Home made instant twist on and off switch.

[rathat]

So you want to make an on and off switch that makes you laser turn on and stay on. well first get one of these. They're those small things that keep wire bundles together but only like 3 inches long. You can get them at radio shack.
(sorry about the grainy pics, I'm using a new camera and I still didn't get the settings how I like them)

Now I'm doing this on a Nova laser x100 but dragon lasers viper series and laserglows lasers are the same size I think. Now put it over the button and make sure the part were it zips is opposite the button. Pull it and click it one at a time and hold the button down when you click it after each click, let go of the button to see if it stays lit. when it stays lit, pull it one more click.
Now cut the extra off and twit it so the locking part is over the button which will give it space to turn off.

now just twist it to turn it on.
you can slip it off the front of the laser to take it off but it's tight enough to stay on. a bit harder to put back on but just push it over the button.
Now just twist it on and off but make sure you follow the duty cycle and don't keep it on for to long.

Its just some tie wrap, btw it doesn't work with the glow in the dark button mod.

Don't be hating ranged, it shows people that don't know about things like this what they can do.

Oh and those things are called zip ties, at least, thats how I know them.

What are you talking about? I made up rathat 10 years ago when I was like 7 or 8

... hmm i am confused that people don't understand if you can push the button down with your finger to make it stay on then anything else you push it down with it stays on as well?

if people can't figure this out for themselves then they probably shouldn't be holding a laser over 5mw

I use electrical tape to hold my switches down. LOL
