jim, did you get yours from aurabuy? that’s where mine came from and it was only pulling an amp……

bell out the plus contacts and there is one on the driver that goes direct to the battery, also bell out the neg ring and move the led neg wire to there, DO NOT DO ANY FURTHER RESISTANCE IMPROVEMENTS just move the wires, you can find my pictures in the review thread that is not spasmod’s, it should instantly hot 2.45a, it will still have next mode memory, the mode group goes:-
high
off
high
off
high
off

etc

Gords,

Was the post/thread you referenced this one:

Jacob A60 - first impressions

After a long wait, I finally received the Jacob A60 (a Solarforce M8 clone). The reason for my ordering it was the 55mm head over an XR-E emitter. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/jacob-a60-cree-q5-3-mode-310lm-white-led-flashlight-w-strap-black-1-x-18650-114268?r=43033281 It came in a plain cardboard box, flattened inside the padded envelope, but still effective: the flashlight arrived in mint condition. Machining is very good, no cutting traces, not even under a magnifier. Parts fit is perfect,…

?

So, just move the blue wire on the emitter side to the outer contact ring, and the red wire on the emitter side to what looks like (from the 2nd pic) one end of the resistor in the 2nd pic? And that end of the resistor should ohm out to the battery + side on the other side of the driver (i.e., the spring)?

In your post quoted above, you listed modes, but in that post in the other thread (I linked) you said direct drive, so I’m confused about that. Is there still going to be modes after moving the red and blue wires as you suggested?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

I got this A60 from another BLF user, so I’m not sure from where it was bought. I’ll try to find the pics you mentioned and give that a try.

Thanks,
Jim
