I broke my new light!!!

[Edgy]

I just recently received my new spiderfire ssc p7 light from dx and have modded the springs for increased current draw. It was working great until last night when i tried to change out the positive led contact with a thicker one. I unsoldered both the negative and positive contacts and then realized that i had to put them back on, so i did.

I put it back together and it doesn't work!!:shakehead
I tested the voltage across the positive and negative on the led and also the star board. Both are recieving a full 4.09 volts...

How is it that the led has 4.09 volts but produces no light??:thinking:
I really could use some expertise on this one.

Thanks everyone,
-Edgy

Have you checked with a multimeter if current is drawn from the battery? Not that you are producing a short...
I would doublecheck the solder joints on the driver...

Did you overheat the emitter?

Are you sure that you have the polarity correct?

hard to tell what went wrong without seeing it.... can you post macro pictures of your mod?
