Anti-Rolling Device for 2AA Lights?

CalgaryGuy · Mar 1, 2004

Any advice on how to build (or buy) an anti-rolling device for an Arc LSH-P with 2AA tail? Thanks.

PS. Feel free to move it to the right forum if I'm in the wrong forum.

A thick rubber band with a twist in it?

M@G lite makes a plastic anti-rolling device for their AA version that just slips on. Can buy it as a kit (with a few other goodies) from most outdoors shops. (adapt, re-work, force-it, etc...)
Take a big hex nut and secure it with heat shrink tubing! (sorry that makes it anti-carry!)
Hey, be inventive!!

I found that ergonomic grip from the WalMart Ozark Trail 2AA light both adds "gripablilty" and prevents any rolling!

I worked in a science supply company for a while, I remember there were hex shape rubber thingie for the same purpose for test tubes or cylinders. I used to have one on my old style SF 6p, it works great, until it slipped off and lost forever...

After my Arc LS (with 2AA pack) rolled off a shelf and hit the floor, I positioned 2 paper clips about half an inch apart on the head, and used duct tape to hold them in position. That creates a nice, stable flat spot.

Thanks for all the responses, I really like the shrink tube idea. However, I'll probably put a paper clip or something small so it's still EDC and doesn't roll.

Try a zip tie and cut off the remaining "tail" (or leave it on)

I was thinking about the zip tie but the shrink tube is so much nicer and have not rough edge.

You could try this:

DaveT, I don't need the lanyard attachment but I do need water tight integrity on my Arc so that's not a good option for me. But thanks for sending the link.

Maybe just a small wrist strap? The cord may create enough drag to keep it from rolling (much).

I put a brinkman AA pocket clip on mine nice long sturdy clips. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
