Home Depot 3xAAA 2pack down to $5

my local store never had the 2 pack...only 3 + 2 headlamps. I guess it is finally worth driving over to another store.

sorry if this is already in another thread...thought it was worth blasting out to everybody anyway...

The switch can be forced further down in the tailcap, allowing the use of 18650s.

I used a garden hose barb and a rubber mallet.

And it works ok? Would love to see that, maybe post some picks - How bright is it with the 18650? I have two of these and that would be a fun mod.

still tailstands?

My store only had the 5 pack. Picked up 3xAA 52L /17L Flashlight/latern for 5$

Still works and still tailstands.

You just need to push the switch disk in until it seats at the bottom of the tailcap.

I used a hose barb, but any tube that fits just inside the tailcap can be used to evenly press the switch disk while protecting the center battery contact. Cardboard underneath, and a rap with a rubber mallet is all it takes.

Never mind. I was thinking backwards. LOL
