You'll have to be more specific on the model, because I tried searching for Lumitech 2200 lumen and got no results of merit.
Regardless, it's unfortunately likely that you can't simply swap out the switch. High-powered light emitting diodes require carefully designed power circuits, unlike an incandescent bulb which can more or less be connected directly to a voltage source because the tungsten filament is itself a source of resistance which regulates the power consumed. An LED light with multiple brightness modes is going to use one of two methods of controlling the brightness: current control or pulse width modulation. The presence of Strobe/SOS modes also practically guarantees that the light has an intelligent switching mechanism, probably a microcontroller. I'm not saying it's impossible to do, but because of all this, changing the switching to purely binary operation is almost certainly going to be more involved than swapping out the switch, and without having a circuit diagram to work with, I wouldn't recommend trying.
