and one thing to add about the tailcaps; if you have a newer model (30K serial +) without the model engraving on the body you can get a flat tailcap from lighthound that says 120P on it, (i guess one cool thing about the newer runs hehehe). only you would know the truth mmmwwwaaaahhhhh hahaha!!!:devil::laughing:

OK update on my attempt-last night my battery died in my 120E. I changed the battery and couldn't even turn the light on. :shakehead After much futzing around, I got it to turn on but it was as a 120E (still not bad but now that I've had it the other way I want it back!). So I tried for and HOUR last night to get it to go back and it would not work! I probably clicked well over 3000 times trying to get this to work again. I get up to the options menu and then once I hit the ramping, I wind up turning the light off. I was getting really mad (and sore) so I gave up. Ih honestly think I may have fried the switch, because it's not terribly responsive anymore. 
Maybe I will give it another go today :sigh:

Man, that really sucks. Especially since you got a taste of the P.
But you know what? They make new switches every day.:naughty:
Keep trying, you'll be glad you did. You just need a break from all the clicking.
Do a factory reset, then start over.

After my wife got done laughing and rolling her eyes at me getting more and more frustrated, that's what she said-knock it off and try again tomorrow.
I've been wanting a flat switch anyway :twothumbs

Speaking of switches, is there any place that sells them cheaper than the $19.99 at LightHound?

Send it in to Novatac for warranty and tell them that the switch broke.

Thank you!!
I wish we could find out if the new models can be "unlocked" too. I sure hope so!

Great job on cracking the light...I tip my hat to you! But I have to say, after programing the light in all different configurations, I found that I really like the way my tactical is programed from the factory...its cool to now have the option though.
The Sun,
Where did you get that nice pocket clip? It looks like stainless steel. :thumbsup:

Looks like he polished the OEM spring steel clip. Better watch out for rust
The Sun, I believe that picture would be considered flashlight porn. Naughty, naughty :naughty:

Further update: I got it to work again!! I still think I fried the switch though, as it sometimes does not react to a click (even on or off).
Thanks for that link, The Sun!

I knew you could do it. :twothumbs
no prob. for the link, and yes it's the SS clip polished with a small amount of brasso for protection. i put a little silicon on it once every week or two, just to make sure it doesn't start to pit. i don't think it will be a problem. if you polish it to the point where it looks like it has a coating on it, it will take a lot to stain, or start the rusting process. 350, 400, 600, 1500 grit works perfect with little effort (with a little shot o' oil on the last 1500 step), the coating on all the SS (bezel included) doesn't take much to get off. it looks awesome on the black models, i like the the black clip on the NA HA better though. i'm about to get some Ti, or stainless bezels from RPM soon. i was thinkin of taking a trip to the machine shop next weekend and having some bezels made, something different, but i haven't come up with the design yet. something that has the same profile as the tall RPM bezels, but maybe with different crenallations??? who knows!!!
-streetmaster- the first thing i'm doing when i get the new models, is slapping them suckers bezels down on a table and havin me a click fest to see!!!
heres a good pic of the clip (i just like puttin' pic's on here hehehe)

Looking at it and "producing" it are two different things my friend. You took a picture of the NovaTacs "doing it". What's that make you? Shame...:tsk:
hey, LLCoolBeans found out how 120T/P's are made, i'm just the photographer!!! and hey that's nature...it's a beautiful thing!!!:laughing:

Haha! :laughing: Ok, just wanted to make sure you weren't forcing them to "do it". Flashlights have rights too ya know.
Hey, maybe you could get a NovaTac and a SureFire together and see what happens? :devil:
A little wine, candlelight...
