Is there a tape switch solution yet?
Current set up UE tail cap, SR07 tape switch, M600DF.
Obviously, either the receptacle on the UE, or the wire on the SR cannot provide the needed current to fully power the light.
Is there a work around?
I really don’t want to send it back to Surefire, as I really don’t think the light is the problem....but unless I find a solution that works, I’m gonna unload it, and buy another HLX.

Yep, the modbutton works great on the DF

Does this problem apply to them all?  I have this setup and haven't noticed any issues.

Mine drains batteries sitting in the safe, flickers, dims....etc.
none of these problems seem to exist with the regular switch.
Problem is, I didn’t buy this to use as a pocket light.

I’m thinking I may just unload it, and buy a Rein.

The hot button is amazing. It’s a remote clicky tailcap.

The more I read about this the more sure I am that the problem is the wore on the SF tape switches.

A dude here was going to upgrade the wire on one of his but IDK where that thread went.

Mine had issues with and without the switch, I contacted surefire, they sent me a prepaid ups label, and sent me the light I requested in exchange. I got a brand new m640pro which has been flawless

Why?  What are the Pros and Cons?

Most interested in the Modlite to REIN switch. I'm a bit torn between a 600DF or 640DF versus the two you list.  On my shorty SBR, the SF 600/640 options are probably the best trade-off for fill and not washing things out inside my house but, I can certainly see a Modlite or REIN or ... being better outside at my 40-acre farmhouse or one of my properties.
