Hey
I bought an Ultrafire DT-C6 Cree Q5 off ebay, although it was listed as an Ultrafire K8. I didn't really know much back then, I just needed a decent torch for work that was rechargeable, and it was a good price, so I went for it.
Anyway, it works well and all, but I find the flashing modes VERY annoying, especially when I hand the torch to my manager to use and it almost gives him an epileptic attack!
So I started trying to work out the electronics of the thing, to see if I could modify it so that it only has the low, medium and high modes.
Since then, I've searched all sorts of things, all over, and signed up to this website. From what I've found, my driver seems to be very basic. However, I can't work out what this component/chip is, that is on the board. It's marked with the code CBB2f. I've searched all over and can't find any information on it. I've also tried to search for information on the driver itself, using the number that is printed on it, and to no avail. Additionally, I've searched for information about my Ultrafire DT-C6 (or K8?) and still not found anything. To be honest, I didn't think my torch was a genuine branded torch, but it seems as thought the model number has just been made up altogether! There doesn't seem to be much information for it at all.
Anyway, if anyone could provide any information that might lead me to figuring out how the driver works, that'd be great. Even if you could just suggest what the chip might be, and what it might do!
Thanks in advanced.

This is my driver. The chip in the middle is the one I'm not sure about. It has CBB2f printed on it. Also, to clarify, and the components as either side resistors? With a value of 220 ohm for the one on the left, and 471 ohm for the one on the right? And the component underneath, the brown one, is that a capacitor or resistor? And how can I find out the value of it?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
