TK, is there any combination of button presses that can make the light turn on at a medium level and then not respond to the switch anymore?
I let a newb check out the light and he did some crazy button clicking and it did this. I had to cut battery power to get it back to normal. It was odd.

Could be you have made a good start at discovering the ester egg.
First to the key, first to the egg.

That sounds like they managed to knock the button signal tube out of place or something. But usually if that happens, the light shuts itself off.

great video and great photos
copper would require an additional insulator because it cannot be anodized to be an Isolator as Aluminium.

the inner tube can still be used on other materials I think?
that would be an option, jupp
By the way: Is there a “shipping proges page?” I am #30xx and would like to know, when I could “roughly” expect shipping…

Why not run a wire inside the tube rather than a inner tube? Just wondering.

How would you connect the wire ends to the driver and switch when they all rotate independently? Seems pretty tricky.

There’s my answer looking me in the face. I guess I didn’t think it through .

Bead blasted titanium gets my vote. Other aluminium colours could also be tempting.
…Or silver / clear version?… runs and hides … Only kidding, I don’t like these as they can’t be hard locked out.

But not impossible.
HDS is using a wire with a rotating head and a fixed MCPCB for the button, Novatac is using a spring with a rotating head and rotating button.
The end of the tube on the driver side of the HDS is anodized, the trace on the MCPCB is for the end of the wire.

Interesting design, thanks for sharing Tally-ho. :+1:

The spring of the novatac is working the same as the inner tube of the FW3A, but with time if the spring wears off, it won’t be a problem due to its adaptable length.
