"YUPARD" 3 x XM-L ~~~ 4 x 18650 spotlight. ~~~ $35 (now $33.25) ~~~ Today Only! $29.75

I can’t help you with measurements as I have just ordered this light today.
That driver picture is from my ULTRAFIRE JS-8054 ~ 1 x XML light. It came with seven chips. It is the same light as the NAGE 1 x XML which I also have. I believe when I crack open the NAGE, it will have fewer chips than the Ultrafire.

So same driver, different number of chips? And forgive me, what is a NAGE?

This is the site picture of the light in thE OP.

This is a picture of the driver that came with my two NAGES and my Ultrafire JS-8054.

I’m betting they are the same driver. That’s the only the reason I ordered it. My favorite 4 x 18650 parallel driver.

Ahh, yes - I see the tracings are identical, besides the color, holes, etc., so good bet it is. Could be a different progam in the driver though, so maybe the modes are really different - maybe 2 listed, maybe 200 - I wouldn't count on much from the specs this seller lists. Besided the usual Chinese lumens stuff, the input voltage is not for parallel cells, but we know they are parallel from the pics.

So, mode selection is only during the power-on sequence, and it's a one click OFF?

That’s right, one click on, half press to change modes, one click off. . Pretty straight forward. My single emitter Ultrafire/Nage models have five modes.
High-Medium-Low-Strobe-SOS. After ten seconds off it will always come back on in high.
My Nage triple came with 12 AMC7135 chips,(4 per emitter). I gave it 9 per emitter, for a total of 27.
My other three run off a rear clicky switch, so I really want to see where they wired in the side click. I may want to add another switch in the future to my others.

What is the diameter of the driver?

I think its 46mm.

The price has gone down to $33.25 for one day, so I ordered another one. I’m thinking of ordering the 5 x XML model also (solarstorm clone), but it has a different driver.

Ordered one - I'm good at adding and stacking 7135's . Thanx Ouchy!

You’ll Love that driver Tom. It’s a “chippers” dream.

Sorry for the possibly silly question… so is this basically a SRK, with a handle, and a much more moddable driver?

@ Ouchy,

That 8-legged chip to the left of the 7135s, that’s the chip that has the programming functions in it, correct? It looks identical to the ones on the 105C’s. Hypothetically, if this light does have a high-med only group…could one buy a 105C, unsolder the control chip from that, and install it onto this driver?

Of course one could theoretically just reprogram the chip but I take it that one of those inductive readers/writers is expensive?

As far as hi-med goes. I hope that’s how it is. That’s perfect for me. I rarely use anything else.
I don’t know if you could do a straight swap of the leggy-thingy, I haven’t got that far yet in my learning. It’s probably hard to do without a hot air reflow station.

Talk to Comfychair. I think he told me you can piggyback a 105C and use it to control the modes.
I’d like to know how to do that also. I need good pictorials to truly understand how these things integrate.

Well, my plan would be XM-L2's on copper, heavy wires, and up the amps a plenty with 7135's. It's 4 cells in parallel, so I'm not sure what you can really draw from them. If Ouchy was getting 3.45A to each emitter, that means you are drawing maybe 3A per cell, which is 12A total, maybe more because of loss's. I'm not sure how that's possible in a parallel cell setup, but I've never been in that territory before with parallel cells. I know I'm having troubles getting 4.5A from 3 cells in parallel in a Crelant 7G9, but it's a different animal (Nanjg driver, maybe problems with the host/ground return, etc.). I don't see any easy solution to controlling modes though - I'm just planning on living with it and boosting output, and having a nice carry version of a over-driven SRK.

Scot - thats' exactly as see it, yes. Plus it's a good price.

It’s just another variant of the new wave of 4P 18650 soupcan light. The SRK has never held any appeal for me personally. This light looks to have better thermal management capabilities than an SRK.
…but, I haven’t received mine yet and torn it down.

My Nage triple gave me 3.45 emitter amps. from each of the three 9 chip banks.
My final tail reading with all three emitters on high is 8.55A. I hope the switch holds out OK.
I wonder if you could do a Zener diode mod with this driver?

This looks awesome; it might have to be my first triple emitter.

I’m wondering if the deep polished bezel ring might leave an outer halo

Great, this might be just the light I’m looking for. Thanks for the info, guys.

The 8.55A tail /3 is 2.85A per LED, but, maybe it's drawing 4.2v or so, but providing 3.5v or so per LED, that's why the actual LED amps is higher at 3.45A?

9 chips per LED, if they are 380's, is 3.42A at best, for 350's, it's 3.15A per LED. Usually 380's read low and 350's read high. Of course there are loss's along the way.
