RaceR86 - Thanks!
I like that thread… The “real work bench” and the Frankenstein Black Thingy! 
Unfortunately, it looks like my driver looks more like the pic posted by garrybunk - though I would certainly like to get rid of the annoying flashy modes. Frankly either Hi/Lo or just plain on(Hi) and off would be great. However, on mine you just see the green board where he has the white ring.
Also on mine there’s no chance that you can change modes by standing it on it’s tail, (on a flat surface) which I think you implied could happen with yours.
However, up until I started reading this forum a couple weeks ago, I didn’t even know flashlights had drivers, and even have little programs running in them. I think I’ve finally figured out what a pill is, but still not sure if I should flood or spill, or if I’m risking life and limb by putting 3 batteries in series… And I do have a bit of a collection from over the years, like my SunForce 7.5 million candle power… mostly all just junk now that I can get such power in such a small package. (not sure if/how candle power converts to lumens, though)
But I certainly appreciate that y’all are very friendly and helpful! (I was going to say “you guys” but certainly wouldn’t want to offend any females that might theoretically be out there!)
