16mm 101F Gold Plated Clicky Switch for Flashlights (10-Pack)

Pros: - excellent price for 10 switches
- good quality and build inspires a measure of confidence
- springs are gold plated for resistance to oxidation and wear
- gold plating on the springs improve electrical conductivity
- correct tactile pressure rating means ease of use, switching speed and less finger fatigue
- good bouncy feel when toggling the switch
- reverse clicky facilitates switching between modes

Cons: - side contacts are not gold plated
- reverse clicky switch makes it less suitable for tactical applications
- click sound is a bit loud and is not ideal for hunting

Other: I am convinced that this switch is better than the switch that came with my wf-008 and will be using this in lieu of the SKU 05632 whenever I need replacements. I would recommend this as a better alternative.

Pros: Not a one.

Cons: these are hands down the worst switches in the world. The outside is gold, the inside is built with low rated components. the spring inside that provides tension and electrical connection overheats very easily and destroys the switch. They die so quickly it's almost a waste of time to change them out. Also the gold plated spring is soldered to the base and the heat has caused damage to a good percentage of the plastic in the switches. I ordered 100 of these and out of the 100, 15 were melted beyond use.

Other: I've now got 100 switches that I can't use.. stay away from them as they will fail quickly.
