I’m thinking about doing that but it would be tripling the value of the sense resistor to get the mode levels where I want. That might be too much of a change and the driver could stop working. Not sure if it will cause the sense resistors to overheat as well.
The other option I’m cosidering is using your driver and limiting the maximum PWM.Then popping the inductors off the old driver and putting them in series with the led’s.
They would smooth out the waveform and do some load balancing as well. If one set of led’s gets too hot and starts drawing too much current the inductor will heat up increasing it’s resistance. They probably have the wrong parameters for this application so there’s a good chance they’ll overheat.
This light looks perfect for task lighting, but the UI is set up so bad.
The unbranded Banggood pre production sample lights were sent to at least 2 BLF Members as well as tested by banggood not reaching the light output
After my review and other small issues reported to Banggood there were made changes to the driver, user interface, battery carrier and the lens assembly as far as I know
Also Banggoods quality management will likely have a look at the lights before they get shipped to assure that the light is in full working condition
This also slowed down the launch of the Astrolux MF01 by at least 6 weeks
The Astrolux light is definately better than the MT18, I would buy it as its a real killer light when it comes to price and quality ratio, as well got improved with BLF
even the pre production light is good, as it is, but izt seems Matemineco lacks quality management
the UI is useable and way better than the S42s
and got changed to be like many BLF members like it, with direct access to turbo with double click
When Banggood does the changes this light will have a great UI, great light output and an unbeliveable price for what you get
