Well, shows what I know - I thought the diodes looked like banded resistors. Now I know I don't know how to mod one for lower low. Hoping someone who understands this stuff better than me comes up with a relatively easy solution, I'd break back into one if I knew I could do it.

As it is, I just use the low mode 100% of the time. It's usually more than I need, and high is not that much brighter, especially on a low battery, and then it will eventually become lower than the low mode.

If you use low all the time you could just cut the circuit coming from one of the battery posts and attach a suitable resistor to bridge it there and you would have lower output but it would come at a price of the high mode also being throttled down similarly and reduced output/runtime at lower levels.
