I want to swap Leds from a UV light to my kr4.
Is there a guide on doing this?
Would I need special tools?
I have zero education in electronics.

Thats not the typical, easy, emitter swap!

the UV led and the white led have different voltage and amperage ratings, you can not use the electronics oft the other light.

Maybe when you get the whole "pill" (electronics + led) out and into the new host.
Even then ... be sure the thermal path is fulfilled

Ah that makes sense.

My usual guy who mods lights is having issues and too busy to work on flashlights at the moment.
Guess I'll have to be patient.
I have a UVbeast that is super bright, and want 2 of the LEDs in my kr4 (which has 2 UV leds already). The UV in the kr4 is much too weak.
