Well,my own plan is to just use a 6x 7135 Ak47 or 105 driver and add a momentary switch to engage an extra bunch of 7135s for turbo mode.
This way you can not leave it on in turbo and when too hot you will let go of the button (which would be in the head of the flashlight).
We’ll see…
But i’m not into electronics, PCB design and / or chip programmng at all, but i like the idea of a momentary turbo button.
The properties are different. Sorry, don't understand it all, but for example with a 350 7135, you can get down to a PWM value of 2 or 3, while with a 380 you can only go as low as 4 or 5. So the 350's have a better range. I don't think it's as simple as binning them differently. The problem is the 7135 has gone obsolete years ago, so what's on the market now is clones, or clones of clones, so I wouldn't trust the specs you can find, or even the source. TK says there's even differences between 350's, so it's a difficult part to depend on for specs. The ones from FastTech seem to have been consistent. I've had many buys from them over the years, sometimes by the 100, sometimes by 10-50. Also the 350's over perform a little, while the 380's under perform a little, so really there's not much difference. Forgot where but more recently, a few of us were posting about 7135's and pretty much all agreed the 350 were the better ones, and to stay with them. It's what we use now in populating the FET+1 drivers, and the triple drivers.
Maybe this thread should be renamed to "KD Deals and endless esoteric discussion about things not Deal Related that makes you regret your last numerous visits to the thread to hear about the new KD deal and actually is not a deal but a continuation of the endless discussion about some unrelated esoteric concept that should have been taken to a separate thread and then wanting to stab yourself in the head for being so dumb to return to the thread Thread".
I wouldn’t give such a long name to a topic, but ImA4Wheelr’s point of view is right. This is a topic regarding KD Deals and new products thread. That’s why I’ve subscribed, not for “endless esoteric discussion about things not Deal Related”. I also keep on returning to see a new deal, just to get another frustration when I see it’s one more off-topic post.
So… please make a new thread to discuss whatever off-topic (at this thread) you want.
Hi BanL , i received 2 of this order its bright, i luv it but one was dead on arrival. i only realized it after i spend all the work mounting it and it doesnt work, no light or flash just nothing ,very anticlimax :weary: . i know its rare but its the first time it happened to me. i tried to email but got no reply , is there some sort of guarantee cause i waited some time to do it and there will be more delays from this? Thanks.
I think all the KD triple emitters come with an optic.
Been staring at the KD optic and the pic of the Carclo on Mtn. I can not see any differences, really look identical too me. But I don’t have the KD in hand to check on a Carclo.
