Well, i just had to run out to Bass pro shop and pick up the new Nite-Ize IQ switch, i can say this it is pretty cool with 5 different function modes. They work like this with each press of the switch (within 2 seconds of each other) it goes 1st click is 100% power 2cnd click is 50% power 3rd click is 25% power 4th click is slow strobe and last but not least on the 5th click is fast strobe.
Now for a little info on the modded mag i put the switch on it is a miniminimag running a nextgen sammie with a twoj at 750 ma. running on a older blue wrapped protected AA size lithium-ion battery from AW it checked in at 4.1 volts before this test. Now on my cheap (ebay) light meter with the stock maglite tailcap on i get 2200 lux at 36" now with the kroll clickie i get 2330 lux i also have a clickie switch that i got off a cheap harbor frieght light which works and feels very nice with that switch i get right at 2200 lux and finally for the night ize switch i get right about 1000 lux. WTF!! yep that is exactly what i was thinking less than half the lux readings that the stock switch puts out, how can this be?? Has anyone else tried this yet?? Could the nite-ize switch really have that much resistance or could it be that i just happen to get a bad switch?? Dosen't look very good at this point..
Thanks and thats my story and i'm sticking to it
