Inova XO & X5 tailcap swap ?

Jett · Dec 23, 2006

The new XO's pressure switch is pretty stiff. Has anybody tried swapping tailcaps with an X5 to see if this improves the feel? Would this be reliable? The XO reflector beam with the lighter X5 switch would be ideal. They look like the same part but I thought I would solicit feedback from the forum for confirmation.

Thanks in advance for your help.

the inova XO tailcap has no spring - it just pushes the cells forward against the spring in the front of the light. swapping tailcaps would make no difference.

imho the inova XO momentary is useless...

Yes, you can swap them, but take heart, the XO switch will loosen up pretty quick. Mine's already as "broken in" as my X5 switch.

It will works but what for as it feels the same (for my X0 and X5).

Thank you for the inputs. I am unfamiliar on the mechanics of the new XO so this has been great info. Best of luck to all and have a great New Year.

Kind Regards,
