LED drivers and Accessories you want, but don’t exist

hello
where i can buy 12v booster driver to install xhp35 in my convoy s2+ ?

@Carrygun, you can’t for now. You will have to wait until 17mm boost converters are available.

it is possible to install xhp35 in s2+ in any way ? may be 20mm it is possible to “fit” ?

Why do you want to install an XHP35 inside of an S2 anyway?

just for fun
i love flashlights and convoy s2+

With the current MLCC shortage, I can’t get the capacitors that I want for the boost driver, they’re all sold out. I will order from mouser soon though, and get the best capacitors they currently have.

I think a user (Jensen) here managed to get either the H1-A or H2-C driver from into an s2+ by somehow mounting it behind/under the pill and, perhaps, grinding down the PCB to get it to fit.

H1-A is, I think, 20mm and boosts to 6v. H2-C is 22mm and boosts to 12v. I think, but I’m not sure, that the H1-A can be modded to higher compliance voltages.

I think I remember something like that, but all I could come up with a quick search was him building an S2+ into a MT-G2 with a H1-A. But yeah, he mounted the driver behind the pill instead of in it:

“BOOSTING” this thread to the top again in hopes of some life.

Remember that time we had 3-4 different people concurrently working on boost drivers then nothing panned out from any of them?

Good times :sunglasses:

LOL, both of the boost drivers are still in the works, just on hold at the moment. Schoki is waiting for some components to get in stock at Muser last I heard and LoneOceans just got busy with life but still plans to do more work on it when he gets more time.

I still have a box for of components for prototyping whenever another prototype design is ready.

I think Lexel and Richard (MtnE) also had something in the works. Ah well whats another 6 months at this point

Lexel was using Schoki’s design.

Interesting, I was not aware Richard was working on another boost driver.

Very interesting, looks to be based on the same basic setup as the other drivers but impossible to say without seeing the other side.

I am guessing he ran into similar issues to the rest of us or it would be released already. It is proving very hard to get a stable driver in this form factor that can provide enough power for us.

Even 20W 17mm boost driver would be great for us, so we can finally get our Convoy Nichia 144AM S2 ready.

Honestly im just as interested in 20-22mm as 17mm and everyone seems to be going to larger drivers in lights that can take the heat anyways

20mm would be much easier to do, as there already exists a good 20mm driver from Kaidomain.

+1.

I need a driver for my 30+ v Soraa 95cri emitters.

30+V. Damn.
