I just received my AceBeam X50 (wow, I like this light!) and I’m trying to figure out what I’m looking at with regards to the driver.
Anyone with an idea what’s going on with this driver? There are no ICs on the reverse side. And I noticed AceBeam sanded two of the components to remove the part numbers.
Looks like a boost driver or buck driver to me with that big inductor. The P/N’s are often removed form components to prevent piracy or their competitors from stealing their designs or divulging their suppliers. Either way, you’re driving 6 volt LEDs at high current.
