Re: Sign up for Nuwai QIII Dual brightness switch

The type that goes low-high-off. I think it is type two. 10 ohm resistor.

Re: Sign up for Nuwai QIII Dual brightness switch

I'll take two of the type that goes low-high-off.

... and the 5ohm resistor will be a brighter "low" than the 10ohm resistor?

If that's the case I'll go with the 10ohm resistor. If I've got it backwards I'll take the 5. I'd like to have the lowest low available.

Yes, you've got it right. The higher the resistance, the dimmer the beam gets. I have mine on a 5ohm resistor and it's still pretty good.

Re: Sign up for Nuwai QIII Dual brightness switch

I'd be interested in switch type #2 but am also wondering if it's a true momentary on or reverse?

The switching circuit does On (1) / On (2) / Off where (1) and (2) are different circuits.

Sorry guys, there is no more On -> On -> Off switch. I just talked with the engineer and demand was low so they don't make them anymore.

Still interested in the first switch?

Guys, this is official opened for pre-ordering of mods. I will notify you when I get the switches. You can then choose to disassemble your tailcap and just send me the PCB or just send me the whole tailcap.

Re: Sign up for Nuwai QIII Dual brightness switch

So, what is the final config of these switches?
Are they momentary on?

I'd like to reserve 1 for $15. Do I send you my entire switch? What is the turnaround ETA?

Re: Sign up for Nuwai QIII Dual brightness switch

The final configuration is on -> off -> on -> off and it's reverse momentary. The switch configuration is actually not bad once you get used to it. Too bad it's not momentary on but low and high light is just great!

Turn around time = time for your switch to get here + 1day mod + time for package to be sent back to you.

If you can open the switch to take out the PCB, that would be great. If not, just send the whole tailcap.
