This is part two of my beginner modding experiments. In part one I started my search for budget friendly single cell hosts, primarily from Convoy.
Here I would like to get some recommendations for popular drivers for single cell, single LED lights - mainly for 3V LEDs like XPL, XPL Hi, and some others. From the budget ones I consider the BLF A6 driver for high power and good mode spacing. I dont like those Simons biscotti drivers due to no level between 35 and 100% output, nor any of his 4 mode drivers for SST40.
Beside budget versions I am also very interested in advanced drivers that would combine powerful turbo output with ultra-regulated lower modes for maximum constant runtime. Here I expect also proper LVP shutoff and plenty of output levels to choose from and possibly temperature protection.
I have been buying some drivers from Lexel, with Bistro OTSM HD, to mod tailclicky flashlights.
Those are not necessarily “budget” as the biscotti drivers but they are very good!
Thanks, I will check what Lexel has to offer. I also saw some advanced drivers “Dr.Jones” at MTN and some other ones at L4P, guess gotta ask the sellers about which one will fit my needs the best.
