I finally got up the nerve to try the 2-stage mod to my Fenix L1 Lighthound Special, now that i have my L1P....
stopped into Radio Shack and picked up the lowest value resistor i could find (10 ohm 1/4 watt), the "low" setting is rather low, about half the intensity of a Dorcy 1AAA 5MM light, but it's just right for dark-adapted navigation and late night reading
the main reason that i went with the 1/4 watt as opposed to the 1/8 watt resistor is simple... radio shack didn't have a 1/8 watt resistor, and i wanted to try the mod anyway
i'm mostly happy with it, low mode is fine for house navigation without blowing out my night vision, i may put a 1/8 in if i can find one, a little more brightness on low would be nice
....although, the runtime on 1/4 would be *phenominal*, it's just right for house navigation and reading, and high is there if i need it....
