I want to add to some Convoy C8 I use at work (the newer model, with the 12 group programable driver) a forward switch so I no longer need to full click and release to turn the light on.
This will be used only with single mode group.
I have been looking for a direct replacement with no luck…
any tips, ideas or links?
wouldn’t the forward clicky interfere with how we change mode in Convoy C8 since half press is basically on, so changing mode can only be done while in off position.
Normally, yes. However, the OP is using a C8 with Biscotti, and plans to set mode group 12, so it will only have one mode (full power). The one potential problem is if he does many momentary flashes in rapid succession and accidentally gets into configuration mode.
Sorry but I don’t see how you made the switch fit on the board? I have the same switch and there’s just no way. The metal pegs on the switch is nowhere close to the original switch.
Ah, yes. After I wrote the comment I had to look again. And it was no problem, however it still isn’t possible I’m my host. The height is the issue now. Even if I just screw the retaining ring on the first thread I pushes all the way through the tailcap. Even after I removed the little raised plastic inside it.
