I ordered from chinavally and it was shipped by Amazon. Trouble is, there are about 70 Amazon fulfillment centers across the word. Apparently, some will ship the Securityling, others a Skyray. Mine came in a pouch, not a box. There was a label on it that said “Securityling” but inside was a Skyray. This is a fault of Amazon, not chinavally.
I am really, really pissed. More so every time I see someone else flaunt off how good his is or has become.
Amazon.com - I see some feedback there where Amazon has resolved problems, I don’t know whether you get more protection ordering direct from Amazon or thru ebay. You need to convince the seller that they should be putting a foot in Amazon’s ass to fix this, it’s bad for you but worse for them if it keeps happening.
That securitying driver reminds me of something awful familiar. It looks like a giant East-092 driver. Has that similar 2 pin big regulator and smaller 8 pin computing IC. Plus 2 or 3 resistors and what looks like a zener type diode at C2.
I've thought about that too, specifically how the bad versions of the East-092 manage to be such crap even with a good FET swapped in. One day I'll get back to figuring out how to make those work like they should...
p.s. Holy crap dude, no reason to include all 37 pictures in the quote! lol xD
I wanted to make your thread look very long and important.
Sorry, I didn’t want people to think I was referring to the black srk driver that was also posted. But it does look like the exact same components as the East-092. And I think the lame east-092 accidentaly had a different 2 pin regulator transistor.
Ordered one through chinavally, delivered by Amazon’s epathdirect, but got a Skyray King - no XM-L2’s.
Now Amazon is sending me e-mails, offering me the Securitylng!

4 versions and 4 prices.
Checking each listing separately, it seems from the description or the pictures that the first is a 4 emitter XM-L
the second is a 3 emitter XM-L2
the third is a 3 emitter Skyray King with XM-L, but the box in the background is for a Securitylng. (this is the one I got)
There is not any discrimination between XM-L and XM-L2, nor between Securitylng and Skyray
Bought under this item#? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161124048043
Is the seller not willing to yell at Amazon for you? Is there any way to go directly to Amazon, or does having ebay as (another) middleman rule that out?
Mine shipped from 172 Trade St. Lexington KY same as yours, but I got the same light & box as O-L.
I feel bad that dchomak didn't get the light he wanted . Especially since this light after a resistance mod is so badass . Now I feel pretty lucky that I got a good version . If I knew I would get another one like my example , I would order a couple more .
Yes that is the site. Based on the fact that yours came from the same warehouse, I ordered another. This time I will video record the “unboxing”
My first one did not come in a retail box, but rather a bag with a tag.
They have not sold very many according to this buying history.
Direct drive, through whatever limitation of the other components. Not the same as the battery wired straight to the LED, the components can have a pretty big impact on how close or far it actually is from the numbers it would do if wired direct. Modes still work, high is just the MCU commanding 100% full on, and the other modes are based on a percentage of that, by PWM/duty cycle switching. The average of the on time/off time gives the reduced current/output.
The 3-mode 'Securitying' (SecurityLng? silly ambiguous fonts...) driver isn't perfect by any means but it's better than the standard high-low SRK driver. The PWM on lower modes is still there, but it appears to be about half as severe. The low isn't very low. And it really needs some hot rod cells for there to be a reasonable spread between high and mid, otherwise mid runs at the current the driver calls for but high falls a bit short, and that causes it to look like the mid mode is too high.
I don't know what this thing is pulling on high mode, it's more than my meters are happy with. And that's something I've not run into before.
I'm using Samsung 20Rs. What I mean is, with plain Samsung 28As, even charged to the full 4.3v, it still does the same 1.5A on low and 6A on medium, but high is only 10A while with the 20Rs it's some large amount higher than that which I'm not able to measure. With non-hot rod cells the high will be too close to what it does on medium.
Typically, good mode spacing is something like 100%-30%-3% to look 'normal', this driver is programmed more like 100-50-25%.
