Sorry about your light.

Sorry thought it would block it if it was unwanted

But seriously how are you suposta get this thing on with out scratching all the anodizing?

Thanks for fixing that. :thumbsup:

I found that spreading the clip a bit and sliding it on from the end works better than just pushing it on from the side and letting the light body itself spread the clip. Then the sharp edges don't grind against the ano so much. If that makes sense.

Same thing happened with my Jetbeam BA20. I wanted to reverse the clip, ended up scratching some anodizing off 🙁. Now I refuse to mess with any clips.

Same with my LD20, putting on and off the clip destroys the anodizing...

I'm pissed at CPF's for teaching me every thing about flashlights EXCEPT this lol

Yeah I'm not messing with clips anymore unless there the kind where you take the back cap off to put them on. Pocket or holster for me...

I always wrap mylar film around the light, slide the clip on and then slide the film out. It's really tough and thin stuff so it doesn't rip if you are carefull.

I just wish the clip on the ld01 would stay on.. It slides right off the back of the light.
