Ultrafire A10, C2 SS and Uniquefire S10 Question...

[kosPap]

hi all! Could the owners of these help me with a something?

I wish to modify one of these with a 1400mA driver and a forward clickie switch....

Before buying one I need to know if the Driver PCB is 17mm or soemthing else....Also if the switch is mounted on a PCB too. (usually one does not have to dissasemble the tailcap, if the switch is mounted the gfreen pcb is visible around the spring base)....

Thank you!!!!

I have the Uniquefire S10. It has a 15mm driver board (if you find something, let me know because I burned it out).

The tail switch is on a circuit board. Here is the switch taken apart:



I have it converted to direct drive and have some KD forward clickies on the way to try to install.

The forward KD one is easy to isnall i have done it in smaller boards.... just be carefull oversoladering it and creating a short....

BTW how do you like the HS10 quality?
What is the approximate output with a 14500?

That 15mm board looks pretty good, especially if it really has 3x7135 chips on it.

I liked the S10 in general but it wasn't that bright on a AA NiMH (120 lumens?) and it burned out on a 14500. It was a 6-mode from KD. As a 1-mode DD it is probably 200-220 lumens on a fully charged li-ion battery. Here's my full review:

The size of the driver that comes with the A10 measures 15.5mm to me.

hmm thanks....any way to see to see if the tailcap has the switch mounted in a PCb?

Thanks a bunch! kostas

Yes a switch is mounted on to a PCB, and is spring is on the other side of the PCB.

thanks....now if only Dx ships these boards!
