Yes, 2.3A out. The UI is Guppydrv3.0, quite a lot of options.
It can work with one or 2 cells, is more efficient and cooler running with 2 cells as it isn’t boosting as hard. I’m really enjoying the C8+ a lot, the L2 as well but use the C8+ more it seems. (size factor I’m sure)
I have the C8+ set for 5 levels, with a short 20ga loop between the MCPCB and driver lead at the emitter I see…
I want to give my thanks to Richard at MtnElectronics for installing a Nichia R9080 onto a custom board for the Relio light.
He has helped make an awesome light even awesomer!
I managed to resolve the flickering problem on my XHP70 zoom flashlight mentioned earlier.
I just removed a 26mm MTN driver from another flashlight and swapped the MCUs. The light shines nice and steadily now. Some weird behavior is left, though, as with Crescendo at turn on it stays at a low mode first and after two or three seconds ramps up very fast to maximum brightness. The ramping on the other driver worked much more smoothly. But I’m happy with a non-flickering flashlight and don’t mind as much about a not linear ramping.
I guess it has been stated before that Richard was hands full with different projects. But…looking currently at the driver’s section of MTN, many (almost all!) FET DD drivers (and not only these) are out-of-stock.
Does anyone know if or when they will be restocked?
Yes, nearly all of his popular drivers are out of stock.
I suspect it is due to the confluence of the orders mentioned, as well as the summer break, and IIRC a recent baby as well.
I hope he restocks soon, as many of these drivers are virtually impossible to source elsewhere. Richard is an invaluable community resource. However, I do not wish to pressure him in any way to speed things up, because I understand how life goes. I just set some e-mail “back-in-stock” notifiers and continue on - the lights I’m working on/planning currently are for Christmas gifts anyway
I concur! No need to rush, just was wondering about the “sold-out” in some many pieces!
Maybe he’s working on a “autumn-winter” collection to heat us up :smiling_imp:
Ehehe!
It’s been awhile since i been on the forum but I placed a order 1-2 weeks ago for a led and has not shipped yet ? Does it normally take this long from RMM
I would say that's not normal, specially if you ordered something listed as in stock? He lists availability and qty. I would say 1-3 days is normal, unless he posts he's on vacation or something. I would try reaching out to him. He's really not on BLF anymore.
