Hi,i am trying to make an Ultrafire CREE XM-L T6 LED 18650 Flashlight just single mode only but keeping
the same driver,i have some 3V~5V 4* AMC7135 LED Flashlight Driver Circuit (Generic) 1400mA / reverse polarity protection / 17mm drivers from fast tech but just trying to see if can make original driver single
mode.I have several different 18650 flashlights that i want in single mode only but easiest way i can and
trying to keep original drivers where i can.I tried running a couple of them direct with centre spring + wired straight to the led but they went really bright blue for a couple of minutes then died.
Just made a 7W 65OLM CREE Q5 LED Focus Zoomable Flashlight single mode by removing brown capacitor
and works perfectly.Did the same to the Ultrafire CREE XM-L T6 LED 18650 Flashlight but made no difference at all and still has all the same modes,there was only 1 capacitor on the driver but removing it
didn’t make any difference so don,t know what else i can try to just make it 1-mode on/off.
Is there a simple way to mod drivers to single mode only,not bothered about maximum current etc just
want to make the flashlights all 1-mode only but not burn out using different batteries.Is there a way i could wire the batteries direct to the leds but add a resister or something to limit the current so dont destroy the leds.I have various models of 18650 flashlights C8 etc and want them all just to have single
mode only in the quickest and easiest way possible,i have fitted fast tech drivers to the torches using
17mm drivers as quick swap but not all my drivers are that size so would be more work changing them.
So just want a quick way to wire the flashlights to single mode on/off that wont overheat or burn out the leds.Any ideas?
thanks terry
