Damned if I can get that lanyard on either of my Fenix lights. Not a huge deal if I never get it on there, but it'd be nice. Just a rant I had.

Lynx_Arc was once offering them to all for a nominal price, or someone may be able to get another bag of them from Walmart.
Once installed, they make a perfect attachment for lanyards or other types of clips.

If your life depends on not losing your flashlight, you should have a better restraint for your light than just a lanyard looped around your wrist.Sub_Umbra said:I wouldn't bet anyone's life on a 'dental floss' lanyard -- certainly not my own.
Ever gone fishing? You'd be surprised how strong polymer filaments are, especially true when they're braided instead of being a monofilament.A company adds an afterthought like that to a light so they may claim it has a lanyard. It is so thin that it cannot be relyed upon.
It's really not as hard as some people are trying to portray it as. You'd expect flashaholics to have a mastery of the most basic tasks relating to flashlight assembly and maintenance. If people can't thread lanyards god forbid they have to ever install and lubricate o-rings! dun dun dun!Many have trouble attaching it to their lights at home under the best of conditions.
Fenix doesn't make any performance claims about the lanyard. If you need something better then put something better on there...maybe a military-grade tactical covert ops sniper squad mil spec certified lanyardIMO it may really only be called a lanyard in the same sense that 'paint by numbers' may be called art.
