I have just destroyed a good T3 Led.....
I tried to freeze it too many times and peices of the regulator board kept coming out, but not the unit itself, until finally there wasn't much left so I drove a wooden dowel through it and, Wa Laa!!
Well needless to say, I need to start from scratch.
I think I will bore it for a 18650, it seems to have plently of room, though maybe not so much for heatsinking ????? Although I haven't found a good way to do this yet.
Then insert a new converter/regulator with maybe a Lux WWOJ 5W or so, (here I will need help as in sugggestions of what works well together and other things I have not thought of yet). *Edit...* I forgot, the board needs to be 18.3 mm (23/32").
Then maybe a dual stage clickie, (not sure what will fit). I actually like the original single stage the light came with but what the hey..Everyone need a dual stage for coolness.
I think at first I will stick with the supplied optics to see how it will look, these are throwers anyway, and with a better Lamp, who knows?
Any other thoughts? Can any one sugest how I can accomplish the tasks?
It really should be quite a project if I can figure out each step properly.
BTW, has anyone been successful in disasembling the tail cap switch?
Thanks for your input.
