Had a quick question about the spring on the bottom side of the BOG module. With the spring attached, I cannot get the light to come on in a new 6P LED version or a G2. However, with the spring off, it would light up. What is the spring used for and is it needed? Thanks

I don't use the spring for mine and I've never had a problem.

The G2 does not use the Spring. I'm not sure about the 6P but I believe its the same.
In some G2's and 6P's you have to unscrew the brass heat sink 1/4 to 1 full turn to make contact.

Yes, the 6P does use a spring on the incan. My original P60 incan is now sitting in one of my Maxfire's.

I use it in the 6P Defender. I use only the inner spring. works fine.

I use a P60 drop-in in a 6P but removed the outside spring and it works just fine. No problem!

The only time that I have to use the spring with the BOG Q5 is in my E2C.

Ask Bugoutgear, but i think the spring is used for other apps like the M2 mentioned. Ive never needed it

Sorry for the late reply...
The spring is intended for older model Surefire flashlights like the round body 6p, 6Z, etc. It is also needed in an M2. If it works without it, then there is no reason to use it.
Hope that helps,
