I don't do too many flashlight mods but the Energizer 1W switch was driving me crazy. It was just too sensitive. I came up with this mod and it works fine.
Unscrew the switch body with a thin pair of needle nose or a couple of thin allen wrenches.
Take a single edge razor blade or Xacto knife and cut about an 1/8 inch off the switch actuator. It is hollow so you can fill it with something if you want, I left it alone.
Reassemble in reverse.
This makes for a fine momentary thumb switch but will require you to use your index finger to actuate the switch to the continuous mode. I figured this was an acceptable compromise as I use the light more in the momentary mode than continuous anyway.

John
