Inova Micro - Clip Problems ?

My wife lost her first Inova MicroLight from her keyring. Her split keyring was spread apart too much and that may have caused the loss. Yesterday mine came off of my keyring, so now I'm wondering if I should use a different type of clip.

To prevent the Inova's longish, flat, stainless, clip from opening too easily, I spread out the clip for greater tension and reshaped the open end, a little, to improve the mating when closed. Apparently this tweaking was insufficient so I tried a little more "goosing". I'm hoping this fixes it.

Have any of you lost your Inova MicroLight or had it come loose? Thanks.

Jay,
I lost mine many, many times. Always ended up finding it though. I think my kid has it now. I once lost it for six months or so only to find it under the seat of my car. Somehow, the clip gets depressed and bye bye light!! Doug /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, Doug, that's my hunch, too. I think I'll be looking for a clip that's more difficult to depress - so I don't suffer a flashaholic's blues over a lost light.
