Cree Maglite LED dissasembly

Ok, I've tried looking around to see what size the newer mag with Cree LED switch screw is. The older is a 2m allen head (I think, but allen for sure). I think the newer cree switch is a torx, but not sure what size. Can any one help me out? Thanks.

Re: Cree Maglite dissasembly (found answer)

So, I ordered some cheapo torx set to experiment in the cree mag switch. I ground some down to fit them in the switch hole, after grinding a few down, I decided to sacrifice the switch. I drilled it out and found my answer. It is a T-8

Oh, damn, there is an old thread here somewhere that talks all about it.

I tried looking for something, and of course asking here, but no dice. So I thought I'd share my findings.
