[StenLight-users] New subscriber/ S7 owner-to-be...

[Chris and Teresa Anderson]

Thanks, Susan:

It will soon be academic, as I should have my S7 Friday! My Ecrin helmet 
has considerable room in the sides, but there's no point in me 
speculating until the battery arrives I guess.

I'm actually thinking about keeping my 21 LED Gemini and Duo attached to 
use as backup, so the real estate at the outside back is taken up.  This 
is subject to change. I could perhaps mount the batteries of the S7 to 
the back of the Duo case...

Thanks for settling my concerns about the profile of the headpiece.

Many of you have no doubt seen this, but there is a nice thread complete 
with a discharge graph recently posted at

And thanks for the comments on my imagery!
