I recently bought the Romisen RC-N3 and was wondering how to take it apart to change out the Cree. I can take off the bezel with the reflector and glass but cant take out the ring that holds the emitter and the driver board. I've seen this done before but I can't see any way to get it off without mangling the threads.
Also, in the tailcap there is a piece of aluminium holding the switch in place. I want to put an o-ring in so that the torch can tail stand. I can see the holes which are used to screw in the aluminium ring however it is in quite tight and was wondering if it might be soldered in or something. Do i just need to use brute force unscrew it out?
Lastly, Is there a way to tell which emitter you have just by looking at it. IIRC, 3 bond wires means less than P4 and 4 bond wires means P4 or above but is there any other indicators that would tell me if i have, say a q5, or a p4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
