2.5A driver for red light (VF 2.0-2.5V) ,input voltage 3-4.2V
Simon Mao:I got the accessory sample for lighted switch ,
But there are two shortcomings, the tail is not waterproof, the flashlight loses its inverted function.Will this work with the Biscotti firmware?
not compatible with 7135 biscotti driver
Thanks. Is there any way I can light up my c8+ with Biscotii?
trakcon: Simon Mao: Chatika vas Paus:Simon, any new info about lh351d 2700k and 3500k both cri90? Can you get them?
Also have you thought about making a 2.5A driver (like for CSLNM1.23) but with 12 groups and/or 4 modes?
This would be a good option for those who don’t want s2+ hotrods with 5A drivers.
I know you have 2.8A drivers with AMCs, but consider this suggestion too.I have ordered LH351D 2700K,but not reach to me ,yet.
2.5A driver with 5 groups for KR CSLNM1.23 is in production , i didnt plan to produce it with 12 groups or 4modes.sorryHi, Simon. When do you think the 5 group CSLNM1.23 driver will be ready? It seems like I have some C8+’s to order.

Hmm…I was hoping it would have 5 modes. Any chance there will be a driver with more mode options for the red?
Just receive mine today, L21A CULPM1…heheh cant wait to test it tonight
1st impression: dont under estimate of what appeared to be the brown cheap convectional box, bcos inside it, is a built-in-quality flashlight…WOW! I love the deep fins, the cut is what really impress me. Looks very complicated head design, make me stare at it for a while…
Compare head to head with FT03, obviously FT03 now look pretty much basics in design compare to L21A where head look really appealing, the glass glare purplish more than FT03, meaning L21A has a good anti-reflective coating. Although the head of L21A weight more than Ft03(balance), its function is more toward efficient thermal dissipation.

What LED in your C8+?

what’s the detail of the 5 modes?
12V 4A driver for L6 is in design ,too
This year will be the first ……warm white christmas….

This IS exactly what I was looking for my modded Infrared Z1!

Osram KW CSLNM1.TG. By light up I mean a way of finding it by night.
ggf31416:… Thermal stepdown is useful for most people, but I see that it may not be desirable for light painters.
I will probably just use it on 20% output most of the time rather than getting another one made with a different driver. However I'll do some tests on how quickly and at what output the temperature controlled brightness balances. …
The temperature protection thing is basically causing trouble without providing any significant benefit. By feeding these drivers with a precision power supply while installed on a pill with an emitter, I have noticed that the thermal stepdown starts right after providing power to the driver, so very quickly (PSU amperimeter reducing value). This is because the onboard NTC starts reducing its value very soon, after all it is in the driver which being linear dissipates any excess power and thus raises its temperature quickly (its expected behaviour). Since the temperature limit is 55ºC, it is pretty normal that current and power starts getting cut down almost inmediately.
In my opinion there is no need for temperature protection. If anything, temperature protection could be set between 100 - 120ºC (212 - 248ºF), to provide some long term protection to the device internals (driver, namely). This is because I don't think the flashlight needs to protect its user. Whoever burns his/her hand using the flashlight should deal with it and learn the lesson. Period.
P.S.: Considering flashlights are powered by li-ion cells 100 - 120°C likely is overboard. Maybe setting it at 85 or 90°C could be nice. Maybe.

More output levels, like 0.1, 1, 10, 35, 100%.
Simon, I have noticed you now offer S2+ with red light. Does it mean that 2.5A red led driver fits inside S2+? Because earlier you said it was not compatible.

True.
That’s why i remove them when possible.
Still looking for the ntc on the xhp35 driver and 4x18A driver though
i get some samples from Getian company.
12V 4A driver for L6 is in design ,too
Very excited for these. Would love to have one in a M3 if they can be run 1S.

I think most people prefer not to burn themselves so 55-60C is probably sensible. A bit of testing last night showed that is seems to stabilise at around 25% after a few minutes on either 35 or 100% mode, so seems to be OK for my night photography use (as by the time I’ve gone back to my camera and focussed, set exposure, the output should be stable).
Simon, I have noticed you now offer S2+ with red light. Does it mean that 2.5A red led driver fits inside S2+? Because earlier you said it was not compatible.
It is marketed for red leds, totally looking like a buck driver. ∅17mm. Two A19T MOSFETs behind, these must be for reverse polarity protection. The sense resistor stage is gross, with 0.1Ω combined, dropping 0.25V at maximum driving current; this is its only fault, reducing efficiency.
There is no reason for it not to work with any other 1S emitter.

More output levels, like 0.1, 1, 10, 35, 100%.
In fact, when switching from 10% to 35, or switching from 35 to 100%, the naked eye does not perceive the change in red light brightness.

it’s suitable ,i add a link
S2+ with red light
Light painting with the Convoy S2+ with CSLNM1.FY Really like this light, and good to see even more colour emitter options now available.
