Hi all,
OK, really happy with the Lumintop IYP-365. Something seems strange to me, and yes, I was aware before purchasing, the O-ring at the front of the light is glow-in-the-dark, but requires 'pre-charging' with light firstly. One has to actually use the flashlight, and then the ring will glow for a while after the light is turned off.
The nuisance of this is that if the area is dark and you want to find the light, you can't see it unless you have been using it recently. I would have thought a better options would have been to have regular a glow-in-the-dark style, that just does glow when it's dark, without needing a pre-charge of light first.
Anyone know if why the particular pre-charge O-rings were chosen by Lumintop and some others?
Anyone know of a place selling regular glow O-rings that would or could replace the one in the Lumintop IYP365?
I may just find a stretchy O-ring or two that will go over the head and fit snug on the body, that should work, and save me dismantling anything too.
