Armytek Tailcaps

Has anyone found a suitable replacement switch that can be used in the Armytek Tactical lights(like a McClicky) as I have had 2 bad caps that don't consistently click on?

Have you contacted them about a warranty replacement?

They replaced one on a light I bought directly from them, but they are such a PITA to deal with. I'd rather fix myself if someone has switch and retaining ring that would fit.

I just ordered two lights from them so I'll keep an eye on this thread. Sorry I can't help

I think mtnelectronics offers a couple of switches that might work for the 3-4V emitter lights.
Might require sanding down the PCB to fit.
Down breathe in the PCB dust.

Order from skylumen. They are called fs4 get the short one and switch only. i have one in my dp xhp35

Thanks for the tip. Did you have to modify the switch at all?

You can order the same part from Mountain Electronics for $2.75 versus $14.00 on Skylumen

Thanks I tried the 20mm switch from MTN but it was too large, I'll try the 17mm, hopefully it will fit.

Ask Richard the max amps those switches can handle. For the newer AT lights with XHP emitters and higher draw, you might need a spring bypass in those switches, if not ruling them all all together.

No it fit fine, i think i left one of the spacers out though. Yes you get a cheaper switch on mountain but skylumen's are modified for lower resistance and higher amperage. The xhp 35 armyteks draw around 6-7 amps, i actually got a few more lux after swapping the switch
