Lumintop Tool Copper with electronic switch

Oooh that looks nice!

:+1:
Very Nice!

If they had that as solution/option I would have one of those as well, just got my very “cute” ti and that got drafted by my wife for handbag duty :slight_smile:

That’s really neat! I’ve just been using the Ti tailcap on the Cu Tool, but your solution is much more elegant. Finally a use for my misshipped Cree Ti Tool, thanks!

That is a cool switch, but my understanding is that the UI is the same whether you use the e-switch or regular clicky switch, so are there any practical advantages to using the e-switch?

Yep, the UI is in the driver, but I at least prefer the sharp clicky feel of the Ti switch. Plus it of course enables tail standing.

Absolutely right :+1:

I do like that e-switch on the Tool Ti better. I’ll have to keep this mod in mind :slight_smile:

Today I grind the top of the tailcap a little bit more and smoothing the edges. Feels more comfortable now when you use the switch and works better with a thick thumb :laughing:

This is what I used for the grind work with 80 and later 600 sandpaper.



Does it have a tiny button cell battery or am i mistaking?

Yes, the e-switch has a little battery or capacitor build in.

Much better :+1:

It is not a battery but a capacitor.

I use the copper switch on the Ti.

And again, today I grind the top of the tailcap a little bit more and smoothing the edges again. Now its perfect :slight_smile:

And……perfect tailstand.

Well done! :+1:

Looks great!

I do wonder if the manufacturer themselves understand what a attractive option the copper version would be modified like this?

If it was sold like this I would have bought it already :slight_smile:
Or a lamp with a conversion kit if there was one, not to fond of the original switch implementation on the non ti’s.

Woow, hi there… compliments and congrats :partying_face: !!
For exactly same purpose i ordered several myself :smiley:

That brings me to ask: is there a thread about negativ ordering experiences somewhere?

Clearly your mod should be the standard :stuck_out_tongue: :+1:

Thanks for sharing the process of your improvements
and for illustrative pics :open_mouth:
Amazing :exclamation:

Sub’ed.
Will do this hack after I got another switch :smiley:

But where does one get another switch?

Yes. Looks awesome!
