We changed the color of side switch is in order to make the color look more close to the body of flashlight.In the evening, you still can see the color changes pretty well… Sorry that we didn’t consider it comprehensively.
Do most of people think that the translucent side switch was better?
No its not just you!
I can only just see the illumination at night and even then only on the low output setting.
It’s a pity as its otherwise a great flashlight at a great price with the discount code.
It would have been good to have a clear indication of the battery state though.
It seems that the original first batch of lights came with the clear side switch cover then & the second, re-stocked batch, have come with a grey cover.
I had my light from the original first batch so have a clear cover, I wonder if Thorfire can supply clear covers separately ?
I wonder if “freeme” could ask them as he organised the group buy ?
BTW I love my S70
Used a small screwdriver and carefully turn is, giving force at one hole first, not too uch, then switch holes.
again, with a little more force in the two holes, upped the force until it came loose, no scratches!
I’m glad I spotted this thread as I received my S70 today and was disappointed to find the voltage indicator had been ditched in this batch. Now I know the circuitry is at least still there and maybe fixable with a replacement opaque cap, well, at least I hope so as it’s pretty much impossible to see through the grey rubber even on low mode.
I, too, was disappointed by the gray switch cover.
I could not distinguish any light at all coming from the battery level indicator under the switch cover, even with the S70 turned on in the low mode and in a totally dark room.
I sent a PM to Thorfire asking whether they can send us replacement covers. No response yet.
