Clicky Switch for Flashlights (12mm 5-Pack)

Pros: A good clickie, great price for 5, bought these same ones for about 2 bucks each elsewhere, :( No loose contacts when shaken. Simple for modds, great for Crees

Cons: nada

Other: A good buy for modders, direct replacement for my Ultrafire 501B and Cree Led Digital Torch

Pros: Nice sturdy case.

Cons: Wish they were cheaper.

Other: Get some for projects.

Pros: A strong plastic clickie, with three metal contacts. ON/ON/OFF good for those flashlights that you want to have high/low/off. The spring in the clickie is strong and you can definetely hear it in the light itself.

Cons: Careful not to overheat the contacts as this will affect the innerworkings of the clickie, plastic will melt. My first mistake was to leave on for to long the solder point on the metal contact/leg.

Other: This a good product for modders and direct replacement for many PCB boards on flashlights or any other application.

Pros: I have been looking for this switches for over a year. Not on ebay, nowhere. I found them only in digikey but the shipping to my country was huge. This is a press switch that cycles through two separate contacts 1/0/2/0 . Usable for many DIY projects.

Cons: Be carefull when soldering these - have heat dissipator attached unless you will melt down the plastic body.

Other: Buy them - if you just think you may need them, do it - it is almost nothing to lose.

Pros: - solid construction, nothing loose
- on/on/off execution order (see Other Thoughts for details)

Cons: - mounting options for non-flashlights may be an issue. Likely need to use adhesive or epoxy depending on what you are mounting it to
- I bought mine just before the price drop

Other: - good quality 2-mode reverse clicky switch
- will definitely buy more

Pros: Works without any problem on a torch 10W torch.
Soldered easily and didn't melt (even though I used a 100W soldering gun).

Cons: On-off would be better, but I can always buy some on-on-on-offs for that (sku.5660)

Other: Check which switch your torch takes and get some in ready. At this price, why not!

Pros: Can be taken apart and modded for
Off - On1 - On2 and On3. See mod description below.
I am using this switch to switch two 1400ma boards in, one at a time to run a SSC P7 in half mode and then full mode.

Cons: Inner contact parts are kind of wimpy. Contact points could be a bit wider for better contact area.
Not sure what the actual voltage and current rating is on these switches????

Other: I am mounting these switches to small round circuit boards that I cut out on my CNC and making custom SSC P& bike lights.

Pros: Recived the item quite quickly, (2 weeks). Great switch, easy to install and use, can handle more then 1A, small size, but not too small to handle it. very good tactical feed back.

Cons: none that I can point, but it's a little delicate build despite the size.

Other: Great buy when ever you need this type of a switch, highly recomandad!
