I found the third resistor, a big 1.8 Ohm old fashioned resistor with leads, floating in the pill among the thermal elastic and covered by shrinking tube. The mod is very easy to perform. The switch & resistors are in the tail of the light & are easily accessable by unscrewing the tailcap from the battery carrier. There is no wiring that runs the length of the battery carrier, the switch actually resides between the two rows of batteries electrically. Be carefull when unscrewing the tailcap from the battery carrier though because the battery carrier is kind if flimsy. Grasp only near the tailcap. As in the Lenser P7.2 and the POP lite T34, the three mode driver is a mechanical switch and resistors. Pressing the switch part way unconditionally engages an intermittent turbo mode. Pressing it all the way and releasing it cycles between high, low and off. No blinky modes or pulse width modulation, because there is no active electronics to make it blink. To change the modes one solders resistors, rather than re-writing firmware. This uses both the LED and the battery more efficiently than most electronic drivers do.

I connected it, trimmed things to fit and added a 1 mm. x 16 mm. star as a spacer. Now it works only on turbo and has no intermittent. There is room in the head for an FET driver, but that is another job. IP54 ingress rated - sufficiently protected against dust ingress to prevent normal operation. Fully protected against solid objects and resistant to splashing water from any angle This brings me to the torch in question here which is the LED Lenser P14. Some of the features of this light are. Before anybody gets into it with me about the virtues of lithium batteries & regulated circuits just let me say that I have owned them before & have The reliability record of these lights reflects their innovativeness more than their build quality.

NEW WORLDS OF LIGHT

mounted to the Cree stars. In spite of Crees claim of excellent heat transfer for the stars I found that in anouther light of mine that used the Cree star

the heat build up on the star was quite high compared to the heatsink that it was attched to which to be honest was also inadaquate on that torch as well. The battery holder is similar to that of the Lenser P7.2 https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/29466, except for the arrangement of the cells. Volts possibility It came up on the XHP-35 thread that a P7 or P14 would work as a 12 V. light with lithium ion cells. XHP-35, XHP-35 The drivers, consisting only of switches and resistors, would work without modification at other voltages. So the mod. would consist only of substituting a 12 volt LED, shortening the pillar of the pill and trimming a star (without the LED on the star). Honestly I also have no problem with you liking the light. If you are happy with it then good for you. Don't let me take away from your enjoyment. The outpup from the focusing prism is rather ringy at most settings. This may bother quite a few of you. The head is a little loose & this results in the beam being slightly off center at times. Also the focusing mechanism doesn't stop at the best overall focus for the spot beam, It overshoots it a little.

After that the reassemble the light in the same manner as you took it apart. Then you would only have two brightness levels but you will be able to use max brightness without having to hold the button in.
