Yes. Momentary.
Ahh. So that’s what he meant by “appropriate” driver, i.e., the driver has to be able to detect the clicks and then turn on the light, at the appropriate output, etc.? So this light couldn’t be true DD (i.e., without no driver, and battery wired directly to the emitter(s))?
Correct on all accounts.
Sorry for all the questions, but any idea how much current that switch can handle? I’m thinking like an easy “forward clicky”, DD, with no electronics maybe. Kind of strange?

It's a logic level switch. I'd be astounded if it could handle more than 100mA.

Ok, I was afraid of that :(…

But, “where there’s a will, there’s a way”:
That’s a forward clicky from a Solarforce L2M, and it works, so I imagine a reverse-clicky would also.
BTW, if not modded and using this clicky, you can turn off the light by just clicking the tail switch.
