I’ll look again, there was no picture I could see of the inside of the tailcap, as of a couple of days ago.
It would be good if they’re now showing what they actually offer.

Anyone got a link to the necessary parts?

EDIT — cleared my browser cache, looked again and, nope, I don’t see what you see.
You sure you’’re looking at the small light, not the big light? They may be different.
Can you link to the image?

Sorry, I should have mentioned it was on the copper version.

D.I.Y. Illuminated tailcap

I’ll start by saying that while sometimes I’ll sell a light with one of these pre-installed, I am not currently taking orders for them. If someone else offers to build one for you, go for it. I won’t attempt to restrict it in any way, though I try to make it as accessible as possible for people to build their own. This is still a project in motion, often being updated/upgraded.

Hm. Got mine, and it did come with a complete tailcap, including the switch and the blue LEDs.

No promises that’s not a mistake, but that’s what I got.

I’m glad for you because having no switch was going to be a problem. I solved my problem by buying a complete SC this week.

Both hosts arrived today, one copper and one aluminum.
The copper host doesn’t include a switch but the aluminum one does.

Does the convoy reverse clicky fit in these hosts, the one that comes with the C8/S2’s?

The 16mm switch for Convoy S2+ fits as does 17mm switches. The 20mm switch from the S2 is too large.

Thanks for the code. It saved me a lot of money.

Crap, this is becoming an issue. I’m gonna have to work Saturday :person_facepalming: for my itchy trigger finger. My first copper, and an S3 just because. Now off to Richards.

Double Crap, the Chinese are celebrating another Holiday. That will add an extra week.

Ordered an S3 host seven days ago (using the code)
Just got email saying it’s back-ordered, and shows back-ordered under “my orders”
