Can anyone give a technical description of how something like the Surefire two level switches work? I know it's just a resistor, but I was looking for something a little more electrical than "it fools it into thinking the battery's run out"!
I've read a lot about this type of switch, and how you can use them with BadBoys etc., but I tried holding a (39 ohm) resistor to drop the Diamond regulated 1 watt in my Mag and had to let go after a couple of seconds (ouch!).
I'm thinking that with a fully regulated boost circuit, you'd have to drop enough voltage across the resistor for the voltage across the driver to be low enough for it to fall out of regulation, if that makes sense. So, maybe I didn't have a large enough resistor??
Any help/tips very much appreciated!! Thanks!!
