I have just dismantled* my Fenix PD30, the pill? appear to be solid with holes drilled for wires, so fitting a driver in will not be easy.
I am thinking of making a cylinder 14,2mm long and 18,8mm wide with a hole for a 9mm module, or front and business of a 12mm module. It would replace the reflector and glass.
My tailcap measurements show 0,76A at high setting.
It looks to me like it would be a perfect fit for a 140 diode.
Does anyone know what the driver is doing?
Like anything nasty as transforming the 6V 0.76A down to too many amps.
(Yes I could unsolder the LED and find out myself, but I see no reason to take any risk if someone here know about it.)
*Nondestructively so far.
ETA:
The Cree XP-G R4 emitter:
130-347,5 lumen
350-1000 mA
3-4V
1.05W
It looks really good to me, and as if the low power modes of the light is achieved by pulsing the light.
