Low temp solder bond- no risk at all
I have one of the drivers re-springed like 7 times( i have realtively steady hand), its very well made indeed( the driver), and it seems a higher temp solder paste was used when it was made
Here, A type spring plus 22 awg soft silicone wire is the best, believe me, i tried everything, its better even over brass or CU pills
Tested it with a Cu pill cut from a 6mm Cu rod bought from Practiker store nearby - cut it, then machine sand it , yet the spring is better, maybe the CU wasnt pure enough…definately not oxygen free like a quality wire…(if you find a silver plated wire- the better)…maybe a high quality rod will do, wonder where to find those
I have the vague recollection that some popular mod lights have been mentioned as being suitable — or not — for use of this driver.
Maybe one warning that it could overheat the driver.
Anyone recall any specifics about lights to use, or to avoid, for this one?
(C’mon, convince me I need several more lights … or not …)
I have three of these I ordered from the second batch and I haven’t used them. I don’t expect I will as I have designed a bunch of my own drivers. My own designs are nowhere near as advanced as these but I prefer to use my own designs in my own lights, so I’ll sell the three I bought for the same price ($14.9 each) plus shipping, but only sell all three together.
They are unused, haven’t tested them or even taken them out of the board they came in.
