Sort of a DIY related question so I hope its ok to post here
I was wandering if somebody could answer me what is probabaly a very simple/aubvious question:
Basically I have on of these
For My Ultrafire c8 flashlight.
The only problem is the flashlight has 5 modes, and everytime you turn the flashlight on and off again, it switches mode, unless you wait 5 minutes. This means if you release a bit to much pressure from the pad with your finger, the flashlight turns off, meaning when you go to turn it on again you end up changing to a lower/higher mode or end up strobing somebody by mistake. Which isn't helpful.
I was wandering; If I cut off the pressure pad/switch part at the end of the wire would I be presented with 2 wires? And if so, could they simply be spliced/soldered to one of these with ease?
Maybe not that exact switch, but just a simple on/off switch that has two contacts underneath?
Atleast then, I could stick it with tape/velcro near the trigger on my vsr11 so I could switch it on, and leave it be without having to press incredibly hard on it at all times. It will also be pretty neat as i could then Mount my torch onto my off-road motorbike's front forks and have the switch up on the handlebars to operate it with.
I apoligise if this is a pretty naff question, but I dont want to ruin a perfectly good, albeit it annoying pressure pad in an attempt to replace the pressure siwtch for a on/off one.
Thanks for your time folks
