I made it VERY TIGHT but I was afraid I would shatter the glass. How do you
know when it's enough tightening on the two-inch-long bolt for the steel
band?

According to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h0BqTSAMO8) which
shows a light exactly like mine (except a lot cleaner), the guy says "in my
opinion, you can't tighten the bolt too tight".

So I guess I did the right thing (the glass didn't shatter and it didn't
leak.

But I can see why you'd have to replace the $15 gasket each time because
that steel band compresses it quite tightly when snug as far as it will
turn.
