    HS 802 mod time

    I changed out the LED and forward driver board on my HS-802 (there's also a circuit board in the tailcap that controls high/low functionality). I put in a Cree Q5 and this driver board: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25505 It wasn't a huge difference but it is brighter now with just...

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    I'm sure y'all are all tired of hearing about my stumbling through this, (nobody likes to watch sausage being made;)) but I have another question. Even though the 4.7ohm resistor brings the current usage down to 220mA, when I take a reading from the 18650 battery with the resistor in place, it...

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    Whoops. The 18650 battery that I was testing with, last night was rather drained. I realized this when I was fiddling with the setup tonight and had a different battery. When I took a current reading it pegged out the meter. So after some checking and measuring, I realized the one from last...

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    Even though I found how to TAKE measurements for draw, I don't know how to INTERPRET the readings. I had the selector set at DCA-250m (the other two DCA settings are 500u and 10m, but on both of these, the needle would peg out to max). Here are the readings from my measurements: Thanks again.

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    Okay, I found a thread here on CPF that explains measuring draw. I'll do this when I get home tonight.

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    Yikes, now I'm confused again! Seriously, thanks so much for the help. Two of the blinkies have 9 LEDs on their circuit boards and one has 3 LEDs. But all of them take 2x AAA batteries. Does this mean their circuit boards are designed to dissipate any extra current coming at them? The only...

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    Thanks for the info. :thumbsup: It's all starting to make sense. I purchased the resistors a few years ago for a project that never happened-life kept getting in the way. Anyway, here is what I'm trying to do with these: I have several LED lights with circuit boards, designed to run off 2x AAA...

    Trying to decipher resistor numbers?

    I have several resistors here in front of me... This is what they say on the packages: 1: 1/2w 4.7 ohm 5% 2: 2w .47 ohm 5% 3: 5w 2.2 ohm 5% 4: 5w 2.7 ohm 5% And both 5w resistors have a store label that reads "Power Wirewound Resistor. Voltage = 200." I guess it just baffles me that a half...
