Hello,
I'm new here, but want to modify a light that I have. The light is the exact size for the pouch I use.
It has a five mode driver and this is the feature I cannot stand. What I want is a one or two mode driver. I've found one on DealExtreme that I can live with, but it is a 17mm driver and the flashlight uses a 20mm driver.
DealExtreme Driver: http://www.dx.com/p/17mm-2800ma-5-m...utm_campaign=club_skureview_page#.VE9okb6T-w9
Here is the driver that is in the light:
So, unless I can find a 20mm Driver that fits the bill, I was thinking about desoldering all the components off of the existing driver, simply using it for the + and - connections of the light and wiring the new 17mm driver between it and the emitter.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Especially, if someone knows how to mode the current driver to one mode (high) without going to direct drive.
Thanks
Colin
