You don't even need a MN socket. Socket is part of the body and because of springs ellimination, current will flow easily and performance is excellent.
Do not use MN20, MN21 or any other LA with this set up.
No external battery holder required. Integrated battery connectors are installed and come with body.
Connectors are improved to work with AW's 2.6, AW's 2.2 or IMR18650 cells.
Body and tail cap involved with a lot of machine work to ensure it will give you same reliability and feeling with original M6 body while you get much more power, better performance, lower initial cost and longer run time per charge and forget about primary cells.
Tail cap is designed to work with option B of these switches or I can install McClicky switch for $20 extra.
I have tested WA1185 with 3 protected 18650 charged to 4.2 volts and mentioned soft start switch with no instaflash. Will work with McClickie too.
For longer run time you can use WA1166 CL809 and many more.
Installing your soft start switch is as easy of installing M*g tail cap. If Gary can do it, you will be easily able to do it in less than a minute.
Installing a bi-pin WA1185 is also so simple. Insert bulb pins then very gently tighten set screw with provided wrench. Do not force or over tighten it.
It is important to know that tiny set screw is very very easy to strip and not covered by warranty.
Duty of set screw is to hold weight of 1 gram bulb and any kind of overtightening will strip threads, stock the set screw and or pinch the bulb pin.
Set screw is angled. Please see the picture.
Each $139 body comes with battery connectors, front o'ring, double tail orings, tail cap, black switch boot, built in bi-pin socket, allen hex wrench and flat washer.
You may have to slightly lift the 1185 bulb before tighten set screw or use provided washer with taller bulb such as 1909
WIll work perfectly with KT4 head. [color=red]KT-4 Head[/solor] is not included or available in this thread.
Simply install mentioned switch, 3x18650 batteries, KT-4 head and ready to go.
Please make sure to install batteries according to P as Positive and N as Negative printed on connectors. Wrong installation of batteries will void warranty. Tail side battery connector plate is one way in so don't force it in.
No head, bulb or battery is included.
