Even with the stop nut (which I did notice). I if one got the spring washers with the product, there is little sense having to look for normal ones instead. | |
| Mar 13, 2021 at 15:01 | comment | added | Carel | At least one of the nuts looks like a stop-nut (the blue nylon inset), so I guess, the others are as well. The spring washers are like belt and suspenders at once and not strictly required. I'd put normal washers under each nut (and under the reflector, if I have more). | |
