Interested in a 22mm ldo bistro or possibly bistro hd to replace the LD-29 in my Convoy L5. Single tube with 2x 26350 or double tube with 2x 26650 lii cells powering a xhp50.2 would probably be a good combination for this light. I like the light itself but the driver… not so much.
I got some Be-Cu springs as well, dont need to be cut and bend, they simply fit
but as you solder the positive wire to the top of the spring there is no need for low resistance spring, you can use thin steel springs
The Be-Cu springs are not nearly as flexible as steel springs, first time compressed they get shorter
Correct, the pass-through in the TA drivers means that spring resistance is a non-issue. All that matters is that the spring holds the battery in place and keeps it from hitting the 7135’s.
The potential problem is the length of the springs in the op. I’d have to measure but the original spring on the L5’s driver looks like 6 or 7 mm uncompressed.
NarsilM got released, it is a bit different with temp. calibration in User settings
The only improvement I see in LVP for 2S lights, but it lost some setings to get the UI Settings easier
Ok we met the minimum number of driver to start ordering parts and boards
I will order from digikey this time later when the first Oshpark boards arrive, so the number of drivers is not limited by an early order from digikey parts
Priced for Bistro HD OTSM and NarsilM updated
Option for customized modespacing/modegroups added or you give mne a customized HEX file
For the lights 60-70°C for single LED should be OK
for Triples in small hosts it should be less as the head can get hot fast while the LED driver is relatively cold
Lights like the L6 with tailswitch can be set up to go in turbo when battery power is applied, or 2 low blinks or nothing at all
It might be also possible over the advanced setting interface to get the light come up at last memorized level
