Re: Dorcy Metal Gear 1 Watt L.E.D. Flashlight mod
I had to widen the reflector a tad bit, in order to fit the optics housing through it. THe HARDEST part of this mod was to get the darned thing apart ! In one of the pics, you see some silvery part on the case - that is where the vise grips bit through the rubber sheet I was using to pad them. I attatched a 1uf Tantalum capacitor. The cap catches any voltage "spikes" when you turn it on and off. This was a fairly simple mod, and I look forward to making a few more of these ! I am also on the lookout for a nicer looking host, and I am 50% done with another Dorcy mod - this one uses 1 AAA battery, and the untouched boost circuit. Pics later of that one - IF I get it working !
