Well my L4 arrived today! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
My L4 has the o-ring, that was forgotten on many peoples'.
I did a blow test for the KL4 end, blowing into the bottom of the light without the Z57 on and of course without the batteries. No bubbles at all. At this point I had not lubed up anything so I was pretty impressed.
I took off my KL4 and put the Z57 clickie back on. I blew hard, and I got a few bubbles! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
I lubed up the threads between the body of the L4 and the clickie. I did the blow test again, and got one bubble. It seems that one bubble sealed it up, because after that I didn't get any bubbles. I tried blowing for a while, but no bubbles.
I am still not sure what to think. I got a top-quality light from a very reputable company (Surefire), yet the light didn't come very waterproof. Even with all of the o-rings, and lubing them up, I am not sure how waterproof the L4 is. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif I am not taking many chances with it, because it was so expensive. The L4 will be my EDC, and I wish I knew for sure that it is waterproof or not. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif
