Only one I'm aware of is the Preon 2 cap

but that preon 2 cap is just on top of the rubber boot underneath. would have been sweeter if there was some o-ring protection instead of a rubber boot underneath, but the IPX8 rating would definitely be compromised.

Metal only tail cap button means NOT waterproof. Waterproof IPX8 is one of the selling points of the high end lights.

I dont think he means metal only, just an exposed metal button instead of a rubber boot over the plastic switch. Every decent manufacturer I'm aware of who offers metal switches use a rubber boot underneath for water tightness.

I looked for them on sites like amazon and eBay but did not find. Can you name some manufacturer you are talking about.
