Tape Switches

We offer a wide range of the highest-quality tape switches on the market. A tape switch is an accessory that is attached to your firearm as well as the flashlight mounted on your firearm. It offers an alternative on/off switch, which can be placed in a more convenient location based on your preference, and is able to be pressed without removing your hands from your firearm. Tape switches provide maximum control of your firearm, as you don’t have to remove a hand to turn your flashlight on or off. 

All Tape Switches purchased through Torch Centre come with a Full Manufacturer’s Warranty. 

Check out our Tape Switch range and feel free to email us if you have any questions.

Tactical Control and Precision Activation with Tape Switches

Tape switches provide remote, pressure-activated control for tactical torches mounted on firearms, helmets, or equipment. By relocating the activation point to a more accessible position, they allow operators to maintain full control of their light without compromising grip, stability, or situational awareness — even during high-stress situations.

Key Benefits of Tape Switches

Tape switches allow momentary or constant-on activation with minimal movement, improving reaction time and tactical control. Many models feature reinforced cables, waterproof housings, and durable construction to withstand recoil, environmental exposure, and intensive field use. Their flexible design allows secure mounting along rails, stocks, or handguards using Velcro, rail mounts, or cable management clips.

Perfect for a Wide Range of Applications

Tape switches are ideal for military, law enforcement, hunters, tactical operators, security personnel, and search and rescue professionals who require seamless control over their mounted torch while maintaining full operational readiness.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Tape Switch

• Compatibility: Ensure the tape switch is designed to match your specific torch model and mounting platform.

• Activation type: Options include momentary, constant-on, dual-mode, or multi-button configurations.

• Mounting options: Secure attachment methods such as Velcro straps, Picatinny mounts, or adhesive cable guides.

• Cable length: Select appropriate lengths for your firearm or equipment setup to avoid excess slack or tightness.

• Durability: Waterproof, dustproof, and reinforced designs resist harsh field conditions and repeated use.

• Silent activation: Smooth, low-noise operation helps preserve stealth during tactical operations.

Maintenance Tips for Tape Switches

• Inspect cables, connections, and switches regularly for wear or fraying.

• Keep contacts clean and dry to maintain reliable signal transmission.

• Secure excess cable with appropriate management solutions to prevent snagging or damage.

• Test activation before each use to ensure full functionality in the field.

Warranty and Support

All tape switches include full Irish warranty coverage, fast dispatch on in-stock items, free shipping on orders over €150, and a 30-day returns policy for complete peace of mind.
