Hi, been a while since I was in here. I wired up a new SOB917 into my EDC last night (Surefire L5 w/extension to make it hold 2 x 18650 AW batteries). The old board lasted a long time. I had a spare one on hand.
Anyway, it only draws about 400 ma when hooked up to my power supply set on 8 volts, which is roughly the voltage of my battery pack fully charged.
I've gone over everything. I installed new wires. I thought maybe the emitter was bad (Cree XR-E WH tint) so I desoldered the board and wired it to a new emitter. Same thing, ~400 ma and low light.
What do I need to look for?
Many thanks!
