SUGGESTION FOR A SILENT SWITCH FLASHLIGHT ?

Hi,
I had a thrunite scorpion v2 and it has the right switch for me because it doesn't click and I need maximum silence in my work.
Is there any other flashlights similar to this between these brand : Fenix, Olight,Eagletac, Nitecore ?
I can't find, they all do the click when switch on!
thanks

There are also rotary UI to consider...no clicks.

Any ideas of models ? thanks

Olight ST25 has a silent tailswitch.

Most flashlights with electronic switches are quite silent, so you won't annoy your blind co-workers. Look for any reviews from people complaining about "mushy" switches, those will be very hard to hear.

Hi, thanks, I tried many but all of them did the sound tic-tic when I switch on and with my scorpion it was all silent, so I decided to buy another with the same switch if possible and same power more or less. thanks

momentary switches are pretty silent. surefire's dual-stage momentary switches are very quiet.

You could try a Zebralight SC52-L2 or SC52w-L2. Mine has a soft switch, which doesn't make any sound. I also have an earlier model, the SC52, that has a harder switch which does make a sound, but Zebralight switched to softer switches in the latest models.

For a larger light, I have a Sunwayman D40A that also has a silent electronic switch.

Or, go with a twisty.

Out of curiosity, what happens if there would be an audible click?

Vital Gear switches are silent. They are clickies. Go check them out.

Look at the Elzetta lights

Good call. I was going to suggest a 6P original with a very low power Malkoff drop in (depending on the amount of light needed).

I was just doing that and it shows it in this video:

My Elzettas have differing levels of switch sound output. A couple are what I'd consider silent, a couple are really quiet but audible, and couple sound roughly half as loud as a McClicky .

Ditto. What happens if there is noise? and would the "momentary on" be workable solution?
