Anyone know where to buy them? Out of stock.
I don’t see “KRONOS” on the tube anymore in their pictures. Other than that, they look the same but don’t know about the quality compared to the Group Buy version from 2 years ago.
I’m thinking about buying some for poop hit the fan BOB bag. It has great throw, low low beam, etc. I disconnect the lighted switch to save battery power. Any other ideas?
I only see the one side of the tube in all the pictures shown, the box say’s KRONOS?
Disconnecting the lighted tailswitch by locking out via the tailcap-combo?
Good idea, I lock out all my (anodised) lights when not in actual use.

No, remove / desolder resistor from tailcap circuit board.

I recently got an X5 that has Kronos on the tube.

yes, saw X5 still for sale. But X6, no more.
Isn’t it much simpler to swap this switch with an ordinary switch+PCB you can buy almost anywhere?
FYI: your lighted tailswitch works fine with a Thorfire C8s, VG10 or TG06S without adding a bleeder resistor.
Also works fine with a Jaxman M8.

I suppose you’re right.
The lighted tailcap idea was neat but it bled the power out of my batteries faster than I preferred, therefore useless for me in any light.
In a future poop-hit-the-fan scenario, no waste is allowable, at least in my book.
