PT Attitude switch question

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I have had a PT Attitude for about a month now and it has become a favorite because of its small size, brightness, and battery life. I spray painted the outside of the LED module to reduce the amount of light that goes back into the battery case - that worked pretty well.

I feel silly about this, but I can't see how the switch works. It seems that the battery contacts are always in contact with the battery. So, why does screwing down the bezel make the light go on? If the answer is really obvious, please be gentle.

you bird brained fool! dolt! peawit! simpleton!
seriosely, if you look on the bottom of the module you'll see the metal plate that pushes against a post in the light

Aha!

Thanks, Aragorn. Now I see.

I guess I have to take back everything I ever said about you.

 

[TrevorNasko]

you said things about me?! what did i do?

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Relax! I was just continuing with the joke. See, I asked not to be reamed and you promptly reamed me. So...

You're a helpful and knowledgeable flashaholic - I couldn't say anything but good things.
