Hi, i have been reading a bit about lights with QTC pills, and while the operating time of the material is more than enough, one always looks for ways to make it last longer.
1000 operations on full compression are interesting, but with a momentary switch its harder to control the compression, so its use would not be comfortable nor efficient, and it will definitely last less.
I was thinking that since that is the case and that when one uses the momentary switch its only for a moment (Obviously), would it be a useful idea to make the QTC models with a momentary that bypasses the pill and just makes contact another way?
The light will be useful as an efficient ramping twisty with the QTC, and quick to turn on for momentary full when needed with the switch, without reducing the life of the pill.
I am looking to buy a AA light soon so El Capitan has been my choice after reading about the QTC, the momentary, while useful, is not vital in my case, but surely would like to use it without reducing the QTC pill life.
