i was cleaning up my room and found my mechanical force guage which i use to measure trigger pull weights and thought why not measure some of my flashlight button pressures. so here goes.

hds u60xrgt .9 lbs
2x123 tube .9 lbs
gladius 1 lb
a2 leds 2.1 lbs
a2 incan 3.1 lbs
l1 low 2.0 lbs
l1 high 3.1 lbs
e2e 1.2 lbs
e2e click 4.1 lbs
m6 1 lb
inova x5 3.1 lbs


i then thought id measure the button distance to on with a caliper but thought that might be going too far. i have too much free time.

It's pretty cool and useful data, I have hand/wrist pains and I always wondered how many pounds of pressure it takes to operate an A2. Thanks!:goodjob:
