I suspect not many of you have seen AW's notes about his soon to be released D drivers, and even better, a regulated driver (in 1-2 months). Scant details about it are buried in his C Driver sales thread starting with this post.
Basically, you will tell him the Voltage you want delivered to the bulb for a given application, and he will set it for that to now let you have regulated voltage. The battery source can be up to 30V and his regulated driver will step it down to the optimal bulb voltage.
So if you have a 14.4V battery pack, and you want to drive an 1185 at 10.8V (or 10.9V), his driver will work with that until your batteries either reach their own discharge cutoff (i.e. AW Li-Ion PTC cutoff), or the voltage sags below that specified setting.
This is essentially what AWR's (similar initials, but no connection) Hotdriver has been doing, but AWR's has an added bonus feature of the user being able to adjust the voltage delivered to the bulb with a screwdriver and DMM readings. So, AWR's Hotdriver is more flexible, but they are hard to get.
I am not sure if AW's new regulated version will also have the feature of various settings depending on the number of clicks, but that is a secondary benefit to being able to have a soft starting & regulated driver to get the optimum voltage for your bulbs without insta-flashing them.
The discussion about these drivers does not really belong in that long C driver sales thread, so I thought I would make this post, begging AW's forgiveness....but I cannot contain my excitement at this development.
