Beginner modder questions? Help would be appreciated.

[Juggernaut]

I just started getting in to flash light "stuff" and I would like to start modding my lights, though there is still some things I simply don't understand and if any one of you out there could shed some light "ignore the pun" it would be greatly appreciated: How do you over drive a light? What do you use to over drive a light such as using something like a"1 ohm NTC" what is that? Where do I buy it? What's a driver board? And were can I find a cheap light meter? Thanks:wave:.

Jug....you really need to take some time just reading and learning.

This is the welcome mat;( if I got the link right).
I would also suggest you think of some simple mods- going full bore might be a bit much. ALso look in the marketplace- many members sell items there.
Deal Extreme sells driver boards, and I think a meter too. You must use paypal with him.

You probably haven't gotten much response because your asking for a full education- rather than one or two specific questions.

Take a bit more time...good luck!

Just check out the jeers section before ordering from dealextreme, I didn't much to my cost.
