Older C-Cell MagLite Switch R&R

I am probably going need to forgo that step. A "Man's got to know his limitations." and that kind of limitations is mine.


I will be applying a thin coat of OxGard to the entire surface of all contacts because most of them appear to be aluminum, which should improve connectivity and prevent corrosion in the future.

I appreciate both of you (ABTOMAT and vicv) replying! I have learned so much about MagLite along, not to mention other brands and types, from joining the forum on Sunday.
Thanks!

Can't solder? It's ok. It's not a necessary step. I just wanted to remove as much resistance as possible

Hey @vicv would you recommend the tower-bulb-soldering bypass on D-cell lights as well?

I've done tailcap spring bypasses, but never thought to do the bulb tower spring.

I would recommend it on all mag lights. The C and the D is the same thing really. I just found that the spring is quite thin. So it can't be very good for high current set ups. It only takes a couple minutes to bypass it, so why not
