Damn, I could only use their “app” if I bought a newer cell phone.
I wish someone would come up with a cell phone simulator so I could scan these codes and use them.
I wonder why they’re giving such big discounts to people who will order with cell phones.

I purchased 10 a month ago when they were $0.69 each. The amber looks really cool but it draws about twice as much current as blue. I changed the resistors to 120k I think and it still draws 40 ua. Not as a efficient but very cool looking. Stuffed one in a V11R.

I’ve got a couple of V11Rs here and I love the light. I need to repack the one I use, but how much work did you have to do, to the PCB, to make it fit and is it easy? I’ve got a Dremel tool here if its just sanding it down. Does it still do momentary ON?

Thanks, Chris

Not that hard, the clear washer needs to be filed down to fit down the switch tube, its diameter is slightly to big. The switch fits right in. The lighted switch doesn’t do momentary on its a momentary off. I’m pretty sure while I was installing the last one that the original switch would fit on the lighted switch board, if you wanted to exchange switches to gain momentary on back. KD has the clear 14mm x 8mm silicone tailcaps, make sure you order the transparent. The silicone stud in the middle of the tailcap will have to be trimmed with a razor 2 or 3 mm to keep pressure off the switch button when assembled, otherwise the switch will always have pressure on it and be in the on state with a momentary on.
