@ JaredM; Iâll try to get some comparative beamshots up, but my camera is lacking the manual settings to do it well.
@ M4D M4X; Just for you, I took a reading without the battery tube & switch assy; Jumping a 25r through the multimeter showed a little over 4.5a. Obviously the meter eats up a little current, but itâs all I have to measure it.
A wise decision bro! Modding flashlights is a gratifying experience. And the good thing about being in BLF is that the people here are always willing to share what they know.
Stick a UCLp AR lens in there and watch how high that throw number jumps.
My dedomed XM-L2 is making 369.25Kcd.
Nice work on that tail switch, not sure all three points were necessary at under 5A, but you gave it the whole 9 yds at any rate. Makes me want to add a switch to my XM-L2 version. Itâs currently sitting awaiting use with the battery tube screwed out to break connection. Would be nice to not have to do that!
The switch in the tail cap is a brilliant idea, one of those that makes you say âHmmm, why didnât I think of that?â
Took about an hour to do what with getting everything out and putting everything away, and itâs just perfect! Positive lockout to keep the e-switch from draining the cells. The e-switch still works as expected and this is the icing on the cake.
I thought I am the only one getting this âmoonlight modeâ when it is off, so is it really normal? I did the same thing like you by bridging the sense resistor and I couldnât get rid of this annoying âmoonlight modeâ when it is supposed to be completely off! I reflowed the LED a few times (wasted a few drops of my AS5 as well ) and even have changed it into a new XM-L2 just hoping to solve this issue but I still failed. It could be my soldering skill is poor but I have inspected every connection as carefully as I could but I didnât notice anything strange though.
I see it as an issue⊠I even have created a thread here looking for opinions. Does anyone else have this issue? I couldnât find other people experiencing this yet.
Best mod I can think of for the Corui, and very smooth work on the tail switch, well thought out! And you would think that the 32mm Noctigon should be wide enough to provide clearance for any reflector, but no.., LOL
bibihang, if I remember correctly there was some talk about some drivers not liking the sense resistor completely bridged in that it messed with the PWM to the extent that it wouldnât completely shut off, not recognizing the off level through the e-switch. There needs to be some resistance for the driver to recognize off.
Threads like this annoy me though I ordered my Courui 10 days ago and its not fair that everyone else is playing with their lights and I dont have oneâŠ
