I jus figured out the problem with the lenght of some batteries, is the retaining ring does not hit the end of the tube of the flashlight, I added just to try a little bit of aluminium foil and now it works with all my batteries, even the flat tops, where the problem was really with the length not the flat top.
So, I understand the best solution would be to leave a round lip on the exterior of the retaining ring by taking away a few material of it, or just doing the aluminium foil trick for longer batteries.
It is a pity having to do this, as I like it a lot in general, but for this.
I would not try, it looks like I will scratch the bezel trying it, the bezel doesn’t have any protrufing part where you could force it, nevertheless I am not that good at it.
It probably can be dissembled. Whenever I find a light that has bezel I can't get off I wrap the whole thing in electrical tape and then stick it in a clamp. Then grab the other end with a handheld clamp and twist. With this method you can unscrew almost anything. I used this on my G2X which is glued and it worked really well.
Oh, I was just worried it was press fitted, or all one part, or just something wierd. Good technique to know Scaru! Do you think that i’ll get a hotspot if I do remove the reflector, like just from the light reflecting off the sides of the head where the reflector used to be in front of?
I will try today if possible to add an copper cord on the edge of the retaining ring on the tail cap, let’s see if it is a good solution for those wondering to use long batteries such as Hi-Max, protected NCR1650A…
All you need to do is remove the ring and add something 3 or 4 mm thick and long batteries will work. A 2032 battery will work but wrap it in tape. A 20mm magnet would be ideal.
Ok. So I’m thinking about buying EagleTac 2500 mAh, these are 68,2 mm x 18,3 mm. These are not too long aren’t they? Thickness should be good if the tube is 18,7 mm.
I didn’t measure mine, but my Hi max did fit with no problem, I believe there are more probabilities some hi max are thicker than others than different tubes on the flaslights.
remove the ring/ spring etc and put something in the bottom of the tailcap and then replace the spring and retaining ring. The magnet from the ufh3 fits and works well.
I’ll see what can I do edc, I tried yesterday with a thicker magnet, using it, the light can be placed on any direction with no problem the only con is with the existing ring etc, there are not enought threads left on the tail cap to screw it.
the PWM isnt that bad at all. overall. It is a nice light for the price. Comparing to H600 Zebralight. I believe Zebralight is of cos better. The switch is really recessed. It is a small electronic switch.
