As indicated in an earlier post, I'm interested in a decent 2-stage LED light and am considering the SL TL2 and the SF L1. However because I'm cheap, an engineer and a male, I thought I'd look and see what I could do with my Q3. Those of you who have removed the PCB from the tail cap know there is hole for a third pin from the push button and a spot for a resistor (RX). The unused hole for the button connects directly to the center pad (spring connection) while the present pin goes through Rx which is jumpered. I got to thinking (generally dangerous) that there must be a ON-ON-OFF or ON-OFF-ON-OFF equivalent part for the button. Here are links to the ON-ON-OFF and the ON-OFF-ON-OFF
parts. As you can see the BPS-38D03 would be a drop in replacement. Then you would replace the RX jumper with whatever value you wanted for your low-beam. The only problem with this plan is I have no idea where to get these switches. I didn't get too many hits from Google for Switch Hill. I was hoping some of you modders might know of a source for these switches or a compatible part. For grins here's the link to the SPST that comes in the Q3.
Let me know if I'm all wet or this is possible. Also I'm sorry for not including any photos. If you have seen the switch PCB the above discussion will make more sense.
