ModButton Lite is a smaller lighter weight cousin to the original ModButton. The switch features the same momentary only activation as the original ModButton. It also features the same high power cable and switch from ModButton but in a slightly smaller package without the integrated mount. The switch is made from injection molded plastic and fully potted to provide extra degree of protection in harsh environments and ensures a durable long lasting switch.
ModButton Lite utilizes a patented Unity Tactical design which supports power delivery needed by the next generation of high output weapon lights like Modlite. A Unity built Surefire® compatible cable lead allows ModButton Lite to be backwardly compatible with all Surefire®, Arisaka and Modlite Scout bodies as well as Surefire UE and DS00 tail caps. If constant on is a requirement we recommend using a SF DS00 tail cap which can be found here.
One problem that exists today is older legacy switches are not able to pass the current needed to run current and future generation lights. These older switch designs do not allow Modlite light heads to run at full power. Typically these switches reduce output by 15-20%. ModButton Lite utilizes an updated plug design as well as improved electronics that allow the ModButton Lite to output at full power so all the lumens and candela can be put to good use.
Note on cable length options: For almost all use cases the 4.5in variant is what you want to buy. Unless you have a special setup the 4.5 in cable is going to be plenty even running a laser.

Good to go. Works great with a Surefire M600 Scout with a DS00 tail cap, no flickering.

I would like to first thank Rooftop Defense for shipping my order out very quickly (ordered at about 3 PM EST, I was given a shipping label within the same hour, and then it was shipped on the same day!). I very much like the form factor of the Modbutton of it being a low-profile light switch that does not take up much rail space. The switch is momentary only and is very comfortable to acuate along with being virtually silent. The slight angle offset from where the plug and wire meet is genius for getting the wire to conform to the rail that much more!

I need to update my original review. When it works, the button is great. HOWEVER, my modbutton lite stopped working before my first range day with it. It started with intermittent flickering when activating the light, I tried modlite’s troubleshooting with it to no avail. A few days later and my button is a complete dud and won’t activate no matter what. I’ve tested my tailcap with standard SF ones and it works as intended. Maybe I just have a bad button? I’m going to try to contact modlite and get a new one if possible.

Super sweet button. Fast shipping from Sol as always. Only thing I wish it had was an option to double press for constant.
