I haven't tried to keep track of that. I know some people have used it to drive xml's using it in it's stock configuration (7ish amps). It's a popular UF-T90 mod. Driving an xml/xml2 over 7 amps is touchy business with any driver. I did a quick search and saw a couple examples of driving xml's in other lights or just testing of 7 amps and less.:
Im basically trying to find out which high output drivers are out there and how good they are. So please, share your info with the drivers I mention. Or link to other drivers of interest.
My main reason behind this thread is finding drivers that will do 6A++ to a single XM-L2.
SST-50 driver sold by FT and various places. Specs says: 4A- 5 mode
Is it any good? Can it easily be resistor modded? (looks easy to resistor mod)
The review on FT site says that driver uses PWM and beep during ope…
Thanks Relic38 for the info on modding the small sun ZY-T08. I used your easy instructions for modding the carrier so I could run a SST-90 driver in mine. I’m using it to drive a de-domed XM-L2 U2 on a 20mm Copper octogon. I’m guessing it’s right at 7 amps to the emitter. I had to grind down the outside of the driver to make it fit but it works perfect. I’m guessing 1500 lumens or so and a throw that just says wow. I’ll post some beamshots tonight.
Curious what emitter currents you kill various LEDs at when using them in flashlights.. Wondering if some consistenly are able to push LEDs higher than others (assuming their reading is fairly correct.) And if there is a pattern between the driver that was used (current spikes) and if the LED was domed or dedomed.
For people who share their setup, im only interested in emitter amps. No guesswork based on tail cap readings and such.. And please, do not let these deaths put you off from killing …
