I have a couple of drop in mods from dat2zip which I use in my mini m$gs. What I would like to ask is how do you ''stick'' them in their place on the head of the light?
I dont want to change batteries one day only for the mod to fall out and get damaged.
Thanks

Try a thin foam rubber donut that is slightly larger than the inside of the body, pushed up between (or next to) the module and the batteries. Dat2zip used to sell a snap ring to do this, but some folks had problems with it. You may need to instll a Kroll switch as the washer may not let the module back off enough to let the origional twist switch to work.

The Brinkman 2AA light comes with a steel O-ring that you remove in order to install the Dat2zip module. The O-ring can be re-installed to hold the module in place.
I'm sure that you can get (or make from a paper clip) a similar ring for the M$GLite.

BTW, it's not really an O-ring, it's more like a C-ring.
