Stainless C3 WH Emitter + Forward clickie?

I got my C3 yesterday, and it is great! I like it a lot and it seems to be pretty well put together. Unfortunately I am not completely satisfied with some of the parts inside, like the tailcap switch, and the pink emitter. Otherwise it's a nice light.

So does anybody happen to know if anyone offers a forward-click tailcap switch that would fit in the Stainless Ultrafire C3? I also plan on changing out the emitter with something nicer, like a Cree Q5 WH if I can find one, or even a WC. Obviously, an R bin would be better, so if I can find a decent one then so it shall be.

The tail switch module when disassembled is 17mm wide and 20mm long from tip to tip. Here is a picture:



Thanks for your help CPF!

I put in a Q5 on 14mm base from DX in two C3 SS and both had great tints, very similar to my Fenix P3D rebel. Can't help you with the switch though, but I would be interested in that also. Good luck.

Thanks Olrac, sounds nice! I'll have to check it out. It's great how cheap stuff is from KD and DX eh?

Hi CPF, instead of starting a new thread, i hope that OP doesn't mind if i post here as it involves an Ultrafire C3 too.

I own a single mode Ultrafire C3 bought quite a long time ago and since then i have acquired other torches, am a total noob when it comes to electronics and all that but i figured that it's time to start learning.

I wanted to convert the reverse clicky to a forward clicky and up the LED to Cree Q5 (or as OP says, an R-bin would be lovely too), I've got the information for size of the base (14mm) and am hunting down a forward clicky switch.

Can anyone direct me to a driver that would allow me either 2 modes (hi/lo) or even more modes and perhaps even teach a tech-handicap how to connect all these??
