Cree Q5 fix

[Twilkes]

I have two Cree Q5 torches, and I read once that they're susceptible to changing lighting modes while riding, presumably because they get knocked around a bit. I found a fix for this a while ago (possibly a youtube video) but can't for the life of me find it again. Does anyone have a link?

They're great lights but I'm worried that they'll play up at the wrong moment, as mine have a habit of going dark, not just changing modes, and then need switching off and back on again.

Is it the video on THIS page? It refers to 501/502 type torches but the advise is easily adaptable to similar types.

That was the one, aye thanks. There are also some webpages suggesting adding foil into parts of the torch to make firmer connections, so will give that a try too.
