2 stage mod for Streamlight ProPoly 4aa Lux?

Is there a 2 stage mod for the Streamlight ProPoly 4aa Luxeon avaiable or discussed on CPF?
A search had no results.

Actually I started a thread with nearly the same title about 6 months ago

Streamlight Pro Poly 4AA luxeon 2 stage?

Thanks srvctec.
Unfortunately the pic of the switch has gone.
wasBlinded is absolutely correct about the theory.
I think there must be a solution to add a resistor to such a popular light.
It should only be a mechanical problem.

This is a tough problem since the water-proof integrity of the light must be retained plus all the electronics in the light are contained within the aluminum head/heatsink for the LED. The switch at the tail cap is contained in a black rubber cap housed in a long plastic body.

The most likely/unlikely solution will be for Streamlight to introduce a 2-level light. Streamlight addresses the emergency worker market and there's not a great demand for 2-level lights there IMHO.

I just pmed Everett to see if he can put the photos up again.

Thanks srvctec for the PM.

That's really a very special switch. I think you don't have to uncrimp those two brass rings. It looks like the switch can be opened just by bending the two plastic clamps but you'll have to pay attention to flying springs!

Maybe it is not necessary to open the switch. Just soldering a resistor between the brass rings should make it a high/low switch and on/off will be done by twisting the head?

Another alternative will be a second magnetic switch.

My SL 4AA is on the way (currently at the customs) and I'll have a closer look when it arrives.
