    "Omten" is a brand that makes long life, reliable flashlight switches.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Since most Flashlight switches consist of 3 Contacts (1 conducting ring and 2 pins ). The method of repairing the switch in this video should work on most zoomable/reflector Flashlights like the GearLight / E17 Taclight / "Lumitact G700", Alonefire, Shadowhawk X800, sipik Sk68 , "atomic beam", LS360, Skywolfeye, Ultrafire Cree T6 , 501b , 502b ,Convoy, P60 Q5 , etc.
    The only difference is that some flashlight switches are screwed into the Tailcap and some are press-fitted, Cheap flashlights tend to be press-fitted, but the mechanism of The Switch is The Same.

    Thank You for the DIY. Fixed a cheapo 'J5-Tactical' flashlight someone had discarded.
    + I used a 9mm socket to pop the switch out, 10mm socket to push it back in, worked well.
    edit to add: I've also used anti-seize compound in the threads to help with continuity of the negative side.

      No, Hbasm.. I respectfully disagree.

Although this looks sturdy on the outside, it falls apart easily when opened up. I suspect ours is flickering because everything inside is so lose. But we'll see. I hope to be proven wrong.

    Hello, very informative, thanks. I have an Imalent DT35 with 4 cree xhp 35 leds (2017) and 2 of them are flikering, blinking... I recently bought it used, but it had very little use, so it is like new.... sometimes a 3rd led will start ok at 80lm setting, but then will turn off at 1000lm or 5000lm settings. The 4th one will never turn on. Do you think is there some solution for it? (by the way, with just 2 leds working the amount of light is impressive!)

    • @Dhulfiqar

    • @Dhulfiqar
      @Dhulfiqar  5 років тому

      Hello, Since the flashlight worked when you shorted the battery to the torch casing then the switch needs to be replaced or disassembled and cleaned, you can buy good quality replacement switches from Aliexpress , Just make sure to measure your switch before ordering because they are two sizes, 17x12mm switch goo.gl/PpA91t And 12x08mm switch goo.gl/erhDiz
