I have a question- I have the yootoo (amutorch) sd3 small 21700 thrower and I’ve done a couple led swaps and now it’s just not working. I think the driver is shot. I pulled out the driver and now I need to replace it. I want to run either an xhp50.2 (3v) in this or perhaps even a sbt90 later at some point (just for fun). So I am thinking I should get a FET or direct drive driver. It is a mechanical tail switch (not sure if it’s forward or reverse). What would be a driver on simons store that would fit this application? As much as a 6amp or 8amp driver is probably better, I want to be able to have open access to turbo in the even I do put that sbt90 in it some day.

I didn’t measure the diameter but it’s 22mm I think. The mcpcb is 20mm.

Thanks in advance.

8A driver

Here's a fragment of a PM I had with another forum member. Here it is in case someone else can benefit from it:

P.S.: the thermal management stuff also involves most of the newer Convoy drivers, it is linked to the newer 10-pin MCU. If I recall correctly, the negative thermal coefficient (NTC) resistor is connected to pin 8 in the MCU.

The CULPM1 in Convoy store is 8RF, the 5th bin of 7, 1690 lm - 1900 lm in the range 1320 lm - 2120 lm at 6A.
The CSLPM1 is 5P, the 2nd bin of 4, 450 lm - 500 lm in the range 400 lm - 630 lm at 1.4A.

The bins are not directly comparable, but the CULMP1 bin apparently is better than average while the CSLPM1 is just average.

Just added a LH351D in 2700k and 5700k to my collection. (Note: the LH351D were on 10, XM-L2 8x7135 on 35, and 219C/SST-20 4x7135 on 100%)
Left to Right - Cree XM-L2 6500k, Cree XM-L2 4500k, Cree XM-L2 3000k, Samsung LH351D 5700k, Samsung LH351D 2700k, Nichia 219C 5700k, Luminus SST-20 2700k.

Simon just added 8*7135 12-groups driver with temperature control and 20mm XHP50.2 3A driver to the store.

4424

It’d be better if it was a 3A version of the 5A 12 group driver. Constant current, and single sided.

This one looks like a slight modification to the old 7135 driver. Same doubled sided issues with the S2+.

Does anyone else hate soldering drivers to pills? It’s a mess and it’s hard to reverse later for swapping parts around.

4425

This is a big step. Kudos for Simon for implementing it. With the 10 times tap I keep entering the config mode unintentionally which is very frustrating. With this driver that won’t happen anymore.

@Simon, when will the 5A 12 group driver receive this update?

4426

It’s already here. 17mm, 20mm, 22mm, boost 20mm, boost 22mm and 8A already have 20 clicks. I just don’t know if the boost for xhp70 is with the new soft.

4427

I trimmed retaining rings to fit. This is also tedious, but I didn’t even want to go down the road of heat up the entire pill.

I thought I only had to do this because I used QLite drivers. Does the Convoy 8 x 7135 driver interfere with the retaining ring, too?

4428

Is there any way to disable mode memory on T2 (latest version)?

4429

The convoy 7135x8 is pretty much the exact same driver with different software and it’s red instead of green.

4430

Probably not. I wish it had a programmable driver. At least memory on/off.

It’s possible. Reylight has a AA/14500 driver with programmable modes and memory on/off.

4431

The 5A 12 group driver has been updated several months ago.

4432

AA/14500 driver can use 12 groups program, but the cost will increase greatly. Because T2 did not sell much before, I did not consider producing this driver.

4433

The T2 takes a 17mm driver, so you can replace it worst case.

4434

My bad. The ui chart still mentions 10 clicks so I was confused.

Anyway, a big step. My S2+ with the 5A driver, E21A 4000K D220 quad led, 60dg tir and removed glass i currently my most used flashlight.

4435

There seems to be some margin for error with the new drivers (like there was with the old drivers…)

I have 3 of the new 17mm 5A 12 group drivers. One of them acts strange. When programming the light the LED remains on but dim in between programming blinks, and seems to have a much higher lowest mode than the other two.

The other two drivers work as expected, the LED is off between programming blinks and the lowest mode is pretty low.

I ordered a few more to mess around with. I’ve used two of them to make S2+ triples.

4436

Some 14500 cells (such as Shockli 1000mAh) don’t fit in the T2.

I’m OK with it at this price point :+1: .

Has the latest version been more successful? Would be nice to get it in the new S21A colours (specifically the green and orange) :innocent: .
