Potential Mod to Armormax 3D to make it single-mode...
I read the following in the reviews (first one in the list) for the Armormax 3D on Home Despot's web site... has anyone here tried this and can verify that the following procedure is effective?
I would only recommend this product to someone with a few electrical skills or enough aptitude to modify the small circuit board that is wired to the LED through the heat sink (the board with the spring that contacts the batteries). I now only have one setting, 590 LUMENS, which is the only reason I bought the light. It is absurd that they make you cycle through all that strobe stuff. I called tech and they state there is not a version of this without cycled modes. Without this modification I was prepared to return it as useless junk. So.... If one were to move the red wire from terminal L2+ to terminal L1+ it would become a single mode 590 Lumen beast. Now it kicks butt! See uploaded photo for what the completed modification looks like. And FYI, this will void the warranty... But if its really indestructible, for $30 it is worth it!
