Fenix L2T Standing on its tailcap.

Hi, I think I saw this subject somewhere but can not find it. My L2T Does not stand on its tailcap very well. Very unstable. Is there a trick I can do? Thank you for your help.

Not really, you can screw the switch in more, but then my light became unreliable, so I put it back where it was.

Mine seems fine, sometimes if the Batteries vent it can cause this problem, I have heard of this happening on onother thread,

How do you screw the tailcap in more? Thank you.

On the inside of the tailcap, there are two tiny holes on each side of the ring that contains the switch. You can use a needle nose pliers or something and turn it in a little ways. I think I used the probes on my multimeter to do it.

I don't recommend it though as then it doesn't seem to make as good contact with the body so the light may flicker or fail to come on.

Mine will stand up the way it is, just it's a little wobbly like yours.

(shrugs) mine stands on my cap just fine. Not sure what the problem is. Is there something sticking out? or is the tailcap not flat?

Mine's not too keen on tail-standing either; way too easy to fall down with the slightest bump of the table. I wonder what would make a good quick and easy stand for it?

Actually, you screw it out. No? :laughing: The switch plate that is. Unscrewing it some will reduce the bulge in the rubber covering the switch so that it doesn't wobble on it. I tried it and I didn't like the way the switch worked after that so I put it back. Mine will standup but leans a little. If yours doesn't standup very well and you want to ceiling bounce it, just stick it in a glass or something.

I had that problem initially as well. I emailed Fenix a few times, and they guided me through disassembling the tailcap. After taking it apart and putting it back together a few times, the problem disappeared. I don't know why, but that was my experience. My L2T is now as stable as can be, and the switch doesn't even come close to touching the surface on which the light is tailstanding.

I might have to disassemble the switch further and see if this will be the case. For some reason the switch buldges out beyond the tail end of the light on most units.

I disassembled the tailcap completely. It wasn't too much trouble.

This problem is a bit of a bummer, but luckily, all it requires to fix is a bit of fiddling.

Mine does not tail-stand properly too.
I removed the switch assembly, took the reverse-clickie and then sand down the red button

Don't sand it down too much though. Assemble the switch back to check if it's okay. If not, remove it and sand it down some more
