Replacement bulbs for Pentagonlight X3

[Monocrom]

Is your X3 tailcap a TC2?

Nope. It's the TC1 model.

Do you have any other SF or SF compatible TCs to try? With the sheer number of aftermarket TCs available, I'm sure there's one that works out there.

 

[Monocrom]

I guess the older TCs don't have springs?:shrug:

Damn, didn't even think of that possibility. I guess my X3 could be an older one.

 

[dudemar]

Is there a cylindrical piece of metal instead of a spring? I just acquired an older PX1 and that's what it looks like.

Yup, sure does.

Well..... a momentary switch isn't likely to break down. I hope someone finds a bulb that fits the X3. Mine is the one that was only sold through the B&M shops of PL Authorized Dealers. You couldn't get a new one over the internet.

If I decide to send it off to Milky, that's one project that will have to wait awhile.

Hello everyone. Just checking to see if there are any developments on replacement lamps, incandescent or LED for the pentagon X3.
Thanks, David

If you're seriously thinking about throwing it in the trash (or already did), send it to me. I'd be more than happy to pay for shipping, too.

PM sent.

I'm still seriously considering having Milky mod it with a nice LED. Perhaps a P7.

what can i say. i had reversed the battery install and it stopped working. LA was still good i think but not sure.
the more i considered this light and the options available i decided not to keep throwing good money after bad. i would have reconsidered my decission if i felt that someone would like to have it for the price of shipping.
i bought it before i found CPF i think. lesson learned and hard earned.
