2-stage switch module for L1P

el_vato · Aug 3, 2006

Hello again,
I have searched the forums for about an hour+ for an answer and could not find it. (Ok, I did not read every single thread, but come on I tried...)
Well any way I wanted to know will this switch work on thw l2p?

I've never used this switch but if it's anything like the 5ohm resistor in the switch mod which many people (including myself) have used, it'll work on the L2P OK, though might give a very low output on low.

if you have a dremmel you can make this switch work. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/122273

here is a Video of my final product

What you think?

Thanks for such a quick response, I guess I'll have to ask if it is the same. if it is seems expensive ($20) for a resistor...

In post #78 in this thread from 4sevens initial sale:

He says it does give lower first stage, but appears to be dumping a lot of power in the form of heat through the resistor, presumably as the more regulated circuit attempts to maintain current through the resistor. I had the same question, as well as for the L2P head on an L1P body, and after finding nothing but this post, gave up on an L2P, as I don't want one without a nice low lower setting (not like L2T, with still very bright low).

Uh, I paid $8 for the resitor and the switch.
