Looking at both the Scout and the Mini-Explorer, it's apparent that Halcyon favors a single o-ring seal for twist on/off lights over a double o-ring seal found on certain roughly comparable lights (e.g., Light Monkey 3W). Would you please comment on why you elected a single o-ring seal?

I own both types of backup lights and have never flooded either design, and I have great respect for the quality of your gear -- most of my rig is Halcyon -- so please don't take this as an implied criticism. I'm just genuinely curious as to whether there's anything gained (or lost) in terms of reliability by adding a second o-ring in this context, and figured you guys have a pretty good reason for designing these lights as you did.

Thanks much.
