Hello! I got my S70 from BG and my side switch is also grey and the indicator is barely visible. I if some one knows a place to buy clear replacement cap that would be nice.
For some reason the stock output wasn’t that good (turbo 1.7A at tailcap) but after one solder blob turbo went up to 7A and high is now 2A. Much better…
I’m waiting my S70 from BG too.
Do you think it’s defective batch of S70s?
On this video https://youtu.be/usVnB_lPFQA?t=546 indication is pretty bright.
It could be. The one on the video is nothing like mine.
On mine there is a crescent shaped faint illumination to the left of the T on the switch and a barely discernible tint to the rest.
Its the only fault that I’ve found though.
So do you have good current on high mode? More than 5A?
What we can do with this tiny defect (i think all flashlights from BG with discount will be with weak side indicator)?
I was wanted buy it on Amazon. But they did not sent S70 in Russia.
I got mine via freeme”s BangGood discount link.
Clear cover to the side switch that shows the green, orange & red well.
The cells are on charge & I will post a tail cap reading later.
I find it strange that the illuminated side switch isn’t mentioned in the product information, maybe it wasn’t reliable so they changed the switch rubber to grey and withdrew the information with regard to the side switch in their product information.
Side switch issue. It’s an 11mm switch botton. The retaining ring screwed out with thumb tension on mine. It does have 4 notches for needle nose pliers. Be careful or you’ll stab the electronic switch.

I got my S70 from BG via freeme discount and all is well. Not as bright as my modded J18 but that will change when somebody is kind enough to post a how to mod of S70 video (so I don’t break anything). Actual lumens seem higher then those on spec sheet, but that is just by eye. Old Lumens has tested turbo at over 4500+ via sphere but I don’t recall any mention of other modes. I am using king kong batteries.
the S70 is a bit more “complicated” to open+mod as it has no pill
unscrew the battery tube
unscrew the driver retaining ring
tilt the driver in the cavity (watch out not to rip the eswitch wires!)
find the resistors ans place a solder blob over one
remount
done
