Head Assembly Caution

Changing the bezel or optic on your BOSS is fun and rewarding but its not risk free. The v5 board at the heart of every BOSS handles a variety of environmental conditions but our design expects those conditions to include physical protection by the light itself, including the glass and optic. When removed, these protective parts themselves pose a risk to the board. Specifically…

How damage happens (final assembly):

1) optic is fully seated

2) bezel starts to tighten

3) while being tightened, the optic lifts out of its holes

4) as bezel continues, the glass forces the optic, rotating the optic legs

5) more force is applied (by wrenches), dragging the legs across the board

6) legs can hit an LED, connector, or other electrical components
