Hi geeks!!
I am looking for a more robust way to switch output modes on my 6P and M2. I am currently using a Solarforce multi-mode module and can switch between modes easily. However its not the most reliable setup because it will flip modes with a "whack", or slight impact to the light. I was using the M2 on Friday at work and it would switch modes just by placing the light down on a hard surface... INCREADIBLY annoying to say the least. To make matters worse, strobe is next in line after the 50L low mode :hairpull:
So... I think I will shelve the multi-mode drop in and stick with single mode modules, using a 2-stage tailcap. Currently I am using DX11836, but an M60 is in the future, so the switch should be robust enough to handle ~.65A at 8.4V. I also would like to use P60 incan modules too.
What tailcap would you recommend for a 6P and M2? (TypeII and Type III anodize). I am looking for a ~3-4 hour running low mode and full-power on high.... bipolar extremes if you will.
If you can forward any URL links and additional info that would be GREAT.
thanks in advance!!
