Based on the recent threads on the Bushnell multi level light,
I felt I had to have one. Well it showed up the other day and I was fairly impressed for a store bought light. On high, it is brighter than my BOG 3 watt. I think there should be more difference between the 3 levels but I guess that is a personal thing. I decided to have a look-see inside so I got out the screwdriver and went to work.
The overly complicated tail cap:
I measured about 6.5 ohms resistance across the switch circuit. I'm not sure if this because of the find it feature or just a bad switch. Later I am going to clean and apply some Pro Gold to it and see if that fixes it. I may disable the find it feature based on the warning thread by toomannygizmos.
Now to the top end. The reflector and Bezel/window:
The Star:
Got lucky on this one. One of my favorite tints.
Rotary switch and driver assy:
The rotary switch needs some lube or Pro Gold or something as it is dry from the factory.
And finally...
None of the screw together joints had any sealant on them. Everything came apart very easily.
I may experiment and see if I can figure out which resistors control the different levels and change them to suit my needs.
Overall, I think I'm going to like this one.
