OK, an awful lot of people seem to complain about switches on their lights. Take the Arc 4 (please, rim shot), actually, I'm sort of happy with the Arc 4 switch but it's way way more complicated than it needs to be. It's kinda like having sex in a hammock. The SureFire L2 is another good example of a complicated switch.

What is so freaking hard about making a reliable multi-function switch with a wiping contact that can handle a couple of amps and is smaller than a Boeing 747???

Please explain in vivid detail /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I looked in the karma sutra manual and did not find "Arc4 Switch..." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Hehe, Atomic6 , it's because you haven't a good Karma, try to search in the Kama sutra /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

Hello Phyotonian,

Having experienced both sex in a hammock and multi function switches, I fail to see the similarities. My vote goes for fooling around in a hammock...

You can always spot the folks who've been doing it in a hammock because they're smiling while constantly b!tching about back trouble.

Talk about hijacking a thread! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
