Looking to ad wireless remotecontrol switch to a tail cap

I need a wireless remote control (very small) to ad to the tail cap of a Surefire 6LP LED flashlight

I need a source, where to buy, etc.
I plan to incorporate it to the tail cap (or over the tail cap) so I can operate the light by remote from a great distance (100 feet)

Thank you for your suggestions

Heck, ill bump this up and subscribe just to see why exactly you have the need to run a 6P from 100 feet away!

Add a better 315mhz antenna for better range perhaps


Google for "wireless relay" for similar devices


These are really well designed

I should add that getting 100m reliably from a small coil antenna is unlikely in the real world, you could look at the base modules from that last supplier and building up something more custom. It's only a matter of adding a relay driver to the output and some whip antenna's

It will have a novel application in the paintball games I play

The one you suggested is similar to the one I bought from Dino Direct, here is the link

The problem with that model I have is that they need a power source of 12 volts just to move the switch (I did ad the power source of 12 volts) BUT the unit is just momentary, when you press the button on the remote it just let electricity from the flashlight pass for a fraction of a second, unless you keep pressing the momentary switch for a long period.
What I need is a click on/off button and no 12 volts power source to ad to the gadget

Cabela's used to sell tree stand light locators which activate at a distance of 100 feet or so when you pressed on the remote button, those units used to sell for about $30, light and all.

I need that kind of remote control.

You can't really get away from a 12v supply for this
