I’ve been working on a way to use amc 7135 drivers with series batts. I just finished testing 3xml with 12v supply. Not a buck driver so 8.4V would work with quad led pcb(2s2p). Not for single led light. In this thread
You can see how. Post #84 shows the chips mounted on a separate heat sink. I’m not finished yet but 2-cell lights were one possibility I was considering.
Yeah Iknow but it is what it is, If I change the driver sideclicky would be redundant. (will be left without function)
Or I woud somehow connect new driver to that dsideclickyx driver, who knows.
The problem is that it is little too expensive for my purposes. Secondly, I dont understand description, there is mention of 3-3,5A current and 5,0A current for single LED, so I dont know what number is relevant in the end.
Ok, later I read on kaidoforum.
“Hi, In a single XM-L, low(0.5A) Mid(2.2A) Hi(5A) In triple XM-L, low(0.2A) Mid(1.3A) Hi(2.8A). We suggest it used in 2 or more XM-L.”
Now I know, current is 2,8A on high.
But why they suggest using with multiple XMLs?
Also, how quick is mode memory.
Its little to expensive to put 15$ driver in 24$ light :o
Ecig. I have bought two of these drivers and used them in single led flashlights. They are both different. The first one I bought on high and low put out 5 and 4 amps. The second one I was alot happier with as it was on high 5 amps and med 2 amps. The memory works pretty much straight away on both. Another difference was one was high, low then medium and the other was high, mediun and then low. They both make a slight hum on medium and low. I have linked to the threads if your interested. The HD-2010 is still a work in progress. This driver is post 41. I like the HD-2010 driver a lot more than the one in the JM05. Drivers are a lottery. They both came from KD.
Memory would be just over a second to kick in. This driver is probably not ideal though as 5 amps creates to much heat for efficient light output. I have used these drivers also and both have quick memory.
I honestly dont have a preference for one over the other. Apart from the IOS one having a separate battery board they are very similar. I would suggest whatever one would best suit your pill. E1320 from memory has used this driver.
Fit for XM-L; Work with 1x Lion battery or 2 x lion batteries
Dimension：
Upper Diameter: 18.5mm，Bottom Diameter:20.5mm, Thickness <10mm。
When the volt is below 3V on 1xbattery or below 5.8V on 2x battery, the light will alarm.
Anti-reverse protection
LD-29 modes——2 groups
1、Hi 3000mA- Mid 700mA— Lo 100mA
2、3000-700-100-Strobe-SOS
Runing 5 seconds on Low mode the light will flash, then you can change group by turning off and on.
With Mode Memory
Both of those look to be either copies of or the same as the KD super output P7 driver. I have used them in several lights without problems though others have had some. CPF has a thread or two on them. The efficiency is ~80% on high and much lower on med and low but I’ve heard it’s better at higher input voltage(with higher Vf as well). The memory (KD version) seems quick. If the single board version is the same as KD there is a post instead of a spring on the side opposite the inductor for battery+. There is no ground ring just two plated indents for battery -. I’ve found them serviceable but not of very high quality( poor soldering, out of spec components, inconsistent performance) but a quality buck driver with modes will cost >$25.
