I'm about to do my very first flashlight mod (drop in driver swap) but I would like to confirm my basic understanding of the electrical paths in a flashlight before doing so. Does the following picture look alright to you?
Question: why are there two connections to the led from the driver board? I thought the bottom of the LED board was supposed to be electrically connected to the flashlight body to complete the circuit?
Also, is there a way to check for bad connections and short-circuits before turning on the flashlight after the mod? I don't want to risk shorting out the battery or destroying the driver
thanks
