Good luck with the mod. I hope it works out for you. I have only used mine with 14500’s and I think it rocks. It’s very bright, nice flood not too ringy decent throw as well. It’s one of my most favorite lights. I use it fairly often in fact I don’t even know if it does have parasitic drain. I haven’t noticed if it does. I suppose if I put it away for a week or two with the batteries in it I might have a problem but I don’t do that with any of my lights.
Nothing has changed. More confused than ever. To top it off the thing (for want off a better word) works like a charm. Back to the Bex and another Nanna nap for me. Well done.
I added a video explaining Parallel to Series on this Rook mod. It's laughable, but maybe it will be useful to someone out there.
EDIT: "The Driver Contact Plate"
I stripped all components from that driver plate, so it was a bare contact plate. Since the plate is bare now, I can use a meter and see where the one area is, that makes the contact, from one side of the plate to the other side. I just metered the plate and there was one location, where it went through to the other side. Then I cut the plate, so that area was the positive contact.
Thanks Mr Lumens. I'm probably speaking for .1% off people on this forum. I think that just leaves me? I know about parallel and series no problem. Its just the way you went about making it work. If a pictures worth a thousand words your video is worth 10,000 words. From all the .1%off people here, thanks for going to the effort off explaining it further.
Olds, I loved that revision in series and parallel batteries. Esp that part when a cig popped in and out quickly! Me not smarter than a 5th grader in this. Just to be sure, its 6v total for a double stack of 3xCR123s in an M6…yes?
