Hello all...
First & foremost I would want to say that
**THIS IS NOT A SALE THREAD**
Ok, now with that out of the way...
As most of you should know, I have been making & selling Judco switches for Surefire Z41 tailcaps for quite a while now.
Along the way, i have been experimenting with other stuff like E-Series tailcaps but I did not have much success there.
Unlike the McClicky which is threaded & can be screwed into the E-series tailcap, the Judco switch do not have that & is not able to hold itself into the tailcap.
So I started trying with other stuff & here is what I came up with: a *prototype* Judco 10A switch that is made to fit into a Mac/Hanko/Sigma light.
So why just these lights & not others, say TinyDC? Simple reason: Retaining rings......
I need the retaining rings to hold the switch in place since there are no screw threads on the Judco switch.
Enough said now, here comes the pictures:
1) Side by side picture with the legendary McClicky.
As you can see, alot of manual work have been done.
- Saw the switch into a square shape.
- File the bottom into a round shape
- Flattening the filed area as much as possible (absolute PITA!!)
2) The copper tape & the wire are to create contact with the host.
Like i said, this is merely a prototype so please forgive my crude workmanship.
3) Installed into my Brass 18500 Sigma Custom light:
4) Slight protrusion of the rubber boot as the Judco is taller than a McClicky.
This is after i filed off the top of the switch to shorten it but somehow, it has no problem tailstanding.
So with this installed, I can make use of the full potential of the H17F driver that is installed in my light with no worries the switch will be damaged.
Please leave any feedback that you think may help improve this design.
Thank you for viewing.
