I bought a new Anker Bolder LC 89 Light and the switch would intermittently make contact. They sent me a replacement. Same thing happened. Faulty switch design. Is there a generic push button switch that's simply on and off that I can purchase separately to repair this correctly?

I see several posts about modes. The led driver counts clicks from the tail button. Basically, the modes are in the head. The tail just sends the same signal over and over every time you click. The driver counts clicks or half presses to determine what mode you should be in.

Very good presentation and if I politely suggest that Nyogel 760G is a great lubricant that is safe with all O-rings just apply to your valuable flashlights to the treads and the inside of the contacts just a very small dab does the job every 4 months to protect your flashlights from corrosion and ease for sound functionality. Around $22 from Amazon but worth every dollar.

Hello @turboBB73 is it possible to edit the mechanical switch in a way that it doesn't "click" any more and gives "momentary only" light? (so pressing the tailcap-button -> light on, releasing the tailcap-button -> light off) If you know how, could you make a video about that? You could make a "theoratical" video if you don't want to "ruin" one of your tailcaps.

Sorry it's been a while but I haven't forgotten this request, just been quite busy. For now, I'd recommend checking out this vid re: clicky pen switch (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKeYgpRooKx_ZpY) since a flashlight clicky switch operates on the same principle. I believe if you mod the switch to shave off the teeth on the cams and guides so it can't latch then you basically have converted the clicky into a momentary switch. If I do manage to find a spare switch I can dissect, I'll post a vid.
@TekyTimbo
@TekyTimbo 2 жыл бұрын
Apologies for late reply, but unfortunately mode switching is done electronically via the circuit board so there'd be no way to mod the switch to disable modes. There are some flashlight circuits that allow you to program them but those are usually high-end or custom lights and most off-the-shelf brands wouldn't support that.

Hey I recently got one of those Bell&Howell Tac Light's. It's just a chinese knockoff with the B&H name imprinted on it. Now that I have one I've been finding them all over the web for 4-7$ same T6 cree LED and all. Either way, I dropped it and now it doesn't go through modes like it used to. It has 5 modes, Hi-Med-Low-Strobe-SOS. Usually cycling the power button goes through each mode just fine but now it won't cycle hardly at all. If I take the tail cap off and use a paper clip to jump from the battery holder to flashlight body it cycles just fine. But the strange thing is, that the switch works like it should, it turns on and off no problem jut won't cycle through modes. But using a paper clip in place of the switch, i can cycle again. Any ideas?

Going to assume you mean the TG06 given there is no TK06 (that I'm aware of) and the TK05 actually doesn't have a tailcap switch. Only thing I can suggest is spraying some WD40 and letting it sit for a while then trying again with the tailcap held firmly by a wooden vice (or using some cloth against a metal vice so you don't damage it). Don't have my TG06 with me atm but on the TG06S, to loosen you twist the brass ring CCW.

@TekyTimbo
@TekyTimbo 2 жыл бұрын
They should go for intensive training and try again when they can lift 100kgs :) Kidding aside, this will be really tough to fix since it sounds like you have severe battery corrosion and the tailcap threads are on the inside thus making it very difficult to get any solvent in there to free it up. You can search for threads around stuck Maglite tailcaps and follow the suggestions (like in this old thread but with still relevant tips: www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/maglite-tailcap-stuck.297146). Or I would just try contacting Duracell directly and mention that you're aware of the class action lawsuit (www.classaction.org/blog/in-the-dark-allegedly-defective-duracell-led-flashlights-drain-batteries-when-turned-off-class-action-lawsuit-claims) and just see if they'd kindly consider replacing your light - there's no guarantee they will but it couldn't hurt.

+kevin balbacal Looks like the upgraded version features 300 lms. The particular sample I received only pumps out ~150lms with LiIon. In your case, I'd recommend the Keep Power 840 mAh 14500 cell. I purchased them off Amazon and they are one of the better 14500 cells out there. I originally selected this cell to pair with the Manker T01 after poring through HKJ's reviews and batter comparator. Sadly it was too long and didn't fit in the T01 but it does work in my T06. I can't imagine that they changed the length of the new version so I'd expect it to work just fine it.

My switch shorted and the flash light would not turn off completely on a NiteCore , 2- AA model. I tested it with an ohm meter and when it was in the on position it would show 100% current and the switch was in the off position it would show 50% current. I guess I'll have to buy the internal switch mechanism for the tail cap switch.

Momentary is only possible with lights that have mechanical switches or electronic switches that are programmed with a momentary mode. It sounds like you have a reverse-clicky switch (light won't come on until after the click), you'll need to swap it out for a forward-clicky switch for your light (if available).

I gutted the tail cap, ten small red wire thru center hole soldered it to the spring that touches the battery, drilled holes and put black wire they hole so it would ground to flashlight body, ends not touching figured I could touch them after putting tail cap back on, but when I screwed cap back on light came on touched wires together nothing, I thought the light woukdnt come on til touched the two wires together. Trying to figure out how light is coming on and how to wire so light won’t come on when tail cap is out on abs touch wires together should come on, I’m smart but this throwing me fir a loop thanks anyone

Idk how legit flashlight companies make any profit nowadays. I say this because you can buy a cree 1000lumen led flashlight on eBay for 5-10 bucks. And it works just a good. I recommend the brand orbtronic 18650 batteries because they last all day long. I really love these cheap flashlights. Get the ones that have a button style tail cap instead of the spring style tail cap. Over time the springs lose resistance and results the light to flicker.

I've tried to fix my leftion switch on my trusty dog walking torch. The workings flew apart when I unsrewed it as the switch was loose. Spent ages trying to put it back together. Failed. To get some enjoyment from the hole sad process, I through it off a concrete wall and then smashed the remaining pieces with my trusty sledge hammer. That thing is f$cked now...proper f$cked! A stroke or a heart attack vs buying a new one from amazon (delivered to your door next day!)....went with the second option. I suggest everyone does the same, your cardiologist will thank you for it!

Wished you would hv shown us dumb asses who hv tried numerous times how you connected the wires inside. I think I understand what you did m.(laying it against the side of casing and glued. But I drilled. Diagonal 1/16" hole into inside lip on mine and tinned the wires after I. Ent thin in half doubling the thickness and built up the wire with solder and pushed into hole. Other wire I soldered wire onto spring and used. jB weld to hold the spring in place. Hopefully I have the wires connected correctly cause polarity matters when using led lights. Before I had wire just forced Btwn cap threads and light stayed on always. Hopefully I had polarity backwards. Had a red wire and white wire coming out of pigtail. I used a bought pigtail and cut the cap off because it would not fit my light I am using a light just like yours. If not I guess I'll cut the wires on the outside and swap the around and head shrink the wiring do t know what else to do. I e typed everything into phone to Try and find how to wire pigtail into flashlight End cap thanks

Try reaching out to the manufacturer of your light; however, many lights use similar switches so you might be able to utilize a similar one from a different brand. Which model do you have?
