I asked this to Simon nearly two weeks ago via message in AliExpress. I told him that, according to datasheet, a B4-40E should be U CRI code or CRI90+, whereas the D2-1A (6500K) should be H CRI code or CRI80+. Simon replied “uh, sorry, the LED I sell is not high CRI LED”. Confusing, I know.
This may be caused by a high internal resistance somewhere, or it may be a driver problem.
So, to amend the mistake, the post title should be changed… or not?
Tldr;
So, is it possible to buy s21a with biscotti?
oweban:So it’s a Biscotti clone, but not Biscotti. And given that information is being withheld, I can’t modify it and flash my own version like I’ve been able to with Biscotti (custom modes etc). Thanks, no thanks. (I’d strongly suggest using another name - even “Biscuit (Biscotti-clone)” or similar. Because it’s not the same firmware.)
This was my mistake. At first, I thought that the driver manufacturer used the biscotti code. Later, I realized that it was the code he wrote himself. I havent given a name to this, so simply call it 12 groups sst40 driver
Simon - no harm intended. No worries. We are all glad you are involved so much with us and listen. We just like to get the specifics.
That's all true - your listings never said Biscotti.
Again, you with the Convoy brand have been a long time major part of BLF - "quality at budget prices", could be your motto and BLF's.

I second that.
Myself I’m not a fan of Convoy lights because they tend to be too bulky for my preferences - but nevertheless there is no brand I respect more than Convoy.
Are the groups the same as biscotti? Noticeable PWM?
hodor, SST-40 drivers are regulated linears. Current is regulated by tuning the MOSFETs' VGS with the onboard sense resistor voltage drop feedback. PWM is thus senseless.
Oh right, wasn’t thinking, thanks.

yes, the driver is in production

it’s non-pwm,friend

I 3rd that
I love convoys whole attitude , Simon your great , and the convoy store I return to often to get drivers and leds for other projects , I have a few c8s and s2 , c8 is good for forests and fishing
S2 with 350 tube is so nice , I’m gonna order some more 350 tubes , and a triple in a 350 size is perfect
Keep up the good work
Simon, will the driver for xhp35 and single cell also be available with Biscotti?

Barkuti:… It is the Biscotti drivers of ∅20 and ∅22 mm which are set for later.
I’m also interested in these… 20 and 22mm, better if they are 6A (or more).
… another name - even “Biscuit (Biscotti-clone)” or similar. Because it’s not the same firmware.
I am still very interested in those “Biscuits”…

In theory, it can be done, but the demand for this driver is very small, and I cannot make a lot of goods.
If you ask me convert all drivers to Biscuits UI.
I need all sizes and XHP35 driver to run GT-FC40
I would love to see a single cell XHP35 driver with 20mm or smaller diameter. 12V boost drivers less than 22mm are difficult to find.
I’ve been waiting for ages for a single cell XHP35 driver (or boost drivers in general) without mode memory.
