Stop switches being accidentally being turned on - save your batteries

Designers should know better...

But they continue to produce equipment that have stupid switches, the sort that come on when you shove your head lamp in your gear bag. You pull it out to use and thanks to an idiot in the design department, something has pressed against the raised switch, turned it on and now the batteries are dead.

To fix this on a recent head lamp I bought (I should've known better than to buy it in the first place - I partnered in the designer's idiocy) I used some Shoegoo to build the area up around the switch so that instead of the switch being a raised knob, it is now level with the Shoegoo. A silastic of some variety would do a similar job.

So now I can shove it in my gear bag and it won't get knocked on and flatten my batteries before the first night of my next camping trip.
