Thanks again Loneoceans (and Lexel)… I (again) appreciate your time and patience as you both educated me here on this post.
I’ll try loneocean’s idea: using TWO 18350s in my C8(s) host I am building up next. I’ll run them DD’ed through a board (with no chips/driver “parts” on it- just a bare board AND Lexel’s FET tail switch).
Lexel just said (in a PM to me just now) that I could run a (shaved) XHP50.2 about as good as it’s gonna’ get for throw (given my form factor and it’s limitations with the C8 and using either DD or his driver)— that was also something I wondered about.
So changing gears from the XHP70.2 to the XHP 50.2 in a high tint— so when I shave the dome, it will fall down to about 5k(ish).
I will also still buy one of Lexel’s drivers when he gets them done too— I LOVE my NarsilDs in my C8Fs.
Love the options guys! You BOTH rock :+1: (… best I can do, no little smily with an air guitar available)
Lexel can you make a Buck driver for Convoy L2 to drive a dedomed XP-G2 with 6A and with 2S battery config? Or for maximum throw I will be more happy with one of your Osram black flat drivers in my L2 with a black flat led and 1S battery config? How much current a black flat can handle?
Hmm. I just like the Short L2 But I don’t want to use 26350-s. How much is the too much current? I don’t really care about runtime. Just max throw in a compact form. Or the current will be too much for the driver? Or like the XP-G2 the forward voltage going too high? Sorry for lot question but Soon I will be ordering from you some boards or complete drivers. :money_mouth_face:
I think many of us are waiting on the boost drivers… Having said that, I think Lexel is having issues with the firmware (narsil or bistro) working properly with the new drivers and he’s reached out to the driver gurus but they seem to be busy/nonresponsive.
lexel, I finally got around to installing your GT driver in the XHP35 MT09R and WOW! It was only “decent” before but now serious. Stock led, smooth ramp 80% NarsilM v1.2. Got a little chirp on contact charge but good now. I took your suggestion and did not bypass the springs. Great driver! Keep up the super work!!
replacing the at 2S unreliable AMC7135s
DD + small FET and resistors instead
MT03/09R XHP70.2
support of permanent switch LED plus MCU indicator with resistors
30mm for Convoy L6/ Thorfire S70S
support of permanent switch LED plus MCU indicator with resistors
20-22mm with 2 FETs and also 6+1 AMC
here with 1S configuration with 6+1 AMC
I had to drill out one via on the spring side partially that secures the switch pad from lifting if soldered too hot
17mm 2S with 2 FETs
17mm LX v1.0 FET+5+1
more filtering caps for very high drain builds
But I don’t want to use 26350-s. How much is the too much current? I don’t really care about runtime. Just max throw in a compact form. Or the current will be too much for the driver?
