Anodized twisty tail caps for their LS-* lights. I found a nice unanodized one which is perfectly functional but I really would like an anodized version that more closely matches my LSH...

Judging from the amount of traffic I have seen on the board, an anodized version would be a brisk seller

I think that the un-anodized ones are just the leftovers. As I undersand it there are no plans to make them anymore, so when they're gone, they're gone.

yep..
Mr. Gransee completely sold out of the anodized twisties..

i believe they're still available in one or two places.. but numbers are small and wont last long..

as for Arc making anodized twisties again, i dunno, i think it might be done if there's a steady demand..

Perhaps someone could anodize a batch of the un-anodized ones? I think at least one CPF member does anodization for a fee.

Twisties didn't work with all battery brands and were discontinued in favor of the kroll tails.

Both have their good points--I just like the twisites better.

the twisty tail was crushing some battery types..

I prefer them, they put an emphasis on the advantage og the Arc: size. And they do not accidently turn on, are not diffivult to move in and out of the pocket - no rubber, and they do not fail.

Just a thought.... shouldn't it be possible to make a twisty-click pack with an internal switch. Make it so the base can screw on until the threads from the base are past the threads on the head, leaving it loose but unable to fall out. Then a spring loaded switch would work by pressing the whole base in?

Something like this:

Would need a way to keep the head from sliding back in the on mode though...
