Nitecore IFE1......... Any way to modify the tail switch so that it will tail stand?

timo54321 · May 23, 2011

I just received my Nitecore IFE1 today. I'm very happy with the quality and the features that is offers. My only complaint is that the switch sticks out about a 1/16 to far to make it tailstand. Is there any way to modify that switch? Thanks

I can't believe they messed this up! Such a simple stupid mistake!

FYI i tried my spare nex boot which is snug on the switch, still not perfect though.
Im actually guna make it more tactical and i am grinding the surround off.

keep in mind that dropping a light on the switch will kill it in most cases (mechanical clickies at least, the electronic ones should be fine), which I believe is the reason nearly all manufacturers add protruding parts at the tailcap.

when the fenix T1 was new there was a whole lot of torture testing, including repeated dropping,and once the teeth at the tailcap were gone the clickie wouldn't live long.
