Tom’s so fun to poke fun at…
Dale, I love that post of yours. All the questions made my head start to spin and I'm not even on my 10th beer yet.
I actually started reading those Q's thinking... 
Crap gotta go - fun to have some fun BBQ/Beer/ice luge/live band....
Would anyone pay $8 for a 28Kcd gain in output?
I just put an UCLp lens in my Courui big head with a de-domed XM-L2 emitter. Before the swap…341.25Kcd (1168.76M). After the swap…369.25Kcd (1215.32M)! Niiice!
Keep that in mind for the big K50 V2 guys… I know it’s supposed to have an AR lens, but does it stack up to what flashlightlens.com can do?
Just a heads-up, the big FET, AOD417, is a P-channel, so don't anybody go sticking a 70N02 in its place. Bad Things will happen if you do that.
So, have any of you guys worked out what to do with the driver yet given the differences to the normal TN31/K40 one? I’m looking at you Tom…. 
I’m keen to pull mine apart as soon as it arrives but unlike a lot of you guys, I do not understand what most of the components on these drivers do. so I am really relying on someone else to tell me what to solder where haha
Im pushing up towards 8A to mine at the moment.. 0:)
^ Ya Baby! Music to my ears.
Sorry, haven't been able to get back to it. The 8A sounds nice! Any details on the resistors?
Hmm what is the jumper wire and FET doing in Tom E’s photo?
Crazy, just the way I like it! :bigsmile:
LSX, I’m with you…I don’t know all the ins and outs of the electronics, just show me where to touch some solder and what component to add or subtract and I’m good!
Wow! That is awesome. Details with photos if you could please!!
Cant say if its reliable yet. Ive not assembled the light fully. And I think it might be wise for me to "pot" the resistor area of the driver like it was when stock.
Outout seems to be sinking FAST. I could say its 7-8A. But its more like 7A it seems. Ill have to do more testing. But not feeling like pushing it unless the driver is properly cooled.
Ill get back when I know more. No need for others to try and replicate what Ive done just yet.
Edit: Ryan, no need to update OP yet. 8A is not a representative number for the output. Btw, Ive posted stock numbers too.
No reason to assume it's a FET, there's other stuff that comes in that same SOT-23 package.
May the stock emitter rest in peace.
Sorry to hear that RaceR86, but pumping 8A through XM-L2 seems a bit too much, 6A is powerful enough while not putting the LED into life-threatening zone. Thanks for testing this out for us. 
Oh noes, ready for round 2?
Keep up the good work mate.
No. Its the right amount. :D
The issue with the driver is that its not nicely and properly regulated when pushing it that far. So when Im seeing 7,9A as the first number that pops up on my DMM, I may have been giving it a lot more the first millisecond. Also, I did some minor tweaks that may have raised it above 8A in the setup I tried. 0:)
Unless this driver gets some special tweaks, then Im skeptical that it will do 7A+ regulated with good reliability.
