Essentially simple when you’re not using the kitchen sink stuff…
This one was in the BTU Shocker with triple XP-L emitters in parallel, hence the triple 18ga wires at each LED terminal. I replaced it with a Zener modified version to run 9V MT-G2 emitters.
Those extra pads are the kitchen sink spoken of earlier. For thermal and such. I don’t really understand that aspect of it, but as a normal driver it works just fine. Maybe I’ll figure out just what the kitchen sink has to do with lighting and implement some good “clean” fun.
Does this look right? I can’t get it to work properly, no matter what firmware I use it gets stuck on turbo. I’ve used a zener and replaced the diode with a 200ohm resistor.
I’m using it for a MT-G2 build.
wow. That’s very strange. My gut tells me it has to be something with the firmware, but you’ve already tried different ones so I’m stumped. Hopefully somebody else can chime in.
Yes - think that was the original one on the parts list? Anyway it would work fine, accept not the best for high amps with triple LED's in parallel for example. I use the SIR800DP pretty much all the time now though. Probably no noticeable difference for single LED applications.
