It’s just speculation, but it looks like there is a thru hole part (two adjacent pins) that are missing solder. This may have something to do with the lower current draw and odd driver behavior if the connection has a high resistance.
The pins in question are on the left of your picture here:
I like flashlights with grip ring.This is a nice C8 size flashlight with tactical grip ring.
Actually C8 doesn’t need it because it’s wider at the tail.
Looks good quality for the price.
Enjoy it!
Thanks for the pics! 8)
Thanks mhanlen, At that time he didn’t ship S8, I contacted Simon and told him that he could ship L4 and S8 together for less postage cost , he shipped both together received them yesterday.
Forgot to ask this though… the tail switch is only for on/off operation? Is it forward clicky? And if the tail switch is only for on/off operation does it mean that I can click on/off as many times as I want and the mode will never change until I click the side switch?
Oh yes, with separate side switch additional mode wouldn’t make it too complicated. But if there have to be just 3 modes, 80-500-3000mA combination would be better.
