Hey guys. Momentous (sort of) day for me today. So my 1p Chinese flashlight died. The led failed miserably and ceased working. I had my zoomy sat there with the switch that's failing so decided lets combine them. The zoomy led is a Q5 so not great and the drivers in both only deliver 0.25 amps to the led so I soldered the negative direct to the pill and then bypassed the driver and soldered the positive direct to the Spring. Now running permanent direct drive at 1.3A. Output is a little blue but works for what I need. Gets a touch warm but not what I'd call hot by any means.
