Thanks for the info Simon.
So basically this change of threads specification is due to new production/manufacturing process which is more efficient, and not caused by some random mistakes in the machining department?
If that’s the case here, then I’m personally OK with that, as long as each flashlight is fit properly and works well, and this change is as planned and designed, therefore it is consistent for current and future batches . More efficient production process is good.
Im really suprized to hear that these are cast. They look machined to me. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible to get a quality cnc machined type finish using a mold with aluminum.
That’s helpful information it would be good to include “Square threads” in the product description from here on out
Is that the case for all threads both internal (driver retaining ring and tailswitch) and external (head and battery tube and tailcap)?
Square threads are generally a good thing and worth advertising, as well as being helpful to distinguish for us longtime customers who have the older type.
In one hand this is actualy OK cause there are planty of guys who got new Cu S2+ with this “weird” threading and bunch of copper pills. Now they can be used with new copper and alu S2+.
It would be nice if this became and stay standard in the future for all S, M and L models.
