Intova LED

I noticed on the DR website that there are photos of the Intova LED with a lanyard or a snap bolt. I got mine this weekend and was going add a snap bolt was wondering how the snap bolt is attached.

Hi Michael,

You can attach the bolt snap various ways. Easiest is using a Hose Clip Retainer. Or you can use a zip tie from the hardware store or dive reel line (or similarly strong twine).

I hope this helps.

I was thinking zip ties but I was wondering if yall might have made a special retainer.

I have a couple of Intova lights and I tied bolt snaps on with cave line. If you do this, keep an eye on it, the edges of the hole in the light are sharp and it has worn through the line a couple of times.

Use a split ring to go as in-between the light and the bolt snap. No worries about sharp edges cutting the cave line.

I like these Intova lights - tough as hell and compact yet still throw out some decent lumination.

Yep the center hole on the light has VERY sharp edges, I used some sand paper and took the razor edge off and have had no issues with it cutting into the cave line since. I like using cave line very strong and and can easily cut loose if required, not a big fan of zip ties they are in my opinion not as secure/safe as cave line (safe: i.e they can break more easily possibly resulting in a loss).

I think I will be switching to cave line also. This weekend I had a wire tie break but didn't notice it until back on the boat. Lucky, I had a bungee on a that held the light in place.
