Most of my questions and worries are answered with your extensive comment. Thanks!!
Obviously the aluminium is not as strong as other metals and obviously soon or later will show degradation…. But perhaps we could find a fix for that…
Of course, more powerful flashlights that need more amps will suffer more with that issue… But the main idea was that the clipswitch is designed for pocket flashlights… And most pocket flashlights dont require such high current…
The drawing will be this Saturday (Leap Day) for the next winner.
Samgalax, The hardest part about reversing the process on the Microstream USB is removing the tailcap (since it’s glued on). Once it’s off it’s just a matter of removing a little nail polish and a couple pieces of sticky paper. The removal of the anodization during the clip switch mod doesn’t affect the normal operation of the light.
