Thanks to all who responded to my post on how to add strain relief to =
the cord of an AUL cannister light.

What I gathered=8B

- Send it to Arnold, if he does a repair he will install strain =
relief without asking (great guy).

- Get a UK brand hose protector, cut it in half. Disassemble the =
compression fitting on the cannister end and slide the tapered half =
of the protector to the light head. Put the thick portion at the =
cannister end, attach with a zip-tie. As an alternative to taking the =
hose apart, spiral cut the protector and thread it onto the hose.

- Purchase a plastic compression fitting which has an integral strain =
relief and use this to replace the original brass fitting. =
Mcmaster-Carr (908-329-3200).

One fan of mine suggested that I shove the AUL light up my ass, then =
my bone and muscle structure will then act as an organic strain =
relief. To this person I say that while there might be some people on =
this list who's sphincter muscles might be capable of achieving such =
impressive dimensions, I (fortunately) am not one of them. Now if you =
had suggested that I shove in my mouth.....

Thanks again, guys-

   Jim
