The resistor in my torch is doing a subtly different job then.

You currently have a 5 mode driver which is operated by a momentary switch.

As well as removing the driver you'll need a different switch.

Calculating the correct value for the resistor would be easy if the LED had a linear response, which it doesn't, trial and error might be the easiest solution.

Rather than destroying the torch you have just buy a torch body kit from DX for $11.50 and play with that.

Torch Body Kit

EDIT: Scratch that...it's not P7......

Or just buy a torch that suits you.
