Is visibly a Buck driver with the inductor and a high input voltage range, what appears to be a 3A schotty diode (34?) and a small, but decent sized inductor for such (budget) drivers.
This one looks to be worth investigating. Would like to know what driver IC they use. (im hoping to integrate some pot feedback loop system)
We DONT know the current output, but were told by KD that its temperature is 50 deg!! (thanks KD!!)
(Oh it says 1A current.. on the second line...) Sigh......
This one is a little trickier... Its a 2A linear driver (based on the input voltage) but im not very familiar with my driver chips.. Have there been many soic 8 packaged linear current regulators used in budget torch drivers? Also the addition of capacitors on the board might suggest a slightly more expensive UI opportunity. Its also a single chip regulator... unless it has to do with the other components
Wonder if anyone else would like to join the speculation party.
I did however just find the Sunwayman V10R Ti for $131.76 from FP, and with a 5% discount, down to 126!! (for those who have the secret non-budget stash)
I have the 5 mode driver - it's looks like the one, which is built in the 5 mode XML drop-in of kaidomain. I thas the standart modes (high, mid, low, strobe, sos) and memory mode (this is a feature which is nice). Often cheap driver haven't this feature.
$131.76 Why would you pay that much when I bought mine from focal for $74. Clearly me and focal haven't begun to lock horns yet as i'm waiting for paypal to resolve the claim on the 25 C3 ultrafires they didn't send .
Call me stupid for buying a ti sunwayman for $74 bucks .. seemed like the right thing to do at the time ..A day later they changed the description and photo .. I'm pretty sure that's fraud ?? or bait and switch ,or lying and cheating and generally being one ****bag vendor .
Oh.. let me make this sweeping statement too .. if you buy from this company .. "you're an idiot "
no need for anyone to take that personally ..if you're having good luck with them ..good for you .never mind all the dead bodies strewn all over their past ,plenty now from BLF since they marketed the stainlessteel C3 to them for cheap and baited and switched light on them.
This driver has a lot of information by KD standards, even has the V and Iout data!!!!!! (OMFG!) but it also demonstrates that the driver is not actually regulated... as far as we like to think of regulated as flat output currents for a given mode.
