Thanks man. Glad to be a part of this community.
NeutralFan:

which states: “This 12 groups sst40 driver is compatible with lighted switch.”
I have many of these drivers in flashlights with lighted switches and they function as expected.
Can you please share the link for the lighted switches you used? Im guessing the metal ones? Also, did you install bleeder resistors for the 12group drivers?
Thanks
Sorry for the late response.
I just install the regular 16mm light switch for convoy S2+ S2 C8 C8+ S21A in my flashlights. All of mine have the silicone (non-metal) switches.
No bleeder resistor is needed for the Convoy SST40 drivers.
BUT, in my experience the stock lighted switches are way too bright so I replace the resistors. I also experiment with creating different colors by mixing the LEDs.
Here’s one of my recent lighted switch mod (mix of orange and warm yellow LEDs) which resulted in a nice golden color:
Thanks I am going to order the switches. I’ll also try to replace the resistors if the light is too bright. The color of your switch looks really nice.

Oh ok. Can you please kindly share what Simon says about the switch?
Thanks
I received the new switch and it work perfect. No problem Sir. It’s ok.
That looks great!! I ordered a metal one for my S2+. Waiting for the postman.
Thanks for the updates.
