Pressure Switch For Cree Torch?

[toxo 160]

Been using Cree torches for a couple of years now. I have a Deben with red led which takes a 18650 battery and is ok but I would like something with a bit more power due to the eyes going south. I have a couple of bigger Crees that take the 18650 batteries (one zoomable) but the 5/7 modes drive me mad. I know there are lots of pigtails for the slimmer torches but can I get one for the slightly wider bodied torches? And can anyone advise on a torch that just switches on/off please?

There is a way of of changing a multi mode to just single mod and it I think involves soldering the circuit board inside the torch. Try Google.

 

I got a nice single mod torch off ebay which switch and fitted a deben red filter. Does the job nicely. Try eBay and maybe email a few Chinese sellers which advertise torch switches, tell them the model of your cree and you never know. They'll do anything for a sale. Might have to wait a month for it to arrive but it will more than likely be cheap.

Thanks Dan.

Of course you're right. In fact I can vaguely recall reading how to do it on one of those dedicated torch forums some time ago. I was just hoping for a nice easy link. Oh well, off to fleabay then.
