I haven’t looked for ages, so forgive me if this has been covered recently.
The Shadow JM35 uses a nifty boost driver to run an MT-G2 LED from a single 26650. Anyone know if you can buy this sort of driver easily these days?
I’m not looking for record breaking emitter amp levels, but it would be nice to build some MT-G2 lights or similar without needing to resort to 2 x Li-ion.
Recently theomajigga showed his driver:
Efficiency is, from what I read, still a problem, but I would love to see this driver brought to the BLF/market.
Kaidomain has a range of buck/boost drivers based on the original - http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S020121
Thanks but I don’t think that sounds quite what I’m after, e.g. from the listing:
“This circuit comes with low voltage protection at 5.7V, so please use two or more li-ion for best result.”
You can request LVP be turned off, see this question/answer - http://www.kaidomain.com/product/browsediscussions/111
Wasn't the driver from the DQG triple supposed to be suitable?
I can't bring up the website at the moment as it seems to be down for maintenance. www.cnqualitygoods.com
I believe Ric was selling these drivers (V2) separately. I had good experiences with him for a couple of years but when the switch on the driver in my DQG triple (V1) failed and I tried to get a replacement driver, the email replies just dried up.
You may have better luck.
