After researching the question 'will a XM07 work with a P2X Fury', I came to the conclusion that people believed it did.

I purchased a XM07 from Amazon, but for the first time ever I followed their link to 'Warehouse deals'...the Like New 'used' option was 30% less so I jumped on it.  It just arrived and I can't make it turn on the Fury.  It tightens up nicely and the XM07 clicks nicely, just no light.

Any tips I might be overlooking?  Took me awhile to figure out the IR portion of my other light, so I might be dumb.

Could it be the XM07?  Seems pretty straight forward...

Thanks.

Remove the tailcap.  Get a multimeter with a continuity tester, and click the tailcap "on".  Then touch the leads to the spring, and the inner threads of the tailcap and see if there is continuity.  Let us know...

Thanks.  Great idea.

Forgot to mention...my Surefire LX2, though it doesn't fit, will toggle the light on and off if I hold XM07 on it.  So it 'works'.  Spring problem?

Hmm, that is interesting.  Could be a spring issue - do you have a different Surefire to try the XM on?  Like a 6P, 9P, Z2, C2, etc?

Not until Friday!

I'll keep tinkering.

You may need to stretch out the spring on the XM07.

Just pull it?  Or any, less potentially damaging suggestions?

Why go cheap on something important.

 



I would return and get a new one, and if that does not work then run with without a switch or try the tricks the other guys are talking about.

I would send it back to Surefire before I'd risk yanking the spring out on accident.

Typing too fast...



Yeah, this is better advice than mine. What I was trying to get at is that the spring is probably too short for the switch to close the circuit.

I just spoke to Surefire and they said 'return it, it won't fit on 6PX nor P2X'.

So, that's what I am doing.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Ok..don't tell anyone, but I grabbed some needle-nosed and pulled the tail cap off an older M-something light I had.

Tugged the spring just abit, not enough to feel any loss of tension or shape.

Screwed it into the Fury....boing!! Light pops on.

I definitely did some no-nos here, but how bad did I wreck stuff?  Didn't try the new XM, so can return still...or try to duplicate the result.

What says the hive?

Thought I had read where one could use a small neodymium disc magnet to increase length, rather than stretch the spring?

How do you install the magnet?

When I say I stretched the spring, I really only extended it 1-2 cm past neutral.  No 'dead spring' feeling at all

Surefire says it wont work, but this thread says the XM switch does work.
