From what I recall on the BLF Q8 thread, it appears a bypass is better than dual springs. How much better I’m not sure and may not be necessary depending on your build. I have the Astrolux dual spring switch on my modified JAXMAN E2L triple flashlight and it can get hot very fast, AND I’m not interested in giving it more amps.
it seems to be working fine and for the sake of a few lumens or miuntes run time i dont think its worth ruining (my solder skills arent excellent) the switch and have to wait another 3 weeks for more switches from AE.
you dont happen to know if the pill in the C8s is removable?
Lighted switches arrived today. They work perfectly in my moded Convoys, even with bypassed springs.
The switch is much brighter than Astrolux S3 and S2. I made a photo, but don’t know how to attach it here.
I’m not into building lights yet, I don’t need another expensive hobby.
I am an avid outdoorsman and gun nut. I like budget lights that outperform the expensive name brand stuff.
I am looking for long throw lights for night hunting. I purchased an Odepro kl52, and an Orion M30c and they both work pretty well for my uses, but they are a little big.
I am looking for something with as good or better throw, with a smaller head.
