You all know what a Mc2ES is : a 2-level brighness tailcap that fits avery Surefire E series or compatible ( Aleph , UBH , Barlog etc.) battery tube.
And thats all ?
No ! Here are some ( but not all the ) features :
<font color="red"> 1. </font> 2 colors available : HA Natural and HA Black.
<font color="red"> 2. </font> 2 level switch : when you buy the Mc2ES you have to choose the value of the resistor that is inside the tailcap , Have a look at the end of this page on KJ website to discover the value of the resistor that you prefer , if you prefer a "dim low mode" ( Arc AAA - like ) choose a higer value resistor (60 Hom), if you prefer a low mode that is brighter , choose a lower (15 Hom or 22 Hom) value resistor.
Anyway you can change later the board with the resistor to adjust the low output of your flashlight for your needs .
<font color="red"> 3. </font> 2 mode activation : twist for low level , twist more for full power or push for low level , push more for full power .
<font color="red"> 4. </font> Tailguard : prevent unwanted activation.
<font color="red"> 5. </font> Candlemode possible : use the low level output for hours of runtime.
<font color="red"> 6. </font> Lockout : if you think that the tailguard is not enough you can unscrew the tailcap to prevent unwanted activation.
<font color="red"> 7. </font> Waterproof.
<font color="red"> 8. </font> Disassemble-able : easy service and repair / if you dings or scratch it you can just buy only the exterior of the switch and save money / change the resistor board for a dimmer or brighter low mode.
<font color="red"> 9. </font> 1 hole for a lanyard or a keyring :
<font color="red"> 10. </font> 1 hole for a tripod mount :
<font color="red"> 11. </font> 1 hole for a En-Tab add-on : secure clip to a belt-clip or to a wall-mount / anti-roll device / better grip / syringe-mode possible.
<font color="red"> 12. </font> Optional tritium vial inserted : easy locator in total darkness :
<font color="red"> 13. </font> Buy ( at the Shoppe ) only the internal 2-level switch and install it in your Z57 or Z52 or E2Defender tailcap , see the instructions on KJ Website.
<font color="red"> 14. </font> Buy a turnkey unit from McGizmo or build it yourself using the kit that you can buy at the Shoppe.
<font color="red"> 15. </font> Can be trasformed in a clicky switch ( ask McGizmo to do it for you /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )
I think that there are more features ... find it by yourself, i can't do all the work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whoopin.gif.
After some weeks of use, i can say that this tailcap has been build with top-quality materials and the look and finish match very well the Surefire torches.
But BEWARE ! If you buy one you can't go back using your old tailcaps , you will have to buy others for every SF-E series (Led) you own.
I was happy with my Z57 Z52 etc., when i received my Aleph1 ( with the Mc2ES ) i had to try the Mc2ES with my L4 , now the Z57 is stored in a drawer.
Thats all ..... wait a second ... another /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif for McGizmo.
