Any updates on your driver, Lexel?
I put one together, albeit much more rudimentary than yours. 5x CN5710 (dual channel: 1+4) for 5 amps linear. Working good so far. Without any reflector height tuning, got 958 lumens & 273k lux with a Flat White 1mm² (vs 1540 lm & 127k lux stock driver with XP-L HI)

I need to do more testing before I’d consider selling them. I sometimes ship internationally. But international package shipping from the US is quite expensive too, ~ USD $13.54 just for shipping.

13usd is fine as long as it works
while the driver is being discussed, how does my recent purchase compare performance wise to what’s being tossed about here…?

About the same.
Thanks BlueSword… I hate to miss out on something… This thing is pretty dam impressive for such a small light… !

What does 8 amp pulsed mean. Even if I use an ncr18650b or equivalent cell it’s still not safe for the osram 1mm??

I can sell a few prototypes
Price as usual is 12€
Anduril or NarsilM as firmware
shipping is 1.4$ from here untracked
5$ tracked with 25€ loss insurance
v2.0 I made some minor improvements from the original prototype
any recommondation what to change?
This allows the D1 to run the black flat LED, as proposed in this canceled project …correct?
IS this a difficult LED to pop in to the D1?
I am running a 300kcd GT mini right now………but…….

you can buy already soldered White flats from L4P website on proper 3030 DTP MCPCBs
Black flat need still insulation from MCPCB tobody

What’s the “L4P website” when it’s at home? Google seems ignorant of it.

But D1 reflector is not prfect enough for white flats. You gain only 10-15kcd. And loose 4-600 lumens. You can’t set the focus right. I tried it and putted back the XP-L HI.
so basically my black flat modded GT mini is the top gun right now?
I get a kick out of how much throw this little guy packs

Yes. I got 58 kcd if I remember correct in my D1. Now I have an Astrolux FT03 with WF1 and it made 452 kcd.

source on that FT03?
I made it. Modded the driver. Used an MF02 MCPCB which was perfect fit.
