How to change a resistor on a 7W Golston?

[code1]

Hello Guys!!!

I have a 7W Golston, I think it is not advisable to run it on RCR123 Battery,
How to change a resistor on a 7W Golston? I'll be changing to a 5 Ohm resistor,
I mean how to disassemble the LED unit, If it had pictures it would be much help.

Thanks!!!

Unscrew the head and remove the 2 screws that hold the Luxeon down. You'll see the resistor underneath

A lot will depend on which version of Golston you have. I would suggest reading the Golston thread for starters.

I use 3.9 ohms. This entire thread is good, start here for some resistor discussion:
