Mine arrived yesterday, of course I’m unlucky…
Switch does not always respond to the click
If only I knew how to get that retaining ring off 
Is it threaded or is it press fit? I don’t want to damage it even more so just let me know what tools should I use to do that 
It’s threaded, RH threads. “lefty loosy”.
Any hint how to do that? The only thing I can think of would be rubber ball for opening watches but unfortunately don’t have one lying around.
Soz for probably super basic questions but I’m more of a knive guy, never disassembled any light (but seeing how many people have problems with this particular one I’d prob do better work 
)
That sux… 
… Did you get yours from Neal or Banggood?
Unless I missed someone, I count 10 people to date who have posted about switch problems. They are….

Anyone else having any type GT Mini switch problems besides the people I mentioned above??
It’s threaded?? I thought it was a ‘press fit’.
I got mine from Neal and although the switch works fine, the green LED functions intermittently.

… I added you to the list. :+1:
Do you mean it flickers when it should be steady? Like it’s connections are bad?
Keep in mind that it’s controlled by the MCU, so it does turn on and off under certain circumstances.
So sorry! I was thinking about the Sofirn 21700 C8… which IS threaded!
The BLF GT mini has a pressed in switch retaining ring. Again, sorry about that!
What are those certain circumstances??
When the light is turned off the green locator light should remain lit shouldn’t it??
No problem, I was just confused. …
You’ve forgot more than I know… your entitled to a minor ‘slip up’ now & then. 
…
Not necessarily. You can ramp it up or down and then turn it off while it’s flashing the 1 or 2 blinks and it will turn the side switch off temporarily.
Some people have thought the switch light is supposed to be on all the time regardless of the main light being on or off. I was just making sure illuminos knew that it doesn’t stay on all the time. I’m wondering if his side light turns on or off or flickers by itself without him touching the switch.
Ok…. but it should stay on when the light is off & the ‘special circumstances’ you mentioned or ‘voodoo’ have not been activated or employed… correct?? .
And if anyone thought it stayed lit whether the light was on or off…… :person_facepalming:
Yes. You can also turn the switch light off in the menu. Someone even said their switch light suddenly started staying off and thought it broke, but a factory reset turned it back on. That was an odd case. I’m just waiting to hear what illuminos is doing.
Some people don’t know. This was common when the Q8 came out. It still surprises some people who have never seen a video of a Q8 or GT or GT Mini.
I rig up my Narsil lights to keep the side switch lights on all the time. I hope I’m not confusing anybody who watches my videos.
Yea, it either flickers or is completely off when it should be on.
That’s how mine started, it would either flicker, dim & fade out, and/or be off when it should be on.
Then the switch itself stopped responding at times, much of the time; when clicked.

/\ …. Thanks X3, list updated. :+1:
