I believe this can be fixed by unscrewing the bezel and putting it back on. (be careful, the lens and o-ring sit underneath, so make sure they don't fall :thumbsup: )

Anyone know for certain?

No luck - just tried rescrewing it a few times.
 
Posts #218 & 219 in the new RA products thread have some more specific information. Mine is the same, but haven't tried the "fix" yet.
 
I was kind of wondering if a titanium bezel would fix the off center problem (not that it's that bad, just like it to be perfect:kiss🙂.

awesome - thanks!

Just checked the posts and it sounds like a logical fix.
 
The Clicky is waterproof, but in the tailcap are 4 little holes which seem to go through, so water must enter here.

How to explain this?

Sorry, if it has already been asked... :faint:
 
Titan1833, nice write up. Just ordered my yet to arrive new RA Clicky this morning from Unique Titanium. Thanks for pointing out clearly all the areas I need to look at when the light source shows up.

Can you identify a source for your horizontal holster? I like to carry my lights on my belt when I can. Really looking forward to this light.

Hi Bro it's really a phone holster but it works for me,check them out here
 
I use a holster from spec-ops for one of my clickies. Once I get the 3rd one ordered, I'm gonna order the double holster from spec-ops for clicky #2 and clicky #3.

The clip from chip arrived and it's gorgeous. I just gotta screw it on.
 
Here's a link

http://www.specopsbrand.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=15

It was listed on this site a while back. Looks like it's listed under sheath not holster. My bad. The black goes real well with office attire, etc. It's strong, looks good and it's made in USA.

It's cheaper here

Cheap! Dang, looks like it's sold out on Lighthound.

Got my 140-Cgt back and my 170-Cn arrived as well.

The GT was fixed and works fine now. I love the tint of this light!

The 170 has a noticeable advantage in throw and is noticably brighter than either the 140-Cgt or the 140-T. The spill is not as lavender as the T with a nicely tinted, cream color hotspot.

This brings my Ra total up to 5 now -- 100-Tw, 100-Tr, 140-Cgt, 140-T and 170 Custom (Black Ti Crenelated Bezel, Black Clip, Flush Button, Executive).
 
Has anyone reported problems with inexplicable battery exhaustion while the light is off or using locator flash for several days?

My Ra Clicky 140C (s/n 6015) has excellent run-time under normal conditions. Using a fully-charged AW RCR123A, it ran 63 min. to 1st step-down. Using a fresh Surefire CR123A, it ran for 99 min (1 hr 39 min) to 1st step-down.

However, a few times when I've left it sitting several days with locator flash on -- or with auto-turnoff enabled -- the battery is dead when I try to use it. I've experienced that with both AW and Battery Station-branded RCR123As. Haven't tried it with a primary cell yet.

It's almost like the quiescent current drain in those modes is greater than expected.

Any reports of this?

Yes this has happened to me once with my 140-T. It drained the original battery it came with overnight in the first few days I had it. I have auto off enabled.

I have been using AW IMR CR123s since and it has not happened again :shrug:

Run time is KILLER for me too on an AW IMR - tested 3 times and averaged about 72 minutes on high with about 6 bursts over the hour :devil:
