Hi, there is any option for use the Luxeon V with the ld-a4 driver in convoy s3 host?
for example the vf of the Luxeon V at 6A is aprox 3,35v so… (4,2-3,35) *6 = 5,1w.
So, its out of the maximun that driver can support (acording to datasheet).
i see the aluminium piece for the s2+ but i don´t like that the s2+ has pill and a very wide retaining ring (that would be problematic with this driver).
So… any options for built a luxeon V flashlight with this driver in safe limits?
Put a cube will be enought?
I think that runing DD will works (not driver heat) but thats probably produce 8-9 amps and thats too much heat for the small host… so its desirable to limit to 6 or lower amps in my opinion.
Very nice to see that I will buy 2 pieces for use with LD-A4 thermal enhancement kit for Convoy S2+ and the Luxeon V.
Do you have any picture?
The rings is equal but less wide?
Yes, thermal kit would be the best, thats for sure. If the thin retaining of kiriba-ru works well i will go for the s2+ with the thermal kit.
BTW thermal adhesive (artic alumina) works for glue the aluminum to pill ? or this change the measures?
ok, thanks for the aclaration.
Look a bit tall, so i don´t know if will work good. In the images looks like at least 2x tall of the regular ring but I may be wrong.
Inner hole is 16mm.
As you can understand there is not enough place to make holes (similar to the stock ring) for unscrewing, so they are changed with milled cuts.
Also, stock ring height is not enough for such cuts, thats why custom rings are taller.
Ring height is 3mm.
Ring OD is less than 18mm. So it can easily enter any 18650 battery tube.
The only issue (contacting cell outer heatshrink/isolator) may be met if you dont use positive (driver) spring.
Hi,
great explanation, i undertand you. So, if i undertand correct there is no problem at all because the driver ring don´t touch with the 18650 tube, so the flahslight screw in normally.
