Got mine today. Pretty bright on land. Can't wait to try it in the water.

Is there a practical function for the battle spikes holding the lens on?

FWIW, I started chipping the lense shield on my light ( lots of hard rock in Lake Travis and I'm careless ). I bought something like this:

4560807TD - Matco-Norca 4560807TD - 2" x 1-1/2" Trap & Drain Coupling

I think it was a 1 3/4" - 1 1/2" but I'd have to measure. Basically I took a knife and cut it down to about 3/4" thick or so. I then slid this on over the light head and the plastic is now well protected.

I think I paid about $5-$10 at Home Depot.

I got one today. $5 at Lowes

The light is 2" OD but you want a 1.5" to 1.25" adapter and the 1.5" end is the right fit.

For whatever reason, do not get the 2" to 1.5" adapter. The 1.5" on the 2x1.5" is smaller than the 1.5" on the 1.5x1.25" probably due to "direction" of flow.

[andrewy]

Hey, Andrew...

Got the light, thanks very much! I will be sure to only keep one o-ring in place.

A few questions:

Q) Should I keep the spare O-ring in the bottom of the canister, below the battery, to prevent it from rattling, or is it better to keep it at home?
A) Keep it at home, i doubt you will ever need replacing it .

Q) If I want to put a bolt snap on the head, any special instructions for that? Put it on the cable, the strain reliever, or the metal portion of the head itself?
A) For standard DIR rigging:
1. Use cave line to tie a bolt snap to a body itself, threading line between heat ribs
2. for temporary loop tie it to strain relieve

Q) If I want a standard Goodman handle, any one that you would recommend? Or is the soft handle just as good...?
A) I quit using hard handle as soft is pretty rigid even in dry gloves., however bent piece of aluminium 3/4 flat stock from home depot works fine.

OxyCheq universal is a real nice soft handle if you feel you need to change it, though it comes from Andrew with a usable minimalist one.
