I've been considering making a very efficient 1x 18650 light that is as practical as possible. The main focus seems to be as a bike or headlight.
I have decided to look into using a Convoy S2+ host from MTN electronics and drive an XP-L triple v6 3C using a Qlite driver. Here's the tricky bit:
I don't want a stepdown timer. I want the maximum mode to be as bright as possible without being able to cause damage to the light assuming worst case scenario is wrapping half the light with fabric and letting it tailstand on a table at maximum output (Replicating a headlight setup) (I can deal with too hot to handle as I often won't actually be touching the light)
So! Does anyone have a clue as to the maximum drive current of this light without cooking anything or significantly reducing the life of the light? I'm assuming it's somewhere around 3.5-4.5A
