I feel your pain Dale, I’m usually one of the last to receive a light due to my location. Kinda odd really since Aus is closer to china than US.
Anyway I did some testing of current tonight, sorry no lux or output measurements. The stock standard version 2 that I initially used for some reason would not go into turbo after the first time so I went to the second and last stock DQG26650 I had available. Test is not super accurate as I used the power supply to give me the numbers. It was all visual so give or take 0.1a and 2seconds. Input voltage set at 4v. I used an IR temp gun on the outside of the head at 60 seconds also (all of the heads were uncomfortable to hold at 60 seconds… according to me)

After doing this test I tried to resolder the jumper on the mod 2 turbo. When i retested the results were the same.
I was wondering if the driver draws more power when it’s boosting less…?? If the new driver is like that… :smiling_imp:
