hi all!

I am sourcing the materilas to mod this head... (XML with TIR Optic)

I wonder if the original SF driver outputs enough current to use/like (1A is good for me).
Else I should be changing it.

Thanks, Kostas

Original driver has round about 350mA. Original opic + XM-L = very ugly beam;) It´s better to use a reflector.
The very best way would be to sell me the KL1:D

You can up the drive current by stacking sense resistors, but it seemed to me to be hard to get consistent results. Stacking a 0.1ohm SMT resistor on top of the original to get 0.05ohm (for 750mA drive) just seemed optimistic to me.
