Please explain the switch part ;). I don’t want to needlessy spend money on this if you are already developing a more suitable solution compared to what I have in mind.
I just want a FET-clicky switch with a coin cell battery or a capacitor.
I do not care about the weight. My point is that copper can be soldered. Then the led board does not move and it’s perfectly centered. And that’s always very important for me when I make multi-led.
I would think the switch could be a simple momentary FET Driver with only one mode to place in every Flashlight instead of the clicky-board.
Perhaps it has LEDs for iluminated tailcap and a bleeder resistor on the main Driver is needed. And this switch can be used as upgrade in each clicky Flashlight.
Perhaps short klick for mode Change, as reverse clickies behaves and Long click for power off.
1.mosX board are aluminum with ceramic insulation, so you can't solder them.
2.Soldering copper MCPCB on such big spacer would be very difficult and there would be great risk of frying/damaging LEDs from excessive heat.
3.It's not good if pcb doesn't move in this case, all parts have their tolerances, so it's better if pcb can move a little bit, optics have 3-4 legs, so centering is always perfect. For example ANNA optics fits very tightly into C8, if you solder hypothetical copper pcb on copper spacer and make just 0.5mm error, optics wouldn't fit into head.
Can you check if the height is right? If so, I’m willing to mod the spacer to fit if it’s only the width. If it’s both width and height then it’s better for me to make my own spacer again.
You’re right, that would be easier, lol. I believe they both use the same sized reflector. I also noticed on led4power.com that a future listing for 30amp switch is up already.
Can I use your LD4A driver for a triple/quadruple UV light with the Seoul Viosys Z5 365nm or on a single LED light with Seoul Viosys CA6868 (4 dies in parallel @ 3.7V looking like a 7070 XHP footprint)?
These LEDs has a quite high Vf of 3.7V and I plan to drive the LEDs to its limits/highest mode only. If not, can you recommend something more appropriate for UV LEDs?
