    Does anyone make a small pressure pad that has a momentary on and a double tap for constant on? Similar to how the MAWL (and others) works? Thinking form factor of the Modbutton or similar.

    Seems like this would be an awesome unit as it would save on cost and weight. Am I missing something?

    Would solve 2 scenarios for me: (1) white light in addition to a MAWL without turning my entire top rail into a pressure pad (and skipping the DS00 tailcap) and (2) allow me to scan and target with a LUNA 3 off a pad (and let me mount the laser further forward).

    I like those lights but not going to switch at this point... Looking for something that is SF Scout compatible

    Ah okay. Yea I'm at a loss on that then. I'm not sure a product like that exists for the scout.
     
    Bummer. Seems like modlight could modify a switch fairly easily. I’ll drop them a note. Would love to be missing something here though

    Unity Tactical Hot Button is like a surefire clicky tailcap. Hold for momentary or click on/off. I think that would work for you.

    So if I single tap the Hot Button, it stays on but if I press and hold it is momentary? That's fantastic news
     
    Just watched a YT video and makes more sense now. Thanks @skatz11 for the info I should have watched a video to start

    The Hot Button is pretty good. To clarify the above if you press it lightly it is momentary, and when you fully depress until you feel a click, it will hold constant until you click it off again.

    What I want is something low profile like ModButton (as compare to HotButton), but have press on-press off. Don't care about momentary.
