Maybe its on the canister to keep it out of harm's way? But a protector would do fine for that...or maybe a locking on / off device.
The switch is a potential flood point - surely its no better to flood a battery than it is to flood a light head, is it?
Switches aren't heavy or big - that ballast on the 18W is bigger than the switch.
Does the switch need to break the circuit closer to the battery for some reason? If it breaks the circuit before the head, does it make a difference?
It wouldn't change the design of the cord would it? Still a 2 conductor cord would work.
Am I just mental - no soup for a year...
I'm confident the brightstars at Halcyon have dismissed this simple change for a reason. I just can't figure out why. On my maiden voyage the other day. I was thinking it sure would be more convienent to have the switch on the head. You know, ehere I could, oh, I dunno SEE IT. of course its a binary issue - light on, switch on... but not if something happened...
I'm confident this has been addressed here - and I didn't search for the answer before posting (bad Ken...) but c'mon...what's the scoop, troop?
