Hi,
while i was trying to mod my fenix HL21 i shorted something and i burned the driver
not a big deal, i would have probably replaced it with something else anyway. But... now i think of it: i think drivers are usually made so that they swith mode when the input circuit is momentary closed and they stay on when the switch stay closed, isn't it? Now the problem is that on the HL21 there are no switches, there is a button and the battery is always connected to the driver, then when the button is pressed and impulse is sent to the circuit (it's actually 3 wires on the input side of the circuit, not 4, cause the switch has 1 wire in common with the ground. it basically closes the third connector to ground when momentary pressed)
what should i do?
