Possibly my last Solarforce L2 18650 Body ..

Currently R2 - but I will be building one more SSC P7 drop in as well as a Luxeon K2 drop in , [ hopefully 200Lumen @ 1A ]

Need to share : First body was lost to the post [ sticky fingers I think ] International Trading Company [ Ebay seller ] sent me a new body without any prompting on my part .. ITC , Thank you ..

Just received this switch (forward clickie) and it works well, you do need to use the L2 screw in retaining ring and make sure you have an earth connection on the ring to the earth on the switch module.
At the bottom of the page BRITELUMENS - JETBeam SwitchJET III Pro I.B.S. forward clickie switch

Well, I bought a gunmetal LM2 a few months back and ordered a few extra items, bezels, ring, etc., several weeks back. Problem is, I never received my order. I sent several emails having Raymond promising delivery of my order. After a months wait, he wanted me to wait three days, then wait three more days, until I finally requested my money be refunded. I would like to buy a few more LM2's, a black one especially, since I have already have the gunmetal, but am VERY apprehensive about not receiving my last order. I am very dissapointed, since they didn't offer to reship or at least troubleshoot. I guess my money can spend elsewhere. Great flashlight, not so great service.......:mecry:
 
Your in luck in one aspect in the Solarforce store no longer carries the L2M.

solarforcelights.com does have the improved L2M that also includes the extension tube.

If you can't find the L2M, you could also look for a SpiderFire L2-S on eBay, which is the same size, etc (Solarforce and Spiderfire lights are made at the same factory).
 
Thanks for the heads up, hope Solarforce Store will sell L2ms again.

Replaced the stock reverse clicky switch with KD's forward clicky switch in the stock L2m tailcap. Still bought the L2-S4 because of its grip ring.

I can only say, I have had nothing but the best experience with Solarforcelights. Jason is a pleasure to work with. Orders ship from TX, so much faster.

Also, I want that Spiderfire X666 I just can't see 60 bucks and not be able to carry except in your hand. Cool looks though. KD or DX do not offer.

KD Forward Clicky Switch (5pcs) SKU: S005339

In Norm's post #362 we see the rubber boot, plastic switch cover, switch soldered to the circuit board and the retaining ring (left to right).

Unsolder the stock L2 reverse clicky from the circuit board and solder in its place the KD forward clicky switch. Sometimes I have to drill a new hole in the circuit board so the forward clicky switch is centered when soldered into the L2 tailcap switch circuit board. I then solder a wire from the forward clicky switch terminal/wire leg to the battery spring in the circuit board.

The forward clicky switch has to be centered so when the plastic switch cover is placed on top of it, all the parts will fit back inside the L2's tailcap and retain the rubber boot's water and dust seal.

The KD forward clicky switch is taller than the stock L2 switch knob so we need to trim the rubber boot knob so it will fit inside flawlessly. Turn the rubber boot inside out so you can neatly trim the rubber boot's center rubber knob/protrusion using diagonal wire cutter/scissors/knife to accomodate the KD forward clicky switch longer push knob. I leave about 3mm of the rubber boot knob, just before the rubber knob starts to widen at its base and then turn the rubber boot inside out again before installing back into the tailcap.

If you forget to trim it, the switch will be hard to press and won't be able to switch on the L2 or L2m. If the tailcap switch doesn't work and you're sure the soldered connections are ok using a multimeter or a continuity tester, it means you need to trim the rubber boot knob some more.

If you trim too much, the rubber boot will have no rubber knob left to prevent the switch knob from tearing through or cracking the rubber boot after some time. DX has rubber boots exactly like the ones in my L2m - DX SKU 5742 = Silicone Tailcaps for Flashlights (14mm Black / 10-Pack).

Same forward clicky switch used in all the tailcap mods of the flashlights in my signature line. Good luck! :)

Put an order in as well ...

I found the Solarforce lantern at a good price , so thought , what the heck !
Its Lantern + Head ..

Then I thought , all I need is a body , and I have another L2 ... :crackup:

I keep building these P60 Pills ,, I have parts for another SSC P7 , and a Luxeon K2 rated for 270Lumen @ 1.5A :candle:
Come on Luxeon :poof: :grin2:
 
Thats funny, I just ordered the lantern head the other day. I hope I didn't out bid you

Paul
 
Naaa $16USD for lantern + Head , + 8USD for a 18650 body and I already have a spare tail cap / clicky ..

So all up 24USD shipped , less pill ... But I have plenty of those ...
This lantern might just be the ticket with a SSC P7 ?

Hopefully today I will have time to build the Luxeon Pill .
 
I can't imagine a lantern head with a P7 under it. Post pics when you get it done.
 
Have any of you seen the new Assault Crown on the new 503's? Looks like a multitool. :hitit:
