Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate and respect your experience. Im not a hard user, seldom do my lights get hot. I have had a V11r in my pocket for the past week, it is lubricated with 767a and Ive had no leaks nor stains, and no indication that the lube is melting into my pocket.
Im glad moderator007 chimed in, you can see that there is the potential to add teflon to any lube, to make it better.
I chose 767a based on how popular it is with posters I have read, and I wanted to try it for myself. So far, Im very happy with it. Im sure there are many other options that can work.
btw, thanks for suggesting the Eye15 driver, I contacted Fanny and she sent me this photo
Im planning to order a couple of those drivers, to learn how they act at low voltage, so far I have only tested 4 other drivers, original 2019 RRT-01, Eye10, Original RRT-01, and TCR-1.
The first 2 have strobe, which I like, the last 2 do not have strobe, but the drivers are all the same size and I have swapped a 2019 RRT-01 driver into an Original RRT-01 without issue.
I will report back on my low voltage test of the Eye15 driver.
Thanks for sharing info

I do not believe the Jetbeam and NiteEye drivers are compatible with Sunwayman, but I tested the low voltage behavior of the stock driver on a V11r, that I modded to use a 3500k E21a.
My V11r, blinks at 2.38v
it does not blink at 2.89v, gives 110 lumens
at 3.5v it gives 175 lumens…
at 4.08 v gives 225 lumens (thats the max, using the 3500k E21a)
these magnetic rotaries are not flat regulated, lumens fall as voltage drops… I find that convenient, it gives me visual indications of a draining battery, and I can test my light on a lightmeter to get an idea of battery charge, even before opening the light and testing with a DMM.
I do wish there was a true LVP shutoff at 3v in these lights, so will be looking forward to testing the Eye15 driver to confirm if it shuts off, as id30209 is informing us.
