You can keep it below 10W for regulated modes and higher than that just PWM the FET. Overall it should be slightly more efficient than 7135s at low-medium modes. Also, some like the fact that there’s a broad range of modes (going down to quite low) that are PWM-free.
I thought this could make it interesting for some users….though actually I didn’t say that I want to buy it, so the number of requests is 0 so far.
I’m in the waiting mode. I’m wating for upocoming hosts and for a LED seller to get a new batch. After that I may (or may not) wait a little longer for GXB17, depending on what comes around. I’m not looking to buy TC (though it may change), but I thought others could. In general more niches covered = more buyers
Lexel, so far I have one of the 17’s from batch 3 installed. Love it!!!
I want a couple more… a 30mm, maybe 2 and maybe something else to be determined. I hope it is okay to get back to you exactly what by next week as I am traveling / busy. If that does notwork, I understand.
Lexel, I would like to get 2 - 30mm; single cell, 2.8 LVP, Narsil, standard temperature control, PowerOn=No (you need to press e-switch to turn light on after turning on the talcap switch). I’m not sure about spring length so I would like short and long for each and will install whatever works best.
Question for you… With your drivers will it work to copy the firmware, save it and then burn it to another driver? I am wishing I had ordered one of the previous 17mm Narsil with PO=No instead of Low. One way to fix that would be to copy the firmware from one of these new 30mm. I have the required hardware items as well as Atmel Studio and AVR Tools, but I have not yet used it yet so all I know is a little theory.
I have not been able to find anything referring to PD on the NarsilM drivers. I would like to use the 38.5mm in a D01 with a tail power switch and side e-switch. I want the unit to turn on in low mode when the power button on the tail is pressed. I do not need or want an off mode on the e-switch.
I think I will also want one set up the same way for my S70, need to research the driver size before I order.
you would loose the temperature calibration
I wrote on many driver labels the value that shows the temp offset like –12 or +3
with the new NarsilM you can copy the firmware and do the temp set over the UI, while the temp blinks wont be accurate as its not matching the offset
the temp calibration and preset of the temp protection on NarsilM is optional, while it was needed on v1.4
Thank you. I think I may give NarsilM a try if I decide the one light really would be better if the tailcap switch did not turn the light on when clicked to power up. In the meantime I should also get things together and try reprogramming one of the ATtiny13 MCU’s I have sitting around; practice on something that does not matter so much.
I am interested in 2 drivers. Both 21mm NarsilM and 2 springs included in the envelope. I should order the larger spring? For Skilhunt h02 headlamp. Shipped to USA.
I would like to try them just as they are described in the google reference:
No thermal step-down, I want to give the timed step-down a try.
