sense resistors-UF-F10

Ok, so I have a little used/loved UF-F10 that I want to mod.Swaping out the LED to a Noctigon XML2T63C won’t be a problem.But, I’d like to up the drive current….a lot.So I unscrewed the driver board from the battery carrier and found what I think are the two sense resistors.I don’t have any surface mount resistors, and even less patients tonight.What would happen if I just jumped over the resistors?If the current went to high would I only damage the original LED or could I damage the driver?I don’t care about the LED, but would like to keep the original driver.I’m plugging in the iron and getting a jumper wire right now!LOL >)

OK, I waited until after dinner and no response from the experts.I think I will just wait until after work tomorrow before I jumper over the two sense resistors.I really don’t want to kill the 8.4volt driver.Wouldn’t mind seeing the very cold xmlt6 turn angry blue though!-Rick

Post a picture of the driver.

I wish I could but the laptop is dead and I can’t post pictures with my tablet.The driver has two boards mounted on the battery carrier(it’s a lot like the FenixTK35).There are only three resistors between the two boards and only two are in parallel like other sense resistors that have been posted before.I know that the resistors on the TN31 can be jumpered w/out problems but I just don’t want to chance killing this driver.I may get braver as the night goes on and just try in anyways though!

No mobile phone with camera? Has the tablet no camera?

Normally it is simple like you say with the sensing resistor but you always have to consider that all parts have to be able to withstand the higher power.
There is a 19mm two cell to one XML driver available which is nice, so if this would fit you can have this in mind as a insurance……

A good method to try what is possible is to use a 10ohm tripod solder it in place and slightly decrease resistance to increase current. This is described in the zyT13 thread.
So just order some pots and resistors from fastech to have them on hand for your next mod…
