Hello, Im hoping someone could help me find an off the shelf, cheap driver to replace the busted circuits in 2 spotlights i have.
I was given these 2 lights, they were supposed to be motorbike spot lights but they have a 4 mode driver in them. Hi/Lo/Strobe/SOS.
Makes them useless and dangerous to be used for a motorbike.
The person who gave them to me tried to mod one by removing the “U2” chip. Bad Move. He bricked it. Has torn off the pads and i wont try to repair it.
The second one, Well, I had a go at it. I played with it till i found a capacitor that when bridged prevented the next mode function.
I thought i had succeeded, that was until i realised that my battery pack had dropped a cell and the rest of the cells were under charged.
So i got a fresh fully charged pack and hooked it up.
It was fantastic, much better than anticipated.
Then i saw the smoke, not from the light but from my temporary wiring.
I disconnected everything but it was to late, when i hooked it back up to check i got next to nothing, the LEDs were illuminating but not enough to throw a beam.
So I’m after something that will drive 6 XML fakes (i think latticebright) at 3.3v between 15-18a from a 9-24v supply.
The closest i could find on the light is an ebay ad for a Vastfire XS-D006
Though mine don’t have the logo on them.
With all the searching I’ve done on these i noticed that the vastfire 6 led lights seem to be the only ones that have the leds in the same orientation.
The best i can tell these are all run in parallel.
Here are some photos on the innards.
I have seen a few examples of lights using boards with serial numbers starting with HND, the emitter pcb has HND-XGP-6 and the driver pcb has HND-F401D-V1.
But I can not find any examples of these boards or they manufacturer.
Any help with a Single Mode driver would be great.
Thanks, Roy.
