That's Great!
Good…
try this:
remove battery, tighten head, loosen, tighten, loosen, then tight again… a few times… my thought is to seat and get good contact of the inner and outer tubes, into the head
fwiw, the switch itself is a very simple affair… the issue is probably not the switch. I expect it is just poor contact from the inner tube end, to the pill.
if that tight twisting fails,
It might be poor contact at the tailcap instead.
one step at a time… the tailcap is glued shut because there is no retaining ring. If tailcap is removed, switch falls out.
btw, at 3.7v a battery is almost half empty. Youre not hurting anything by testing the light at that voltage, but I suggest you charge the batteries before any prolonged use.
Here is a photo of the tail, disassembled:
.
feel free to private message me if you like. I will be happy to help you figure out how to remove the tailcap, if it comes to that.
first, let us know if the twisting exercise solves the problem.
Brass arrived today and woooo baby is it beautiful!!! Wurkkos knocked it out the park with this!!
Congrats! thanks for the great photos :+1:
Beautiful! Mine should arrive Monday or Tuesday.
Looks really classy!
My brass one also arrived today (4000k with orange aux), very very nice! Some newly designed packaging with it too. Well done Wurkkos!
Jon,
Thanks for the advice. I have a blister on my middle finger now. LOL.
No change.
I’m not going to undo the tailcap. I’ll see if Wurkkos or Ali have a fix.
Thanks
where is copper a choice??
The brass looks awesome! And the 14500 battery is only $2 more? Must resist, must resist…
I always buy the battery with the light 
I always buy the battery with the light
I do too.
One of the TS10’s came with a 14500 with built-in usb charger !
Same length as their unprotected/regular batteries.
I thought that might have been my problem with my MAO TS10, but no.
nice option!
Both my brass ts10s say local post office, so probably monday
Wurkkos, Do you know the brass composition used in this light? The brass stock you ordered for the factory.
Why do you ask?
Maybe the amount of lead content?
Curious about thermal heat dissipation
thermal info of various metals:
Brass has about 2/3 less thermal conductivity than Copper,
Brass has about 1/3 less thermal conductivity than Aluminium.
otoh, Brass has about 16 Times better thermal conductivity than Titanium. :student:
imo, buy the metal you like, dont worry about thermal conductivity… just dont use your light in ways that generate high heat… Medium modes are our friends… LOL
I recommend a ceiling of 120/150 = about 350 lumens, and turn Turbo Off, regardless what metal the TS10 is made of.
