I think this is about the tailcap, not the bezel. Mine came loose with needlenose pliers (I have one that I sanded the tips more pointy to fit in small holes), fairly easily, sounds like you have less luck.
@djozz—My retaining ring pliers just couldn’t get enough purchase. I’ll try it your way when I get a chance. Thanks.
@mitsuki08—I’ve read freezing can help as the aluminum contracts slightly. Didn’t work for me.
@Skylight—Thanks. Yeah, I had no problem getting the bezel off.
@cabfrank—I put in a 50.2 emitter and want to bypass the tail spring.
You are right. Sorry, didn’t read accurately. :person_facepalming: :zipper_mouth_face:
Candor, you could carefully put your tailcap in a vise and try to unscrew the retaining ring with a small crosstip screwdriver in each hand. But be warned, you will most likely scratch your retaining ring with this method. 
Can anyone confirm that the retaining ring is not reverse threaded like in the Convoy S2+ and C8+? Because then more force would be useless.
The tail cap retaining ring is put in extremely tight. I used a small jewelers screwdriver at an acute angle in one of the holes and whacked it til it gave up. I’ve had a couple that would surrender to brute force but that last one had to be beat on…
A green scotchbrite pad from painting sector of hardware store was good enough to take down the rough spots on the bare AL tube I got. You can still see some burs under a macro lens or looking very closely but none stick up so you cant feel any of them afterward. Mission accomplished, feels better in hand.
Quick question, I just got the D90V2 and I’m wondering if it’s any good as a weapon light for an AR, any thoughts?
Thx!
One way to find out. From what I know of the construction it should withstand the recoil without problem
Iam trying to figure out if I have the light on five modes does it have turbo?
It depends on which 5 mode group. For example group 5 and group 15 yes, group 14 no.
There’s also options which function as 5 mode but are really 4+moon and those can be the same as above.
Confused yet? Just set it to group 5 with moonlight off and you’ll have a 5-mode light with turbo in the main sequence.
I think right now I have it set at mode group 4 which is 5 modes with moonlight. this Is the most confusing ui that i have seen.
Fixed that for ya.
Group 4 is 4 mode but you have moonlight enabled (a stand alone option) so it functions as 5 mode. Either way, yes turbo is in the main sequence.
I am very inexperienced doing mods but I was curious if there would be any possibility of doing a lighted switch for the D80V2? I love mine, just want to jazz it up a bit.
you may look into my lighted tail boards
atm in lack of a sample I can make no decision if one of my board sizes fit or not replacing the washer
technically it’s no problem to add a bleeder resistor to a Bistro HD OTSM driver, the timing will always work for short and medium presses
That would be a great addition to a great light.
The lighted tail is a nice idea, I will have a go too. Not straightforward is that the tail cover is 12mm instead of the common 14mm or 16mm, and I have not found a clear one anywhere. I did find orange on aliexpress and that works nice at least with red tail leds.
There is less space in the tailcap as well due to the use of the large Omten switch rather than the small one, this also creates a slightly different layout.
A heads up to anyone using a protected battery- check the length. With a keeppower 3500mah 1865J when tighten down the tail cap the springs bottom out and the tail switch retaining ring bites into the battery and splits the wrap
I will post pictures when I get a chance.
I have large switch hole for Convoy L6 and one between the 1288 and big L6 switch
But so far I have no D80v2 to take measurements if one and which fits
