Ey, the replacement switches are http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5588~r.43033281
250 lumens on an Eneloop is incredible. What a pity that DealExtreme and Eastward have been so unscrupulous with this whole deal. This is yet another nail in DealExtreme's coffin, in my opinion.
OK, mine just arrived.
Works great, really bright, XP-G emitter, and... High, High, and Strobe modes. Back to pulling the ropes of the DX ticket system....
5 pack , might have to order one [ pack ] , there might be one good clicky in the bunch , I hope ...
+ Ive seen far better ones on ebay , just need to order the right size .. Thanks fran82
I have them used for replace the one on the TF F23. Works perfect. No difference from the stock one, only a little longer (1mm)
Is it me or they cropped the pictures. :D
Does anyone have the original its worth a laugh.
That's ashame no one has got the 4 mode light. I am still waiting for mine, it should be here soon. Clicky issues can sometimes be cured with a shot of good quality plastic safe electronic contact cleaner. My F23 needed a shot of cleaner and now it's perfect! I hope current shipments will at the very least have the xp-g emitter.
My eastward arrived the other day and it has exactly what was described ..XPE-r3 4 mode
That's right >>>> 4 mode ...reminds me of the blf except it actually works( One of My Blf's is defective )..Twice as bright as the BLF and a beautiful smooth floody beam .It is exactly what I had hoped for the blf . the modes are stupid just like the blf .. low low nice mid at about 40% and a sweet high .pretty bright 160? ...Color is perfectly fine very close to the blf .. it's a very good tint .I would have expected more throw from a xpe .It acts more like an xpg .big hot spot and not a single ring ... it is exactly what you'd want from a small every day carry..I really really like it.
I was worried after hearing reports of people getting 3 mode strobes ...I'm really sick of nuking the neighbors with strobes just to switch modes at night . It's like having to set off a fire alarm just to change channels on your walkman . Isn't there anyone smart enough to design a driver that doesn't have strobe on it and has an interesting user interface ??
whee... 4 mode
Great observation. I wonder how you ended up with the 4-mode and everyone else got the regular version? So you're saying the two Lows are too close together?
Cuz i been going to church.....and god really really likes me
Yeah the modes are just like the BLF > Low > Low again Med and a nice High ... 2 lows ...it's ok ... you just wonder why it's there ...Maybe the answer is 5%.....35%......65%....100%
I think the idea was to get a really low Moonlight mode of less tha a lumen for up close light. Then a more usable Low of a few lumens.
Got mine today. As expected it is 3 mode blinky version 
I will request RMA from DX and I suggest we all do, so they know how unexceptable this is!!
Mine is a true XP-G with great tint and is bright but the low isn't low enough and strobe is slow. If they insist on strobe at least make it have strobe effect and not just blink. The F23 stobe is the slowest I find acceptable. I have used it once to run off a few dogs lol.
Problem is DX won't get around to answering the CSE ticket until January. And even then, they'll probably offer a $3 refund and make us buy another one if we want to get the one we paid for originally.
Since monetary pressure is the only way to convince them, here is my contribution:
Dear DX,
I was expecting something like this and that is why I never bought the Eastward 4 mode. If you're reading, until this issue is resolved I'll do all my shopping on other sites. The user ID is the same here and at DX. I do accept delays, DOA's and wrong items shipped, but I do expect the correct item to be shipped for free or a full refund to be offered. That was the old policy and changing it is unacceptable in my point of view.
I agree. And unfortunately DX is not going to cooperate this time, it appears. Here's the generic, apathetic response that they finally got around to giving me:
When I filed my RMA claim I filed it as receiving the wrong item not as a defective item. The problem I might have with this is that on my box it has the correct SKU for the 4 mode light although my light is 3 mode.
I would hate to have to buy another light with a discount just to "try" to get the light I ordered in the first place just to have the wrong light sent again! For me to even think about buying a discounted light it would have to be half price and they would have to confirm with me with a video of the light changing through all 4 modes before I paid for the light! Yep i'm sure it is out of the question but I think i'm gonna fight 'em out on this one!
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.47626 I just posted a review ... I will keep the light , I cant be bothered sending it back , its POS but so be it , I dont think I could trust it going bush or something , but around the house , it should be fine ... [ Though I have enough around the house lights ]
Yeah I checked out both your reveiws old4570. It really is a pretty crappy light. Mode memory is unpredictable or just don't have it, mode changes are just weird, useless low mode and stobe as well. If I am stuck keeping it I will mod it to one mode because it is bright.
LOL I just just got the fastest refund response in the world:
about 30 seconds later I received this:
