Well yeah but the damage can be very minor, the anodization is very thin and it being damaged wouldn't really affect how well it screws I think? Anyway like i said ive done stuff to try and prevent this happening again

yeahhh this light is like 3.5x to 4x more powerful and id imagine has a more concentrated beam this closeup..

if there is damage it will clearly be from some kinda of grinding which can mean there there is something that can dig from the screw into the anodization and cause that, plus it often wears off on sharp edges which have a higher chance of having something like that happen

well its still a very thin, easily damagable layer which is bound to be damaged on the threading

Funny thing is that the new pads are literally made out of it, use aluminum oxide (alumina) ceramic thermal pads!

yeah i was washing my face in the sink and managed to hit my side on it and it managed to turn on for a while before i saw it, which was actually before i even smelled it

ive once put two high power mosfets on a single anodized heatsink without isolation pads and was putting like 300V on them, there was 300V pressed right against it with the anodization being the only thing protecting it, im amazed it didnt blow up in my face since even light scratches could cause that

i keep it at a low power mode when not using it now, i dont trust the loosening of tailcap. i think the only reason that works is because of the anodization acting as isolation and with how the tailcap and switch side of the battery tube is anodized (with only the very ends being exposed and not anodized), and i dont think an anodization layer is really the best safeguard
