For about half a second before your LEDs reach 200 degrees and start melting.
With 12V LEDs, maximum current is around 3A, not 6A. For 6V LEDs, then the maximum output is roughly 6V.
What I’m really looking forward to is efficiency on the medium modes combined with a good UI. A quad 9050 219C can do around 800 led lumen at 6W, if the driver is efficient enough I think something like 600 lumen OTF for 2 hours should be easily doable with a single 18650. That combined with bistro and the option of doing 30W bursts on any battery level, all in a very compact light, would be amazing.
Do we have any estimate for how efficient it will be at around 10W ?
At middle modes likely about 90% or a bit more with the bigger footprint input capacitors
17mm and 50W. Truly impressive.
Though any body that has space for 17mm driver only likely can’t take any more than 20W for peak power or 10W for continuous power.
Convoy L2 can take 30W continous
Of course 20mm, 22mm will be availiable as well
The GT buck 2S/4S will be down to 28mm with more expensive 8x8mm inductor availiable
Even with a 3A max @ 12V, that’s still around 1500lm each for ~4500lm turbo.
I see a upgrade in the future for my E2L. :heart_eyes:
Also, the idea of a EE X6 or a C8 w/ xhp35 would be fun.
Hmmm, X5 pocket thrower
Lots of possibilities w/ this 17mm boost driver.
You can get similar numbers with 3V LEDs, for ex. 3x Luxeon V would do ~3x1500lm at 4A each, and with good regulation time becuase of low Vf (~3.15V)
I doubt we will see widspread use of NTC’s until we move to a more modern MCU with more pins. Like the 1616 or 1617. When we move to those, then lots of doors open.
Also, we are out of space on the tiny25 for anything else anyways, so it sure won’t be added to that.
You can fit tiny85 here.
Attiny85 with Narsil switch pad added
also all 3 pads unused now availiable,
one shares the voltage divider, which is in Narsil the indicator LED pad
Will you be releasing schematics and parts list? It looks like the ATtiny1634 will fit nicely.
I will release everything when it’s tested.

Which is part of why I will be working on and testing yours (plus the latest design is better).

Only interested in this design too. Loneoceans did release his stuff, but to my knowledge no one other than him actually built one. Now he ain’t here no more.

yeah Shoki is working with Eagle and I am with Diptrace, but final design should be technically identical

Then why bother messing with the design? Just use Schoki’s design once it is released.
Just in case and to cross-check for any errors creeping in?

basically why I was not happy with poor cooling of the boost chip with no viases to the other layers and the option to put more boards on a Seeed 10x10 board in production
and I got no Eagle, no advanced license for it and I think getting used to a 2. program is too much
did a 24-30mm variant
OPA parts got closer together
12mm inductor to save money with better performance
Patiently waiting for the single cell XHP50.2 goodness. Any tests!?
