I use Surefire z68 tailcaps that I modify to be momentary only. Pretty easy mod to do. There was a video on the tactical response channel that I learned from. You can also see the mechanism the click style switches use by taking apart a typical clicky pen. There are four protrusions on part that sticks out the end of the cap (the piece you actually depress). Cut those off and your tailcap will no longer click into the on position. If anyone is interested, I can toss together a quick video showing the process within the next few days

Arisaka is the gold standard for the legacy Surefire pattern lights nowadays. They use Malkoff heads which are workhorses with good runtime/output balance, and they are relatively low-current, meaning they don't need special switches or batteries for full performance.

TLDR: Parts may be "compatible", but Surefire isn't supporting or condoning the use of aftermarket accessories. I received a defective Surefire UE tail cap with my Modlite PLHv2 package. The light kept actuating under recoil and remained stuck in the on position. When I removed the tail cap it had an audible rattle and the terminal seemed loose. I contacted Modlite and they said I needed to return it to Surefire. Surefire said their tail caps are not compatible with non-Surefire products, but would look at it. A few weeks later, they returned to me with a note saying it's fine (it isn't). In the meantime, I had bought another Surefire tail cap. It doesn't rattle and it works fine. So in summary, I'm out $60 because I bought a defective Surefire product from Modlite. Heads up if you intend to mix and match.

The black magic is probably just a solid state relay (i.e. a transistor) of some type. The tape switch provides a small voltage or current to the transistor, which then switches the load internally. This is how it should have been from the start.

It's straight-forward circuitry to add a mosfet into the tailcap to handle the switching of much higher amounts of power, the general problem once you do this is parasitic drain. It's usually nano-amps, which is going to be pretty tolerable in most cases, but it will never be zero.

​@@twiggybones7040 Yeah dawg, that's why I'm keeping it in my wallet and not buying 10 $450 flashlights. Some guys on various flashlight subreddits have said the weapon light industry is full of shit about a number of aspects of these lights. For example Cloud Defensive claims a certain amount of lumens/candela but you only get that brightness for the first minute or so. This is true with all the high end lights like modlite, surefire, and cloud. I wish I could find the thread I'm referring to, it was actually pretty interesting. Oh, also if you're using a tape switch a lot of them won't give you the manufacturer's quoted output. I think this is mainly true for the super bright modern lights not the previous generation.

Im like a month into running them and love the so far. lack of power drop is clutch. and you still get clicky cap performance in addition to a switch.

I dont know guys, surefire has let me down countless times, sent in more lights for repair than i can count, and still haven't received them after months waiting. I really really want to love surefire but between light cables, rifle lights, handhelds, all failing me, All except my Defender 1k lumen, they've been fragile. Also, i bought all the lights from reputable dealers, none are fake. I'm not even hard on my lights either. Normal EDC conditions. So far Elzetta Bravo and Alpha lights have been much more reliable for me, personally, they also pot all the light heads which seems to have helped significantly.

The pro mount is the most disappointment I have had with a weapon light. Close second was the plugable pressure pad on the streamlight hl-x. I had a Chinese scout pro clone on a 22, and the mount was really nice. Cleared iron sights, had the perfect amount of room to swivel in close and not catch on anything. So I got a couple surefire pros for my defense guns. The swivel mount on the pro brought the light in closer than Chinese one did, so I couldn't get it to mount how I wanted and how the Chinese one would to any of my guns. So now I have streamlights and an olight on my rifles and surefires in a box.

Hey AssFacts, I have a question that's kind of region specific. What range would you consider magnification on a rifle/carbine to be mandatory? Over here in the great swamp of Florida, "engagement" ranges are realistically 200yds at most. A more realistic engagement range would be 50-75yds. I can group 4" reliably with an M&P Sport and an Eotech at 100yds (standing while supported), but I honestly don't know if I'd be able to land consistent hits in a scenario where the paper is clapping back. Thanks!

Do you know those shotguns with rib mount over the barrel. I am looking for some offset rib mount for flashlight so need to canted side ways in order to push the button with my thumb but apparently its really hard to find because everyone buy Benelli m4 with longer shell tube and you they just stick something between the barrel and the tube while most shotguns are with shorter tube for 4-5 shots.

So quick question. I’m currently building a sub gun and rail space is very limited I just started getting into NV, don’t have my own but a buddy lets me use his backup set. Can you run a standard tape switch with the km1-e head? Is that head even worth it?

How does the Surefire outperform the Rein? Especially now that Rein's can use surefire switches and caps if you buy the legacy body or buy that $40 adapter. I have a SureFire Turbo, but I'm checking out the Rein's as well because they seem like they are better in every way except durability (we don't really have enough evidence yet to say how durable and reliable the lights themselves are over time. But the testing on their durability has been pretty impressive so far
@BrassFacts

I'm pretty sure the rein doesn't work at full power like the other lights with surefire switches (which is why they refused to integrate surefire compatibility for so long). But the other reason is that the surefire comes out of the box in the same configuration, with a mount. And isn't nearly as LORGE Of the lights though, on raw performance, the Rein and Turbos are very close. It's more of the QoL aspects.
