I had several SF KL1 modules.

While playing with Z57 tailcap with resistor installed, noticed that the beam output from various KL1 had difference brightness level, although the resistor value is constant. Suspect this may be due to the Vf of each LED modules.

Would appreciate if electronic whiz on CPF could advise how to measure the Vf of the above LED modules. Many thanks in advance.

The vf of the led is to measure parallel directly on the led. So you have to open the head and check it on the led.

Hope this helps
