Modding a Trustfire TR-A9 - It's done, Beam shots are Up.

Didn’t I see you standing by the highway with a “Will bitch for food” sign?

So you’re the one that threw the rotten eggs!YellTongue Out

Thats quite an improvement. Are you happy with the way its turned out?

I saw this pop up on Fasttech. First thing I did was check BLF, and of course OL has one modded already :)

This is like the SRK with a momentary switch, correct? Do you just unscrew the tailcap slightly to prevent parasitic drain?

It has a momentary switch, but the tail cap has nothing to do with ground. The circuit is complete without relying on grounding the body. When you have four cells in series, both the positive and negative end up at one end (the top), so the driver/contact plate has both positive and negative in it and the circuit is complete. You can’t isolate this light unless you take out the batteries. (in stock form, or modified form).

EDIT: That is why the EA4/8 has a clicky and smd built right into one switch. The clicky shuts it off (isolates) and the smd controls modes.

Nice mod!

How do you remove the reflector? I have the bezel off and the o-ring that surrounds the top of the reflector. Do I need to remove the switch for it to come out?

I have slept since then.Wink I think it just came out by turning the light upside down and tapping it on the table, (with a rag under it for protection).

Got it! It took a bit of careful prying with a small flat head, I think the plastic led centering thing was holding on tight.
