I installed my sft70 LED in the s21b xhp50.2 light and it worked fine on mode 1-3, turned blue on mode 4 (100% output).
I then installed the SFT70 into my m21e and it worked up until about 75% ramp, then turned blue and the light started smoking. I thought i blue the sft70..
But now my m21e wont turn on with the xhp70 in it either. I put that back in and it wont work.
Can i buy just the driver for the m21e from you?
does anyone know what i did to my driver? i wouldve thought that just the led would burn out if anything, and i was completely OK with doing that for the sake of expirementing.. I didnt think it would ruin the driver..
I got my AA/14500 13 group drivers, I also got an orange T3 with an SW35. The stainless screw on clip is way better than the stock clip.
The wires on the 14500 driver are backwards. The red is negative and the black is positive. All three were this way.
Unfortunately I broke one of the drivers tightening the retaining ring in my Jaxman E3. The pliers slipped and broke some stuff off the back of the board. Double sided drivers may be unavoidable, but they are annoying.
I also put one into a Thorfire TG06, It works perfectly in that light as well. It’s also sold as the Alonefire X380. Same host with slightly different reflector.
I see that S12 UV’s product listing now says 2.4A maximum where it used to say 6A before, if I remember correctly. Does it come with a different driver now?
1. It will be available in one week. But the Tc is 5700k instead of 6500k
2. uh ,no plan ,how about M21E? i will add a link of M21E with SFT40 / KW CULPM1.TG in two days
3. It is only suitable for L21B
In fact, the drivers are the same, but this driver was originally designed for SST40 and not for UV LEDs. Because the vf value of uv led is relatively high, the current of the flashlight will be relatively small.
Thanks a lot for your help! Unfortunately the M21E is too big/wide for what I have in mind. The M21B is just perfect other than the lack of onboard USB-C charging.
Maybe others in this thread could chime in if they have an interest in additional USB-C charging lights? I do understand it’s never a simple process to redesign things, but perhaps if there’s a significant community interest and demand, we could see new lights with USB-C charging later down the road?
