Tell me please, what kind of pencil did you use? I tried Kohinoor 2B, 4B, 6B for these purposes, and there was no result.
I used a simple mechanical pencil lead. If I had to guess, it's probably close to 2B. I colored in the area around the broken trace wire and dumped out any loose particles.

Some classics, the mighty C3 with equally mighty malkoff m91bn and e2 with lumens factory 90 lumen bulb that runs on a 3.7v li-ion.

Elzetta Bravo with M61N and hi/lo tail.

I like Malkoff’s hi/lo head, but there’s something unsettling to me about carrying a light with the head not always tightened down if I want to keep it ready in low position.

Elzetta’s tail cap with the Thyrm clip and O-ring (placed as @fulee9999 suggested) makes for a fully functional hi/lo, solid feel even with it in low mode, and a nice visual/tactile mode indicator from where the clip points.

Bonus knife content (so I can double-post the picture!)

Yeah, I know. Coast doesn't get a lot of love, but there's something to be said for a light that's just there for utility purposes. It's the right size, simple UI, good color, good pocket clip, and (shrugs), I had a gift card.....

I just recently added a Streamlight Microstream to my daily carry. Sometimes I just don't need a HUGE amount of light😉

Agreed. Sometimes, more light is the opposite of what you want! At nose-touching distances, my 250 Lumens of Pro-Tac is way too much! Right tool for the job, again.

The Microstream was one I looked at. Streamlights are just about Goldilocks in every way, but I confess, I hate their pocket clip. Coast makes a good pocket clip, so here we are.

What is that "bullet" style (quick disconnect?) keychain piece connecting the Aurora A4 to your key ring? I need one of those!

I got this thyrm switchback yesterday and it’s a pretty slick device. Equipped on the C2 with M61N and 16650.

Later I’ll go to the hardware store to find a fiber washer so I can tighten everything down real tight and have only momentary like I did with my tactician.
