how to mode the kl1 to run at higher current?

chesterqw · Aug 23, 2006

ello. old here

i was wondering if the kl1(new versions) can be modded to run at higher current level.

can anyone tell me the current level they are at currently?

and what does those sense resistors thingy do? what do i have to do to have higher amp to luxIII?
tktk.

IIRC, the stock version drives the LED around 550ma.

The sense resistors determine how much current is sent to the LED. The resistance is inversely proportional to the current output, meaning to increase the current x2, you halve the resistance.

Oh man. I did not need to see that. I just got a new E1L today!

LOL kdog.

thanks Kryosphinx. now to buy one

i was always thinking that the current is poportional to the resistance and not inversely.

now to ask another thing, can the vital gear's 2x cr123 body hold a 18650? or 17670?

FYI, 17670 is alright! but 18650 is too fat!

I also aiming on the KL1 but i am current poor... consider broke if i think of my bank loan, Credit Card...

No you cannot use protected 17670. It's too fat.

Depends on the individual body/cell. I have seen AW new protected 17670 fit fine in one tube and fit but very tight in another.

dang. makes me want to save more money for the whole E2L....

the E2L's body will fit the 17670 right?

E2L? I'm not sure.
I have used E2D body for 17670. You can use any 17670 with E2D body.

Cheers

hmm... i was told that the E2D,E2E,E2L and L4 share the same body. i think it will work.

how to mode the kl1 to run at higher current?
