Unbelievable! Great quality control! Does not sound like an isolated incident, more like a defect.
I think I will sell the light to my cousin Otto just for the LED.
It’s pretty easy to fix but yh it shouldn’t come like that from the factory.
What do you mean when you say we have to “take the rubber out?”,The rubber boot off the switch? A rubber o’ring or something within the switch?
The rubber that covers the switch. It seems like what they’re saying is cut 1mm of the inside part of the rubber that touches the switch.
This is the quote from Duke on TLF:
I shortened the Nubsie in the switch rubber by ~ 1mm, which was too tight for me.
Now it’s better
Have no idea what a Nubsie is. Googled it and it doesn’t seem to be a word in English or german. Well there’s no translation anyway. Maybe it’s a spelling mistake.
Exactly, I pointed out this problem to them on 11/3/19 on Post # 152 before the 2nd batch was sent out.
I have yet to hear a response. In the mean time, I’ve been reading some comments that Neal doesn’t answer his emails.
You need to contact him through FB, but he may or may not reply. I find that a little disturbing.
What’s going to happen if you get a defective unit and you need to get the issue resolved.
If someone doesn’t respond to a inquiry that would lead to a potential sale, I would think it would be a nightmare if you need to make some sort of claim for a replacement or refund.
I agree. For me, I would just take the loss even though I do not want to. It would NOT be worth the frustration in waiting for a response. If he does not answer simple questions from many of us, why would we expect him to respond when a light has an issue?
This is my first experience with a GB with him,and most assuredly my last.
Or you could pay via paypal and open a dispute if the seller doesn't reply. That usually motivates sellers quite a lot...
A Nubsie is a little rised pin or a very small button, in this case, inside the rubber cover.
Take the Rubber-Part of the Switch out. Press it fully, that the cylinder-part comes out and shorten it a bit.
Look at the picture at kaidomain
Make “h”-measurement a bit bigger.
Nubsie is bad slang. It can be translated with nipple.
I want to Thank the last Three people from Germany,my cousins! :sunglasses:
Link does not work,“Page Not Found”…now it works,.
What do you mean, “Make ”H”measurement bigger? I thought a piece was suppose to be trimmed/removed[1mm]?
No, he said make “h” dimension bigger (lower case h in that drawing) That is the dimension between the “nubbin” and the bottom of the switch boot- in other words, trim the nubbin in the middle underneath back.
I understand what your saying. 
Look at his quote above and you will see that I quoted what he said!
This is what he said:
“Look at the picture at kaidomain
Make “h”-measurement a bit bigger.”
,Just a language barrier with a few words! Nipple is what we would say,never heard of nubsie!
Oh, no worries…In the diagram, upper case H is different than lower case h was all I was saying.
I do hope mine works right…otherwise I’ll be sourcing another driver. I do really like the size if the light- it’s about as big of a jacket pocket light that id want.
I’m glad that this problem occurred, or I would have to live my life without ever knowing this great word “nubsie”. 
I’m driving but. I still have to figure out what needs to be trimmed or made bigger! I guess I’ll try to trim the h dimension . How do I get the rubber button cover out. Just pull out from the end of the light by force? Will I easily be able to put it back in after? Thanks
You will easily find out yourself
But to ease your mind a bit: likely when you look on the inside of the tail section you will see a ring that has two little opposite holes. Stick something in those holes (tweezers or pointy pliers or whatever) and unscrew that ring. Now you can pull the board with switch out and under that you will find the switch cover. Cut a mm off the nubsie ( :party: ) and reverse everything until the tail is whole again.
Thank you
So access the ribbber cover from the inside the light? I was hoping to just pull it out from the outside without having to mess with the ring ugghhh ok. I will report on this results of this operation!
Is this ring a regular direction thread? I tried to unscrew but it’s pretty tight. Maybe a drop of machine oil around the ring to loosen it up?
Just looking at the picture, yes, regular direction.
From my experience most tighten clockwise, loosen counter clockwise. However, I have had a few that did the opposite. Simply try loosening it counter clockwise and if seems too tight go the other direction. That is how I had to loosen a few of them. In my opinion, oil is unnecessary, just turning it the right way should work.
