Is there a single mode high only Peak Eiger available? No QTC. Works with AAA alkaline producing max output without destroying battery. Run time not important. Thanks.

I didn't see that option i n Peak website. I will check Overready. Thanks!

Or just have me take one apart for you,I seem to be able to kill the QTC with no prior training required!We can make any light without the QTC .. there is a comment section in the order process .. make a note that you would like it Non QTC or contact me directly at [email protected] .. we will take care of it.
Best,
Robyn

It seems to me that if you simply remove the QTC material then it will just be a single level full output at whatever the head is designed for?
Mine sure is that way now that I have lost the QTC blob.
I still can not understand why this QTC thing is being made to seem so complicated?
I can not get a direct answer from anyone that sells the lights about simply getting another QTC piece for the one that I lost?
Why exactly do I need to send the light in to replace a tiny rubber blob?
It sure came out easily enough on its own but Robyn told me it might need machining somehow to replace it,ANYONE?
I think she would like you to send in the battery carrier because:
you had trouble before hand
they want to make sure the QTC pill fits properly
I did not have trouble beforehand.
The whole assembly came out when I tried to get a look at it so I could know how it went together for another light I am having trouble with.
The pill came apart and the QTC went missing in that process.
I want to be able to do this myself for many reasons and I am not ready to send both lights in for such a seemingly small issue.
I am a Technician and Hobbyist and do not want to have to rely on anyone to keep things going if possible.
I have QTC material coming in that I found elsewhere and I will report back with the results.
What is the highest peak level number representing output that can safely be used with alkaline and lithium primary? In 219 B and XP-G2 neutral what would output of each be at that level? Is there a link showing the keychain model with momentary on plunger? Can that model still be attached to a keychain? If this is the wrong thread for these questions please forgive me and direct me to the right thread? Thanks so much.
Do you know the amp draw of level 8 or approximate runtime on AAA? It's OK to use right until battery is dead?I have or have had a few level 8 lights that I wouldn't hesitate to use Alkalines, or Li primaries in. If there was ever a light that will suffer minimal damage even if the battery leaks, it's a single level Peak.
QTC is often sold in little squares, a few (3-4?) mm a side. Peak takes this square and punches out a circle, around 2 mm in diameter out. The circle piece is used in Eiger lights and the square with a hole in it is used in Logan, El cap, etc, lights.
The peak pill is 2 metal disks with a cavity in the middle for the QTC. The disks are held together with a teflon (?) washer, which holds the entire unit in the light. The pill is supposed to protect the QTC from excessive wear and tearing. I have found the peak QTC (tried 1.0, 2.0, and limited trial on 2.1) implementation to be mediocre. The QTC material still gets damaged, and the action degrades quickly.
Oh well, great in concept, not great in reality.
