing some of these specifications would help me out greatly
Thank you in advance for all your help!
