I'm on the list for a Bugoutgearusa LED drop in for my G2 Surefire /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. I want to use a clickie on it, does anyone know of one that will fit? Is it the same plastic style or metal?
Finally,I'd like a two stage output(think L1/L2-these might even fit?!),is this possible by simple /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif means and can anyone point me to how?
Thanks,Phil. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

L1 will not fit [physically].

I seem to recall some people have made mods that will make the G2 into a clickie by using parts from another switch, there is a thread on it somewhere but you will have to search for it.

I don't think the mod was for a two stage.

Edit: You might want to see if there is anything in the Sandwiche Shoppe, they might have something in there too.

I sent you a PM with some pictures of my G2 clickie that I bought from another member.

Christopher,thanks. Any chance you can post them (or one of them) on this thread so someone can help me identify it?
It looked to me to be the guts from another SF switch put back into a G2 housing.
Can this be done? What donor switch? Ta :)
ps Flashlight OCD,thinking about it,the L1/L2 switch isn't a clickie anyway. I should think THEN type /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Definately do a search for "g2" or "clickie" you'll find what you need. The clickie switch comes from a 2AA garrity flashlight sold at Walmart. I have no clue for your two stage switch, sorry.

I think you have your answer right there.

But since you asked, the clickie is on the left.

did you have to do a lot of modding to get the garrity clickie switch into the G2, I have not modded any of my lights yet but I would like to have a clickie switch on my G2.

I bought a G2 wtih P60 and P61 and both switches from another user. From looking at the switch and the G2 tailcap housing, it doesn't look like anything was modified. There are no areas that look sanded or cut. If they were, it was very well done.

Thanks for the pics Christopher and thanks all for the tips.
Question-where can I get,and how much are "Garrity" AA lights. We don't have Walmart-yet.
Do they (Garrity) have a spares dept?
Thanks,Phil. :)

Found the threads but the question of a spares dept still applies. Meantime I could try a kroll mod...
Isn't the search engine a ***** to use!? Got there in the end. Thanks,Phil. :)

Hey Size15's, what's the deal on that XMxx? What's with the little flippy thing next to the switch?

I mean, not to sound like too much of a rookie, but if I don't ask, I'll never know... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I think that's where you'd attach a pressure switch to use with a tactical mount on a rifle or shotgun. .

The XMxx is a WeaponLight TailCap Switch.
It has a Tape Pressure Switch of cable length xx inches (XM07 =7" cable). The cable can be disconnected and the whole thing is waterproof. The cables are also used on the UMxx and UExx TailCaps.
The push button is a pressure switch which can be clicked on and off.

Righty right Size15. Being a gun guy, I can't believe I'd never noticed something like that.
