Fenix T1 switch problem

Vbeez · May 28, 2010

I have switch problem with my Fenix T1 and it flickers on high. When I directly connected the board to power supply the flickers gone so it might be contact issue. Sending the light to manufacturer is too costly.
So where can I buy switch replacement ? How to open the head ? Boil it ?
Have anyone try to replace the emitter with XPG ?
Thanks

Email the manufacturer, just ask them to sent you a new switch.

Is the switch retaining ring securely in place?

The head will open with brute force!

Just unscrew the two parts and the bezel, try to not bending the clip.

I replaced mine with a R2 and a driver to take 17600.

Yes, I managed to open the switch but dunno how it works so I put it back together. Problem still there.

I'll try that. Maybe boiling it will ease a bit

Is the flickering the same as if the batteries were dead / can't take the current in Turbo mode anymore?

Yup. I managed to fixed it by cleaning all contacts, no more flickers.
Until I get new switch, it's a T1 twisty......
