From how I’m building the D10 with e-switch in my mind you would do the same as I have done here with the thin e-switch contact ring fixed on top of your new driver, you would have the switch contact ring made so it sits under the movable sprung split ring, insulated from everything else so only when you press the piston, it presses down on the sprung split ring until it contacts the e-switch disc thus connecting to ground.
Should work I think, but I could be missing something as I don’t have the light to ponder over, like I said it is tricky and you would need to watch how much reduced piston switch travel there is due to the extra contact ring on the driver which is why I suggested stripping the original driver, but you will have a better idea when you have the light.
The stock D10 is working in the exact same way with a separate switch contact ring under the moving split ring.

can you advise what driver are you using?
thanks.

I’ve been looking for D10 driver’s replacement but still no luck.
I thought you can advise the driver name so I can try it too.

Thanks.

Just when you think you’ve seen all the awesome there is to see, you make something more awesome!

Wow, fantastic work CRX! I wish I had the talent to do stuff like this. I am OK living vicariously through you, because you provide so many thorough details and photos. Also, love that holster you made for the Lan Mokume.

Congratulations, what a beautiful light. I’m curious how it’ll age too. I’m sure it’ll look better and better especially if its carried a lot.

After one week of me using & handling the light.

I don't know of a direct replacement, maybe a modified FET + 7135 Driver - 15mm - MTN-15DDm would work but like I said you would need to add an e-switch contact on top of the board, this is what I installed in the Mokume LAN.

Thanks for your explanation. Loud and clear.
