Lanyard for a Surefire or similar flashlight

When I got my Surefire from ebay, i was very happy with this tool of illumination, though not very happy with the price of its equipment.
So i thought about some ways of not spending all my money on gimmicks but using my brain first.

Look at what happened!

Step 1 What you need:

- a Surefire or similar lamp
- some weldingg wire
- some (combination) pliers (not in this Picture)

Remove tailcap and batteries.

You could solder the ends with tin

is the tail cap still water tight?

[Ubbo]

Yes. There is no change in design. If it was waterproof before, than it is still know. I just found a way to do it myself, than to order it from the U.S.

nice idea. will the hook open up if the lamp gets stuck somewhere? maybe a risk for losing your flash light.

[Ubbo]

I think the paracord is tough enough to painfully remind you of a stuck lamp, before you bend up the ring wide enough to let it slip. And a crash thats hard enough to break the wire would damage the lamp too, so be careful! :-)

How good is that flashlight

[emclean]

the lights are very good, the customer service is better.

[Ubbo]

I do like it very much. Its bright, its handy and its very lightweight, due to the nitrolon hull. A guy from the German Military Police told me its "one of the best lights available for small money." It gets the job done!

How is this green?

[theRIAA]

the color, duh

[Ubbo]

it saves a purchase from the web, thus saving an airmail package to Germany, thus saving a lot of fuel and by the way: all items are recycled, except the flashlight!

Meh.
