Hi guys im new to the site my question is , is it possible to convert the torch to infared? im not quite sure on the driver it uses, as the driver is recessed in the heat sink it runs on 2 18650 batterys.
regards

The light is unlikely to be 1600 lumen, it's probably more like 300-500 lumen depending on the focus, but still a decent light.

As for the conversion to infrared, it'll depend on the driver of the light. The simplest might be a driver swap to a lower power buck driver and switching the LED to a infrared LED. The current driver might work, but the current (amp) output of the driver needs to be lowered unless you can find a IR LED that can take 3 A continuous.

The answer is yes, but without knowing the exact light you have and it's construction it might be more or less work to make it possible.

If you just want IR then p60 drop in's are available, head over to the Solarforce-sales site, a L2M is $11 and an IR drop in around $15 IIRC.
