Make my Led Lenser P7 better?

Re: Led lenser P7 as candle light.

Hi
Thanks for the advice. I have decided its a mainly indoor torch (flashlight). Maybe up to 2hours reasonable light before need to replace the batteries, on the high mode.

So what torch did you change your P14 to? I have the LD41 for outdoors.

Ps I have a question. Can I just buy a 3xAA holder and have a positive and negative wire from each connector, that goes to the inside f the led lender? Why are there 3 connectors? Which one is positive and negative 🙂

Re: Led lenser P7 as candle light.

so if i was to use the product : N61CA on the maplin.co.uk website,
Q1 which 2 resistors would i need?
Any pics or references to show how to do it?
I just had a thought, u said its a voltage regulator not a current regulator, is this thing I'm looking at a dc to dc voltage regulator so I get a consistent brightness till the battery finishes ?
Q2
if i connect a 4x AA battery holder with a positive and negative wire, to the area where the gold connectors go to in the tube behind the head:
what part is positive and negative on the inside of the tube, behind the head?
e.g

ps
it maybe just too much effort as we been advised earlier, so one last question...
Q3
how long do you think the P7 would last on 1000mAh nmih batteries at the peak brightness? 3 hours? 5 hours?



Thank you

Re: Led lenser P7 as candle light.

IMPORTANT..


I only unscrewed the back of the torch (flash light) like you would replace batteries, that's it.

I got a 4 AA battery holder and have connected it to the LED Lenser P7. The Positive red wire goes to the CENTRE connector. The NEGATIVE black wire goes to the OUTER CIRCLE SHAPE CONNECTOR, just behind the focus head.

Its running Direct Drive, so thats the full 200 Lumens. Feels warm but i'll see it its ok. Can only last me maybe 2.5 hours max. So once brightness begins to dip its usless to me, so i'll stop using it.

Led Lenser need to make a wider tube and the option of sliding in a longer battery holder which can be AA.

Thank you
