im sure this question have been asked before. Can someone pls. tell me what kind of lube i need to buy so i can clean all of my SF lights and lube the threads and the orings. What brand and where to buy.

Also, if i wanted extra o-rings for my SF lights do i buy it from them or i can buy it somewhere else?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I use "silicone grease" on my INOVA's. I got mine off amazon from a seller who specializes in diving equipment.

It was like $13.00 for 1.5 oz. Thats not a good deal, BUT it will be YEARS before I use it all.

Some other options...

Order some of this, it is highly regarded as the best lube for flashlights.

For lube I suggest the Nyogel you can find from fellow CPFer Lumiphile here: http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=165911
As for o-rings, better off getting from the manufacturer for a better fit. I think www.lighthound.com and http://theledguy.chainreactionweb.com/index.php may also have them.......

Far too many threads on this subject already. Try searching using the word "grease" to find dozens of them.

Here's the best one I've seen in a long time:

That's some good info, so I'll close this O-ring thread, and merge it with one of the others. So, this one is closed, for the time being.
