IceCap T5 Encaps

[jknecht]

I just received 2 - pair of Icecap T5 endcaps and they don't look like the picture on your website or the current Icecap T5 endcaps I already own. There definitely for a T5 they just look alot different. Did they change the design or did I receive the wrong thing?

They shoudl be fairly similar to what you received before. The main differences that I can think of is that the inner rubber ring is now orange/brown if I'm not mistaken, and the piece that snaps down into the mount might be of different size.

You are correct the rubber ring is orange/brown and the bulb doesn't appear to have to twist to lock into place. I just want to make sure they are Icecap.

Yes, these are the exact ones that Icecap is shipping right now. I know the VHO's went to a non twist lock endcap, but didn't know the T5's had as well.

Thanks... Great Customer Service as always...

Yeah, they switched recently to the non-twist kind. I don't think they're made by Icecap. FYI, the newer "snap-in' endcaps don't fit into the older "twist-in" standoffs.
