I've got one of these http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/super-bright-2mode-2xlir-rechargeable-p-519.html
Ind I'd like to a fit a Cree P4 i had lying around.

Unfortunately this light is kinda weird (well for me at least)
It has no driver IC, but a big fat white ceramic thingy (excuse my terminology but i got no idea what it is) that says MTE 250.

Also the light has 2 modes, but since it's got no IC i guess theyre done thru the clicky?

I'm mainly looking to know.

1) with this 2 level clicky, can I use an driver IC?
2) If so, will this be ok?

3) any other considerations i need to have in mind?

This light will be given away, so i want to do this mod for as cheap as possible, and hopefully using leftover parts from some other projects.

Anyways, I'd appreciate your help.
