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?
Yes, 2x 330 Ohm, 165 Ohm resultant resistance and that is very low, the leds are probably really bright?
I checked my X2R build and it has 3x 33 kOhm parallel, so 10 kOhm resultant resistance. My tail leds are green and still very bright. You may try a bit lower, say 10kOhm each, 5 kOhm resultant resistance.
Do you have a DMM or some type of meter? I would find out what the original wires did.
The black is ground so I guess it’s a common ground design. So black wire to the G.
Confirm the white is for the switch. If so, it should go to the S.
The new driver only has output for one switch led so you need to choose which color led you want to connect to the new driver.
Maybe red wire is for red led and green wire for green led? What kind of switch lights are on the MF04? Whichever LED you choose you can attach that to the L which should be the MCU controlled LED output or you could attach it to the LS which should be a steady output.
