Would an sst-40 go into a blf a6, and would you get any output gains. If so what other mods/ parts are required?
Is there another LED that’d improve output for the blf a6?
It will fit. You need a bigger centering ring for an xml2. I don’t know if it will have higher output. I want to say yes due to its lower forward voltage, but maybe someone else can say for sure.
There is no improvement, it’s already pretty much maxed out. The next step up would probably be to install an xhp70.2 and use a pair of 18350 batteries.
Oh yeah, if you don’t mind a TIR lens you can install a triple or quad led setup.
In some lights the LEDs don’t shut off instantly when I press the switch, but rather dim down until they’re completely dark which takes about 2-3 seconds. Why is this happening?
Thank you for the answer.
I know about Lexel, I already have one made by him.
I would like to try it myself, but I don’t know exactly how and what gear I need and how to go about doing it…
JasonWW already answered this and said “… The only possible issue might be that after the charger stops working it has a small drain and it could slowly discharge the battery so that after a week your battery may be dead instead of fully charged and you have to charge it all over again. …”. As far as I'm versed this should not happen because if the battery voltage drops a certain (usually small) amount while the flashlight is still plugged the charging should resume and top out the cell. You could even test this by switching the torch on for a short time while plugged, of course if it works. Best advice try and check it for yourself, no SC31 to test around here. :-)
^ the other factor involved is the resistors inline with the leds in the tail, if they are too low, the influence on the driver is higher. I use at least a few kOhm. What are your values?
