Longbow?? Clicky vs. Twisty

Hey all,
I've got a Longbow eco with a clicky switch, kind of a huge switch if ya ask me! Anyway, how much smaller, if any, is the twisty?? If it is smaller, I thinks I'll get me one. I've been trying to dump the eco, just too big, maybe I just need a twisty?? Your thoughts?? Doug /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well, the twisty is about .6 inches smaller.

I actually prefer the twisty by the huge margin.

Twisty is MUCH less stiff

I have a Micra which I much prefer with the twisty
because of the smaller form factor. Also it is a lovely smooth action.

I prefer the clicky... because I dont have the twisty /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. And I get faster function.

Does the clicky have momentary? Useful that.

yes it does.

The clicky is a simple Kroll in a metal sleeve. I really like it: It's fast, the switch itself is easy to maintain if needed and as easy to replace in case of total failure. Best of all, the amount of pressure needed to activate it is easy to adjust. I don't have a twisty and I'd like to try it sometime, but the cliky in this light is one of my favourite switches in all my lights.

chrisse,
How do you adjust the switch to make it easier to turn on? Thanks in advance, mine is hard to push!! Doug /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

mine is hard to push too, but I like that because I usually use momentary.

That's easy, simply unscrew the tailcap and push out the "switch assembly". You'll now have the switch itself inside the metal sleeve and the rubber boot. Now simply unscrew the switch a little and put everything back in. You may have to play a little with the position of the switch in the sleeve but it should be easy to find a solution that works for you.

Cheers, Chrisse
