Here's a pic of the resistor a member from Sweden sent me. It will give you the boost that you are looking for. The band colors are from left to right , Black, Red, Red, Silver, Brown. Hope this helps.
Not got the 2 torches yet and will upload when I get them, may be delivered in a few weeks. I thought all the drivers in the model were the same.
I was doing to try adding a extra 1 to 2x 0.22ohm resistors in parallel with the 3 small smd resistors.
are you sure the picture is correct as it shows a 200ohms, as I thought the smaller the value of the sense resistor the higher the current.
The newer ZY-T08s are coming with a different driver than that one, but the principle is the same. If I remember correctly, there is now 4 sense resistors--I think they are 1 ohm each, but I'll have to check to be sure. It is still just a DD driver with PWM control, so it is pretty safe to lower the resistance level until you get to where you want to be.
also is the Cree XM-L2 U3 a good upgrade for the light and also what tint do you recommend?
also what is the best place to buy one and to make sure its genuine too.
Sorry about the late update as it took a few months for them to come and did not have the time to do them mod until now.
done the wire mod and added 2 resisters and output is not much or any improvement over the stock torch.
picture of the driver is attached and its fitted with aluminium reflector.
by looking at the picture now many have fitted the wrong resistors
I can’t see why not. But You are not going to hit 6A for sure. Without major modification (braided springs, another switch, pill-body contact, pill-driver contact, improved heatsinking) don’t expect much.
He’s going to have to tinker with the driver (which he’s committed to), but heatsinking shouldn’t be a horrible issue with this host.
Relic38 (and probably others) have dropped MT-G2’s into the same host at 4.5a (6v part makes this ~30w)
was going to use common available parts to it will be easy for everyone to do and will see how it goes.
can send picture if you want and will take a week or so to get the parts needed.
also waiting on 2x Panasonic NCR18650B
also what do think CREE XM-L2 U3-1A on copper SINKPAD or Copper Noctigon?
Led tint is a personal preference thing. Cooler LEDs have higher lumen output since they have less layering to get to white. Neutral and warm tints overlay the die with more phosphors to change the tint and this has a negative effect on lumens so it comes down to where on the spectrum you find the light pleasing and the output satisfactory. For white I like 1D but I prefer a hint of rose over a hint of green.
