Klarus XT10 Switch malfunction

Bruno28 · Jun 18, 2013

Hey,

Today i wanted to charge all my flashlights, I keep the Klarus xt10 in my car, only if I need it for any reason.
As i was turning it on, the switch is very sensitive and if i leave it ON and I just touch the switch (without pressing the click), the light flashes and blinks. Seems to have a bad contact or something.
Anyone experienced this?

Seems to have fixed if I really tighten the head!

Check the retaining ring on the inside of the switch. You will see 2 small holes. Find a tool that fits these holes and tighten the ring.

To tighten the retaining ring, you don't have to replace the rubber-cover for the switch.

To remove the rubber cover. Take out the retainer ring. Take out the switch, washer and the rubber cover.

You just need to tighten the inside of the tailcap by inserting the needlenose pliers into the 2 small holes you see in the picture below from another thread.
If you don't have pliers with tips thin enough you can use the scissors from any Victorinox knife - I found they work very well for tightening tailcap retaining rings.
