Hi All.

I hope this is the correct or best place for this post.

I have bought a U5 cree LED spotlight from a Chinese website (Bang....)



I see from many other users on various forums that it has the annoying high, low, strobe effect associated with many Chinese Cree torches.

I (with a friend at work) have looked at the guts of one of these lights to spot what causes the three modes and how to "fix" it to one of them (not the strobe obviously).

It didnt take too long to spot the PWM controller and fix the light to a permanent high output. So no more low or strobe effects!

Its a simple fix and all you will need is an 0805 chip 10-12k resistor, soldering iron and (depending on how you work) thermal compound.

I wont cover the strip of the light. Its simple enough but if people want a full instruction sheet i will put one together.

Simply remove the PWM controller (U2) and solder the chip resistor to pin 1 and 3 (shown below).

Reassemble the lamp and Roberts your mothers brother.

Hope its of some help.
