SolarForce L2M how to de-activate switch?

mickeyjr308 · Feb 26, 2017

Hi All,
I have a Solarforce L2M flashlight with a P60 Cree XPG2 module running a 18650 protected battery. The issue I have is if you just touch the switch the flashlight turns on, what I would like is as my SF C2 flashlight is to be able to un-screw the switch cap a few turn and de-activate the flashlight for pocket or backpack carrying and not having to worry about the flashlight turning on. I have tried clicking and unscrewing the cap but no luck. Any suggestions?

Thank You In Advance,
MickeyJr308

I believe you are referring to the term "lock out" to prevent accidental switching on of the light.

Unfortunately for Solarforce host/tailcap, there isn't a lockout capability as the threads are not coated..

Some ways to get around this issue is to remove the battery from the light or get a shorter battery/switch spring that will create a gap when the tailcap is unscrewed a few rounds.

Hi DellSuperman,
Thank You for the information good to know, Are there any P60 style hosts that can be locked out? Just wondering for my next build.

My copy of the Solarforce P1D host is able to perform a lock out...
