Installation can vary depending on your light make and model. Use our Installation Guide to get specific guidance for your light.

The SwitchBack S Backup comes with two o-rings. See below for compatible lights and the recommended o-ring to use. Shrouded and flared tailcaps are not compatible (a flared tailcap is shown in the image at left/above).

Note that the E1B- Backup MaxVision comes with a shorter tail cap so that this flashlight cannot be activated with the knuckle in the SwitchBack Technique. Instead, users turn the light on with a finger, then can modify the position of the light using the SwitchBack.

The SwitchBack S Backup is not compatible with lights larger than 0.830 inches (2.1082 cm) in diameter. Thyrm offers 7 Flashlight Ring models including the SwitchBack and the Low Profile Carry Clip. Enter your flashlight make and model in the finder below to find a compatible model.

TRAINER REVIEW

“Many of the original flashlight techniques developed by Ken Good and Dave Maynard are still relevant and we wanted a product that would work with their techniques in addition to newer methods of employment. Likewise, we have a lot of respect for instructors like Matt Graham who showed the community the benefits of additional retention features on flashlights. The SwitchBack builds off these techniques and enhancements, taking it to the next level of capability and durability.”
