UltraFire WF-501B MC-E (Circuit board)- need help

[Zalupok]

I have these flashlight
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39359
From fresh cell it eats only 1,4 A/h, but then i fast drops till 1,2 A/h. When a battery shows 3,6V the driver eats on max only 0,6 Ah. So bad..

I think to replace these stupid driver with a lot of stobes to a driver for MCE (2,5Ah) with only 3 or 2 modes (Hi,low or hi,med,low)
I am using these flashlight for cycling, so i need a Max, to riding in the dark and low, just to using in the street, just to make me seeing better for a car drivers.

Heatsink will be ok. I use it only with cycling and i have putted a lot of heatsink grease around the reflector, so the drop in give the heat to the housing.


It will be my first mod...

Could you give me advice, where to get the driver for my flashlight?
Maybe someone have any not required driver, which can be sold for me?

Leads in multimeter were changet with better one... and the current Ah increased from 1,2 to 1,4 Ah from fresh cell))

Get the 2.8A 8x7135 Driver from Shiningbeam and replace the leads it comes with.
After that, make sure your p60 module makes good contact with the host, since you need a good thermal management if you don't want it to be cooked. Get some aluminium/copper tape.

MCEs are fairly efficient, but if your thinking of a single cell boost it is difficult to avoid the high current consumption readings:green:

Fichtenelch noted a suitable driver, but I'm not readily able to tell if what is in the pic in actually a P60 module:thinking:
If it is usually locating a suitable P60 dropin will do.

That light is a p60 host, i also have an ultrafire wf 501 here, upgraded to mc-e by myself. pretty floody actually...

Shiningbeam do not ship to latvia.. bad idea to buy there..

maybe someone may advice me better cycling flashlight? on MCE or P7..
It must be bright, not too floody.
These which i have is good one. but not to bright as necessary.

 

[Fichtenelch]

Then have a look at this driver
If your light is not bright enough, then it might be useful to change the driver before you buy another one.

Omg..
I have changet the batts from
Trustfire Protected- blue
to the
Trustfire protecter- black and red
And the flashlight drain from batt increased to 2,4 Ah from fresh cell.

)
I will not buy these blue batts again.
