Flashlight Enthusiast
all items are now sold.....I will accept your interest though for a second run....this may happen some time from now, pending availability of parts (not forseeable)....
I have received 10 switch PCBs and a good amount of KD Forward Switches to mount onto them....This is actually a first/trail run.
This sale is a Drop-In Switch for the Solarforce L2 and many more flashlights
Ultrafire/Superfire WF-501, Ultrafire C2, Ultrafire L2/503/504, Spiderfire xO-3 and many more… (See the Compatibility section below)
The switch itself is used by Fenix, JETBeam and Dereelight among others, and I feel it has proved its reliability. I have measured 3.3A current on it, another member has reported 3A, had no complaints from local guys using them, and as a matter of fact I have run an MCE/18650 to depltion with this switch.
The switch does NOT exhibit the flashing phenomenon where upon the click-on action it flashes.
small update....I dared to put these switches in a Mag85 (Soalrforce/FM D26 G4 bi-pin adaptor).Lighted up & worked fine
addition 06/11: I think this is the most straightforward switch mod...While other methods need some tinkering, this is a drop-in cos it maintains the original tailcap structure...
For more info on this Mod please see this and this
Price
SINGLE item price is 5 Euros and PAIR price is 10 Euros.
Due to the small value and the value/postage ratio I suggest buying TWO of them.
5 euros are about $6 at the moment. Current rate can be seen here: http://www.xe.com/
Postage & Packing Cost is
2 Euros for Regular Airmail (all destinations)
4.50 Euros for Registered Airmail (Europe)

Switch & Installation Instructions
When you start with a Solarforce L2 Tailcap, it is like this
Then you replace the red underlined parts with the supplied ones.
Item Consists Of
Forward Switch mounted on 20mm PCB
Special Prepared Bootie (GITD with post removed). (Please tell if you have to have Black or Orange, my supplies are limited)
Spacers (necessary for non-standard applications)
Installation Instructions
You will need needle nose pliers or strong tweezers to start the retaining ring moving.
Then you gently push the original switch out, install first the new bootie and then the case and switch itself. You finish by dropping in the thin shim and screwing down the retaining ring.
Compatibility Issues
The PCB mounted FWD switch can be placed in any Solarforce L2-sized or bigger flashlights that use a retaining ring.
That excludes the Ultrafire/Superfire C1 that has the tailcap innards in a single screw-in unit.
Most Chinese flashlights use a case to properly locate and align the switch both for length and for tilt… It is shown in the pics above (center).
Tailcaps that do not use this, can have the switch installed if a spacer is used. It matches the internal tailcap diameter (to control tilt) and it is the light blue one shown in the pic below….
The extra metallic spacers are used to control switch height and contact with the rubber bootie.
edit: Also please tell if you are using a Solarforce L2P. Or an Ultrafire 504, Its case is a bit different. I will supply a new one.
Extra Service
2 out of the 10 PCBs accept a TWO-STAGE SWITCH (Resistored).
If you wish I can make the mod. Switching Sequence is Off-High-Low.
Please contact me for more details. (Unless you know the resistor value and watt rating beforehand, you MUST inform me of your driver type*, battery type, and wished for output).
Probably NON-SMD resistors will be used
(* this is because NON-PWM Controlled Drivers exhibit Considerable TINT SHIFT on low levels, like the AMC7135 based drivers)
Ordering Process
You check what others have bought.
You pick available numbers from the list below, and post you pick for othes to know.
If you have questions Hold payment until details have been worked out,
You inform me of the payment & transaction details. (Please add you CPF HANDLE in the Paypal notes form).
You inform me of the flashlight to be installed.
For those that will opt for the two-mode switches.
Make your pick (to reserve the PCBs).
Hold payment until details have been worked out.
For those that wish for more than 2
Make your payment for your pair of switches.
Please wait some time for unbought/unreserved items.
Paypal the value of the extra switches ONLY (NOT OF THE POSTAGE) and inform me of.
For those that Missed Out
Please state your interest in this thread for me to consider a second run.
