Manta Ray on Aliexpress

The first driver looks like a slightly modded 22 mm version of the 20 mm H1-A.
3A vs. 2.8A.

I don’t know what the 3x SOT-3 devices are on the battery side of the MantaRay driver, but I don’t see anything comparable on the H1-A.

I see what you mean, something different going on between those two with those transistors. I’m not too knowledgeable on driver components or building drivers though, just noticed they were the same amperage rating.

I posted this in 2 other threads with discussion comparing the KD K5S to the Manta Ray C8.2:

Here are the two drivers with links to compare:

KD H1-A 3A (20mm):
Very Lo(5) > Lo(35) > Med(65) > Hi(100) Hidden Strobe: Double Click
Memory function : ( > 3 secs)

MantaRay LC-15 3A (22mm):
Very Low(20mA) > Low (300mA) > Medium (1000mA) > High(3000mA) Hidden Strobe: Double Click
Memory function : ( > 2 secs)

"Manta Ray C8.2" - Experiences?

It seems you and I both have been around the forum lately looking for input on the Manta Ray C8.2 and so far we haven’t found much, probably just going to have to take a chance on it. I also like the looks of the Manta Ray better for the same reasons, but that one thicker fin doesn’t bother me, in fact I never even noticed it until I saw it pointed out in this thread. I’m surprised you find the K5S ugly compared to the M2, to me the K5S looks like an M2 that takes a 26650 cell. Personally I do…

Recommend me an interesting light with XHP series emitter

. Here’s the Manta Ray with OP reflector (the one I linked earlier was SMO) XHP50-2-Highlight-Tactical-Flashlights-Torch-OP-Reflector . For some reason I like to look of this Manta Ray, I couldn’t find a NW version though they do sell a “Host” only version I may get to build my own: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Manta-ray-C8-2-black-flashlight-host/113294_32843933196.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.15a16286aWS4t5 . _ Drivers: KD H1-A 3A (20mm): Very Lo(5) > Lo(35) > Med(65) > Hi(1…
