You got me bro.. Where do we send the cash? Seriously I am interested if you start selling them.
The program ability of an AA driver is a milestone in my book. Looks to me like based on the results in your graph we might expect 450+ma from a single NIMH AA.. I think my tank 007 about 700ma on one.
Thanks a million for sharing. You just poured buckets into my barrel of hope!
Anyone remember the old programmable k106 akoray from kaidomain? Those were three mode programmable lights. Buck/boost? running either AA or 14500. This project kind of reminds me of those lights. Too bad the the drivers went bad on the ones I had.
My little input: I support the idea of not asking all tools to do the exact same function, if an AA BLF light has to be made I would find appropriate to make something a bit different that would stand out. We can already buy at quite good prices premium quality AA lights that do huge lumen numbers on AA and 14500, what about considering a different single AA host architecture than the usual tube?
Or this:
I have the CR123a powered Z1, and its main fault is driver inefficiency in high mode.
This doesn’t come with a head band, but the clip can be used to shine it forward from a pocket or belt.
Not yet. As I understand it, it’s a new design created entirely for that X6v2/X5 group buy and it supposed to go away afterwards, at least as far as blf is concerned. But if the X5 proves popular I wouldn’t be surprised to see it live on after the buy, although probably with cheapened guts.
