I doubt Richard would be willing to custom make I driver just for this model flashlight. You would more than likely need to choose a driver that he already makes. It’s also possible that Lexel has a driver that might work. It seems unlikely it would still be able to operate on two different voltages, though. You probably need to choose either 3 Volt or 6 volt and then whatever diameter driver will fit.
Why would you think there is any relation? Haikelite tends to make their own user interfaces unless they specifically say they are running such and such UI version xx.
Told Richard I would be willing to sacrafise one. I would prefer it work with 2 cells. He did have one that may work but wasn’t sure how lo g it would last. It was because the LED’s were in a series I believe.
When it first comes on with one cell, they all light up. The power switch is blue. Within 10 seconds it begins blinking red, the LED’s flash 3 or 4 times and shuts down completely. The light will not work at all with 2 cells. Nothing.
That means either the MCPCBs are wired incorrectly, which should not be too hard to fix. The driver would see that with one cell, the LEDs can still be lit up without any problem.
With 2 cells, the driver sees that there is a case of overvoltage, and shuts down quickly.
So doable to fix for anyone with a soldering iron.
Or the driver is faulty, which would take a lot more time.
Mine did all these things as well and didn’t work on 2 cells either. I seen the flashes and off as well as the red on the switch. If you’ve already cleaned contacts try going into other mode. Also try other batteries. I tried all different things till I got it working.
It seemed like it was in a programming mode or something.
I did get it to work with one cell for a short period of time maybe 2 times. As soon as I broke the contact/voltage ist started the same thing over. Worked once out of a weeks worth of messing with it. I did try different batteries. Got it to work once with the tail spring removed and magnet stuck to the negative side of the battery.
I have 10 or so Haikelites. This one is cheaply made, quite the dissapointment. Of all the others I have this one doesn’t even look like their work. The Q30 is the same way. Appearance is just different, just seems as though they put their name on someone else’s light. At least Banggood refunded my money. Maybe I can at least get it to work in the future.
