Recommendations for a lanyard on my Arc AAA? ...

[cmeisenzahl]

This little light is great but it's almost too small! :-)

Any ideas for something decent to use as a lanyard to loop through the little steel ring on the back of the light?

Thanks very much,
Christopher

I used a leather bootlace until my cat ate it!

I agree, though as I was replacing my Mag Solitaire, I just used the lanyard that came with it.
I think they're $5 or so at Wal-Mart, and at this point if I needed another, I'd buy the light just for the lanyard, unless I could find someone selling it as a mag part on the web somewhere.

I used one of a set of boot laces (not leather) I bought at Walmart for about $.70 for a pair. It works very well. TX

I use the lanyard knot as used on Chris Reeve Sebenza knives. You can use leather lace or 1/8" para cord or whatever you got. The instructions for tying it are found below...

The Chris Reeve knot looks like a hangman's knot to me. TX

REI carries a nice lanyard with swivel for $1.00. I've had one for 20 years on a Swiss Army Knife and it's still in great shape. Bought a few more just last weekend. REI also carries a higher feature lanyard for &10.00 which is similar to the CMG but with much better swivels and a clip release near the end.

I don't use one on my AAA yet but I have looked for whistle lanyards (you can get great braided leather lanyards), eye glass retainers or lanyards, or even pet lanyards. Many pet stores have them. Do a google search on whistle lanyards and see for yourself. If I do end up buying a braided leather lanyard ($10-$40) I'll be sure to post a recommendation.

Cheers.

If not for the huge knot my Paracord Lanyard would be the sweetest. But I hardly notice the knot until it works it's way to the side of my neck.

Still, I carry it this way always!

How about this one from REI , with a 22" retractable holder?

Thanks very much for all the ideas guys, very much appreciated!

I'm using my old pager leash. It has a spring clip to clip on to any part of clothing and a clip to hook the AAA.

I came across this page today:

There is a list of a few tethers that might fit your need.

If you are inclined to make your own, you might find some ideas here:

Spectra tethers

Although Spectra is shown, other cordage can be used as well.

There is an Arc AAA that comes with its own mini clip, is that a standard accessory thats included?

This is something that Berkley point put together. They also sell the mini clip separately.

It is not standard from Arc.

nyyanks,

If you are refering to the berkeleypoint Arc AAA offering, yes, the s.s. mini-clip is included with the flashlight. The battery is installed in the light and the blister pack chamber that held the battery is filled with the Mini-Clip.

Office supply stores have some nice keyholders -- retractable spools of string, coated wire, or the small-size stainless sash chain -- with belt clips or loops on the spool.

The small scale stainless sash cord is hard to find - Eastern Hardware in south Berkeley/north Oakland (old and new stores, both on Shattuck Ave) has it sometimes at $1/foot.
