This is really a fairly minor question of the sort I would normally just e-mail directly, but on further thought felt that the answer may have interest to more than just me, so here it is.
Peter, I have both white and UV Arc AAA's that are nearly indiscernable until turned on, especially in the dark (I think that deserves a "Duh!" - that's when you turn them on, eh?)
Since the UV can be a fairly dangerous light to look into inadvertantly, or to aim toward another shouldn't it have a "CAUTION" tag or something to warn the user or to at least make it easier to differentiate it from other Arc AAA's?
Personally, I'm considering some simple machining on the head so the UV can be reliably differentiated by feel (a circumferential groove with an O ring in it).
EDIT: I've put a band of blue heat shrink tubing around the head of the UV as both a visual and tactile indicator. Simplest quickest, and easiest solution I could come up with.
Thanks for some very nice lights and (in advance) for your answer to the question.
Take care,
( BTW, the Arc AAA UV was ordered from Vicomptel and Cyrus got it to me via the normal least-cost shipping in under a week in fine shape. )
