What I mean is I want to precisely select maximum mode current. It seems it comes defined with a maximum of 8A, this can be nice for some emitters but let's say I want to drive an 1mm² CSLNM1.TG at ≈4.5 - 5A absolute maximum, nothing more.
Anyone tried these yet? The interface description somewhat leaves to be desired. I mean:
Half press 2 times for mid 1.5A mode? This is because of on-time memory, doesn't it? I mean, if I switch on it goes into high mode, then if I wait the on-time lapse (maybe 2 seconds?) or more I need to press twice to change to mid 1.5A. But if switch on and then press again quick enough it goes into mid, isn't it?
From mid 1.5A mode what if I press again once or twice to change to next mode? Is there a low mode or does it goes into high again?
What does reset means? What does it?
Is it possible to set mode currents like in the LD-25?
sorry ,it can not be set.
btw,i got 2pcs CSLNM1.TG samples today,i’m ready to install it in L2 ,maybe in L2 21700 version.
what’s the max current?
in offical datasheet, it’s 3A,
is it dagerous if i use 5A current?
if you want to enter into the 2nd mode,
first,turn the flashlight on ,second,double half-press the button.no need to wait .
if the current mode is 2nd ,
half-press one time ,it returns to the 1st mode,
half-press 3times, it enters into 3nd mode
if you have set the brightness of 1st mode or 2nd mode ,but you are not satisfied ,and you want to return it to original state.then you can half-press the button 8times to reset.
So, what you are telling me is the driver has only two normal modes: high (stock 8A) and low (stock 1.5A), and both can be set via ramping by tapping 5 times when using the mode. Thus, if I am on high or low and tap 5 times, I enter a 3 loop ramping where I can set brightness or the amount of mode current: whenever I tap when ramping the current is set at that level. An 8-tap sequence resets current for all modes.
Is this what you mean, Simon?
Hope the ramping is very slow or it will be hard to properly set the current.
That’s what I dislike about this driver: with ramping you can’t define a constant current, but a percentage of the max current. It means that the current/light output will decrease when the cell voltage is decreasing. Or is the 1.5A mode a constant current mode?
