I changed the switch on my Sofirn SF14 from forward clicky to reverse clicky. Simple procedure, changed the switch board and replaced the rubber tailcap with one that didn’t have the internal notch cut out. Now it’s more to my liking and I don’t have the weird single forward clicky in my collection
better disconnect the old MCU, if you want lighted switch
I have on the new board 2 LED outputs one from the MCU indicator and one permanently on battery voltage, both with resistor pad for the LEDs
Still not understanding what that means but it sounds like it doesn’t affect much on how I use the light. The only thing I wish is to know when the battery’s fully charged.
Lexel - I know it will become more evident once I open ’er up and trace the wire paths but if I understand correctly -
(a) for the new Narsil driver board I must disconnect the old MCU regardless and
(b) connect existing switch wires to “S and G” at location SW on the new Board. Will that allow the MCU Indicator to show on the old switch LEDs or light where?
Toykeeper - that low-drain Q8 button options sounds fantastic. If it isn’t already, it should become the norm. I will read up on it and try to see if/where/I can apply it.
Puglife - that’s a dramatic impact. Hope the warm tint doesn’t affect the beer.
JetBeam E20R running NarsilM + Rechargeable MicroUSB Charging, working perfectly.
It’s a tough fight (lots of swearing involved) The bezel is glued tight with blue stuff, got it off with a lot of heat from my butane torch, and bicycle inner tube for grip.
Sorry, no photos of the build process.
Dedomed XP-G2, 800lm, 24kcd with fully charged efest purple 18350.
Nice mod bwings. I think the dedomed XPG2 is a great match for smaller flashlights. Good performance with the lower heat output and battery drain suited for smaller lights.
Great mod bwings, I wish I could do that. I have an E40R that I really like, just the operation is horrible. I have changed the led (to XM-L2 3000K 90CRI) but the UI is stopping me from using it.
if you do not disconnect old MCU you have the breathing mode and charge indicator, but a massive parasitig drain
you can use L on new board to use Indicator Output and LS for permanently lit side switch
