Thorfire S50 / microReview + Budget Mod

Will34 made a valid point with this question but I saw no answer. I’m hoping someone can give a range in ohms resistance that will likely achieve 4-5 amps.

M4D M4X S50 Review

Yeah I don’t think there’s any doubt you could do that, but someone will need to either find a datasheet for the components on the driver or do some trial-and-error to to find what resistor values give what results. I personally don’t have any resistors of that low value range to experiment with.

You’re right about that. There’s just not enough of these in the right hands yet to know the exact answer. I’m putting in a Mouser order and was just hoping someone could give me a likely suspect line up that I could try later. I don’t even have the light yet (Out of stock).

i can tell you that all the amps are going over that connention - to the resistors have to handle a lot power

i also have no set of resistors (nor the time) to try a lot combinations… :frowning:

The resistors appear to be much larger than 0805’s but I really doubt they carry the full amps to the LED. I’m not sure that’s what you meant though. I’ll work on it after I actually have one in my hands.
