I hate parasitic drain. So I'd like to stay away from them as much as possible, especially for a AA or AAA light. just a good old mechanic tailswitch for me please. ;)
The other 2xAA light thread got me thinking. Any chance Jaxman would be interested in working together with BLF on a light? The M2 is pretty well received and he is definitely ‘one of us’.
We might look at this project. This would be a budget light so there would need to be some volume of sales to help hold down costs. Lets put together a reasonable wish list. This has been talked about forever. Let’s do it!
There was also an Eveready with this form factor.
Very good backup lights when I was doing a lot of cave crawling.
Driver designers take note — This kind of thumb-pushed side switch can move both forward and backward from the neutral point.
Or go in 4 directions as on many cell or wireless phones.
That would allow more possible signal combinations.
I’d live to see a modern version along these lines.
