I had a bit of time to play with the MosX 20mm MCPCB and the LUXEON V emitter.
First I tried it in a EE X6 with a BLF A6 driver, I got 8.56 A draw on turbo but I couldn’t find a centering I thought fitted properly.
I ended up with a Sofirn C8 host and a MTN-17DDm driver giving 9.31 A draw on turbo
I used one of these Convoy centering rings reamed out to fit the emitter
The think the MCPCB’s are great, but it does take a lot more heat to solder the wires. The amp draw is very high so I will be ordering a LD-B4 6Amp driver and a ILC-0 Illuminated tailcap.
When will you have the Luxeon V on 16mm board back in stock?
Im wanting to build a new EDC light for the coming year with LD-A4, ILC-1, thermal kit for S2+, and Luxeon V. Everything is my cart but the Luxeon
Would it be possible to order the 3XP 4040 board with the luxeons already soldered on it? If so, please PM with information about additional costs etc.
Thanks in advance!
So how does this work, for instance if you use a 4-6A driver does that mean that 4-6 is max current? How much current does the other modes have then? What's the lowest it will go to? What's the mode percentages? Would the ld-4 work with xhp50.2/70.2? aswell how about triples in parallel? For example s2+ with triple xp-g3?
The 4-6 A driver has a high mode that’s configurable over a range from 4 to 6 amps. In the programming, you can set it to be either of those values, or anywhere in between in 250mA steps.
The lower modes are then percentages of that maximum. Lowering the max lowers them all, so they stay visually linear. I’m not sure what the actual output current is for each mode.
The lowest is the “special” moonlight mode, which is independent of the others (in other words does not scale with the maximum) and is instead fixed at either 2.5mA, 5.0mA, or 7.5mA. Or you can turn it off. Its very dim.
The LD4 currently only works with 3v emitters, so no XHP-series stuff. Its great on multi-emitter setups though, as long as its 3v emitters in parallel. I’ve got them on several triples.
oh yeah I must read it through thank you! Btw what do you think is suitable max amps for a triple s2+? What would be best ? how far can you push it? I know it gets hot and should only use high amps in short bursts but what do you think?
