I have this driver powering an XRE R2 set to single mode in my Match mod Minimag with no contact problems. I did add a couple blobs of solder on each side of the outer ring. It makes some serious light from 2 AAs.
Erik, I haven’t had time to play around with the one I have yet. Will it run off a single AA? What are the highest outputs you have been able to push from it using 1AA and 2AA?
That's a good single mode driver, but be careful. It looks very similar to the one I used in my quest for the highest lumen 2xAA light. With a bit of tinkering, it'll pull 7 amps off of two NiZn and push an xml to 600 otf lumens....for a few minutes till it burns up. There's definitely a sweet spot with the adjustment on these.
