Seeing an excellent application for this current regulated driver.
I’ve read the entire thread through, trying to get an understanding as to what this driver does and doesn’t do. And for me, I see an immediate benefit in a particular light. I have a Sinner Cypreus EDC 18350 light that I just put a triple XP-L in. With the BLF17DD it pulls insane numbers, like 9.3A for 2960 lumens. Too much, too small of a light, too small a cell to push like that. Obiously the lower modes work, but as I now see are not very efficient.
This driver would bring the total output down, while regulating the lower modes to have much better efficiency. And on a light like this the lower modes are the ones that would mostly be used anyway. With the entire light being copper, thermal transfers will be optimized. Run times in low modes will be excellent and reliable. Seems to me like this is a tailor made driver for this type of EDC light.
Am I missing anything? Probably am, so please somebody tell me if there are more pros/cons to using this driver in this light.
Can’t wait for it to become available, really would like to have this in my favorite EDC.
