Not seen that one, but it looks pretty similar to the V6CS that i just grabbed with the SCH86 head basically a small version of the one above the stock driver also puts down nearer to 3.5A which is nice
I have this one in C8+.
If you shine it on the wall you notice that led is rectangle and not square but I also have the one you mentioned just didn’t put it in the host.
In a flashlight build almost certainly yes. Led4power found a maximum at 6A but it was a bare led with maximum active cooling. My bare led test did not even find 6A max but 5A.
So my best advice would be 4.5A, in a very well cooled build maybe 5.
I’ve found no detectable gains after 4.5amp for either CSLNM1.TG or CULNM1.TG in a flashlight, neither turn angry blue nor do they get any visibly brighter to the eye either IMO you’re just wasting amps after that point
There maybe a VERY TINY increase between 4.5 & 5 in a chunky host like the L2 with a CULNM1 but im not sure if it is just wishful thinking on my part
A lux meter may say different but you certainly won’t see it with your eyes
Edit: Having now taken some lux readings it appears i was incorrect while CSLNM1.TG does not really gain beyond 4.5-5A CULNM1.TG definitely gains up to 6A
Thank you, need to go with a battery that can add more resistence I think. I’ve extended the wires considerably and went with a longer spring and it dropped some but not by much.
Is it common to go with a 22-24 guage wire from driver to mcpcb to get more resistence?
You could add an actual resistor in the circuit. I never used them yet but I bought some 2512 resistors for that purpose that can be glued somewhere inside the driver cavity with arctic alumina adhesive. Link.
We really need to find better names for this leds, when you say XPL HI 4B you know exactly which led is that but CSLNM1 and CULNM1! are we talking about whit leds, green!!!
CULNM1.TG is a higher power version of CSLNM1.TG (3.2A vs 3A) its still 1mm2 but they are now discontinued and getting tricky to find. I’ve also not been able to find them in the higher bins only 5q which im not convinced is better than a 6n CSLNM1.TG.
CSLNM1.TG 6N at 3a makes 840 - 945Lumens
CULNM1.TG 5Q at 3a makes 710 - 800Lumens
But CULNM1.TG can stand higher currents when overrun , there are detailed tests on the start of this thread.
I’d really like to get my hands on some CSLNM1.TG 7N’s or CULNM1 6QF’s if anyone knows a guy please drop me a message
