looking for modding/driver installation tips, additional mod tips and cooling tips
G'day from Australia,
I have the Keygos '8500 Lumens' (cough) torch which has been handy for hiking at night but I'm selling it at full price and upgrading. I'm currently engaged in a lumens arms race.
I've got a UniqueFire UF-S7 Cree XM-L U2 7-LED 5-Mode Flashlight coming in the mail soon:
Manafont.com | $78 UniqueFire UF-S7 Cree XM-L U2 7-LED 5-Mode Flashlight - Black Aluminum Alloy Finish (2/3*18650)
I plan to mod it with the 7 LED Series 3-Mode Low Voltage Protection for Two li-ion Battery Circuit Board which I have alreay received:

I've got some 26650 batteries coming soon:
Manafont.com | $13.33 TrustFire - Protected TF 26650 3.7V 5000mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (1pc/set)
Manafont.com | $12.47 MarsFire - Protected 26650 3.7V 5000mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (1pc/set)
So i'm looking for modding/driver installation tips, additional mod tips and cooling tips.
My regular weekly hike/run is 2 hours duration so I'm hoping that using a lower setting on the final modded torch will give me 2 hours lifespan and then I can use the brighter setting to blaze people, show off and generally be a twat. :yh:
Any tips greatly appreciated, I'm keen to set up additional heatsinking and liquid/paste thermal transfer.
My neighbour is an eccentric electronic engineer and one of my good mates is an electronic engineer also so don't hold back on suggestions.
Also, what's the easiest way to disassemble the Keygos?
