As an FYI - I noticed them on the Bass Pro Shop website. Looked like they were in stock. I don't really need another minimag conversion but for 8 bucks I might add one to my next order.

I just received my two IQ switches in the mail. I had ordered them through the Niteize web site and they were delivered from Playhard Inc. I managed to order through the Niteize web site only through a glitch in their software which was fixed several weeks ago.
I have tested them with a variety of MM LED drop-ins, Teralux, SMJLED, Niteize, as well as replacing the Kroll switch on my Streamlight LUX Jr. The bottom line is that so far they seem to work as advertized. It even allows my SL Lux Jr. to tail stand (can't with the Kroll Switch). I plan to confirm the Auto-Off works as designed later tonight (I assume it works...).
I assume the retailers should be getting theirs any day.

Anxiously awaiting feedback from you guys who have actually gotten your hands on them. A VERY long wait, but we can hope to be pleased by the company actually getting things right from the outset!

Which TerraLUX unit did you try them with TLE-5? I'm really hoping they can handle the current because that will make an awesome combo.

Woot! I just got my tracking number
They'll be landing no later than this Friday
The funny/dumb thing is that I have 4 orders in and I don't know what I'm getting...will it be just the first PO (from January) the first 2 PO's (Jan and March) The first 3 (Jan/March and May) or all 4 PO's?
So I have somewhere between 72 and 360 of them en route.

Yes I tried it with one of the older TLE-5s. I may give it a little longer test to see if it works for extended periods of time. So far so good.MattK said:

CM, these are not reverse clickies - it's a digital switch.
Can't wait to try it in every other light I can find.
...and one of those is mine!Mattk said:

Mr_light,
So is the "auto-off" a necessary feature of the IQ switch or your test result showed that it is not?(I sure hope not, since it will take away its emergency candle-light potential)
And it does work with Shoppe's Madmax sammy?

Looks like I got to get them from somewhere else. :sigh:flashlight said:$17.50 for International Air Mail for a $6.95 item.
Domestic shipping is $6.61
-- not much better. I think I'll have to find a different vendor or wait till they sell it at Target.

Try First Class Mail - it will be about 1/2 that.
UPS Ground rates are what they are, theres nothing we can do about that.

Hi Flashlight,
We're working on coding air letter rates into the cart but it's been a very complicated and long process. In the meantime if you email me via CPF or directly via the website with your country I can arrange Air Letter rates for your order which should be under $5.

I just placed my order for two from www.batteryjunction.com
Thanks MattK!
My testing plans include:
1) Nite-Ize 5mm kit - should work here no problem expected.
2) TerraLux TLE5 - next brighter step & higher current
3) Peak Caribbean with 2AA body - (my highest current setup) should replace the Kroll switch.
Earlier in the thread someone pointed to a 1amp max spec. If true, it should work on all three setups listed above.
