Well Now I Know Why Folks Like The BTU Shocker So Much

@Tom E

PilotPtk did the resistor mod, and I’m gonna use one very close to what he used - same resistor published to mod’ing a TN31. Can’t recall off-hand, but got mine from DigiKey, about $1 each. Not at home, so can’t easily access BLF, slow Internet here. Think if you search for resistor mod TN31 and Shocker you will find the 2 threads.

Hi,

Is this the thread that you’re referring to?

[Mod] ThruNite TN-31, How to increase the current to the led

Hey guys! Can someone be so kind to measure how much current is a stock ThruNite TN31 pulling from the battery carrier on highest level? I did a mod to increase the current to the led in my TN31 but in all the exitement to finish the mod, I forgot to take a current measurement of the stock light, I really don’t want to reverse the mod just to measure it. BTW I soldered a 0.12 SMD Resistor in parallel and the brightness increased, according to the german forum, it should be delivering 4.65a to …
