soft latching FET based tail clicky switch

[WarHawk-AVG]

@Rufusbduck

The switch will need some voltage. Since power goes through the driver and the LEDs first then you won’t have full cell voltage to operate the FET. Mattaus was working on one I believe but with a coin cell. Side switch lights could use one. Don’t think this is worthwhile for most one or two cell lights. Maybe a 3s cell light where one or more of the cells has a pos terminal at the tail end of a battery carrier or a carrier modded with a pos feed to the tail.

hmmm

I guess others have been discussing it

Electronic switch at the tailcap - how?

Most flashlights with an electronic/momentary switch have that switch at the side, where the driver and the LED sit. However there are a few flashlights with such a switch at the tailcap, like the ThruNite Scorpion, or the NiteIze IQ-switch for minimags. But how does that work? The main problem for electronics in the tailcap is that it does not have direct access to the positive battery terminal, so how is it powered? I've seen a light with a special 3*AAA battery carrier which got both termina…
