ClipSwitch Flashlight - Giveaway (WINNER announced)!

The only ones made in usa are the maglites… Or there are other ones made in usa??

Less than one week to post a great comment, video, or meme! On Saturday night I’ll pick my favorite one and the person who made it will win the blue ClipSwitch Microstream. After that, the drawing for the black one is random on leap day.

There are others such as some that Surefire makes and a lot of custom ones. I guess you could say the ClipSwitch Microstream USBs are made in China and modded in the USA.

And the finish of the mod looks “professional”… I mean… It looks as if it came that way from factory

Thanks samgalax. They aren’t perfect due to the industrial bead blast cabinet I use but they do look pretty good.

Ok. I want to see their look. If it is not perfect… It can be acceptable because of the function added. That is ok…

When evaluating switch kinds, you missed one that’s remarkably similar to your Clip Switch.
Nebo Poplite is magnetically attached to a keychain. When you pull it off - it lights up.

Ah, that’s a pretty neat design, Agro. Too bad it can’t be on while it’s attached to your keychain, but that would defeat the lockout benefit.

Remember that the clip switch can be clipped to any non-conductive material or to any pocket with no need for a magnet. In reality, the remarkably similar ones to my design are the cheap medical pen lights in which the pocket clips act as the switch. Those however don’t come on when you remove them from your pocket and you have to press the pocket clip down for activation…

I also missed the clap on/clap off and voice activation.

I’m not saying it’s the same. But it’s close enough to be worth mentioning. And it’s just as fast to use. :wink:

Would love to try one.

The contest for the blue Microstream ends tonight, folks! There’s still time to say or do something clever for a chance to win!

What about reliability?

What about the thickness of the metal? Easy to bend? Will it tolerate normal wear and normal use of continous “insert-remove” from pockets??

Any idea about that??

im in dude , ill put the light in my pocket and when i take it out, it will light up , theworld!!!

anyhow

im thinking, work some workers, electrians ,plumbers that need to work in all types of situations, they could clip this in there pocket, and when they need a light, take it out and bobs your uncle, light!

Is it over yet? Pretty sure I won, where do I send my address to?

:sunglasses:

Interested.

Congrats to the winner

And the winner is… phouton!

Thank you all for the helpful comments and there were quite a few clever/funny ones.

On leap day I will draw the winner of the black one so be sure to keep commenting for your chance to win!

By the way, Lick you get a second entry into the leap day drawing because I picked your comment as the runner up for the contest.

samgalax, you get a triple entry because of your good comments/questions that have kept bumping this thread.

Thank you. Wish to win and test this new idea… Good luck to all

And to the winner of this one (PHOUTON): Please comment about it as soon as it arrives to you and have time to try it. I am anxious to know more… Specially about how much time it works without starting to get dust/dirt in the contacts and make it flicker or even not to work properly due to accumulation of dust particles…
