Stupid clicky question

djdawg · Dec 12, 2013

I dont know where to ask so here seemed good.
Is there a difference in between clicky switches ?
Meaning is 4-7,s better than Jetbeam as far as quality ? for there clicky switch only.
Is McGizmo better than other switches ??
Sunwayman better than Jetbeam .....etc, etc. ??
I need to know if one is better made than another .......
Yes I dont know ........... but thanks for helping .........dj

McGizmo is considered to be the Cadillac, but I've never had any name-brand clicky fail on me. I've had lots of no-name brand clickies fail (xxxfire included), so there's one data point for you. I'm particularly pleased with the newer solarforce, especially for the price. For stoopid durability and reliability, I don't think you can beat a surefire twisty.

The only switch I've ever had fail, including a bunch of cheap no-name switches, is McClicky...

Haha.. Same for me, one of my McClicky just failed me.
But they are still quality products.

Hey guys, is that because you are using them in high amp lights?

Perhaps for me, because I have 1 direct drive XM-L2 but the rest are less than 5A.

i have a 4-7,s Quark AA-2 that all of a sudden quit working ............I can touch the batt to the body and it lights up
Ive cleaned it tighten the .....everything.
Iam waiting on a response from 4-7,s ...........I sent them an email asking what they can do.
I hope they have good customer service.
Out of curiosity ......... can I buy an after market switch for it ?
Say from illumination supply that would work ??
