I have two multi-cell lights I need P60 modules for:
1. Surefire C3 (18mm bored)
2. Surefire 9P (18mm bored, extended to 2x 18650 length)
Here are my criteria:
all that being said, I'm assuming my only option is the Lux-RC 334? I found a PDF of the "334 Subminiature High-Efficiency All-In-One 3UP LED Engine" sitting on my computer (the PDF itself is dated "April 2012" so I don't know how-- if at all-- relevant it may or may not be) and it looks pretty good. It can do up to 9.5 Vin and it appears it pumps 1.5A to each individual LED (correct?)
I think that 334 is what the Oveready/Torchlab v4.0 engines use, but I'm not sure.
So far as interface, I really don't need anything super complex, but would rather have something like so:
one thing I particularly like on seeing the Lux-RC 334's datasheet is that it has the "stand-by with flash" which can function as the "in the dark finder" which I think is awesome.
so I guess I should probably go with the 334 for my dream P60? would it meet my above requirements for UI somehow?
P.S.: I've noticed it has said "Coming soon" for a while now on the DIY products page for the Lux-RC drivers. How much are they in USD?
Thanks guys!
1. Surefire C3 (18mm bored)
2. Surefire 9P (18mm bored, extended to 2x 18650 length)
Here are my criteria:
- Take up to 8.4 volts or more (remember, I want to use 2x secondaries)
- it would be nice if I could run it on a single Li-ion rechargeable in an emergency (not required by any means)
- Prefer triple LEDs pushed hard
- either three XM-L2s with optics or XP-E2s with optics
- single mode or programmed extremely well so that I can cycle on/off when needed and it not jump to the next mode
- option for me to reprogram it on my own (not required, but it'd be nice!)
- I would rather not spend over $130 per P60

So far as interface, I really don't need anything super complex, but would rather have something like so:
- press and hold to change modes (maybe a high/med/low setup but you have to press and hold for ~3 secs to change)
- rapid on/off clicking won't change modes
- somehow have a means of instant access to a disorienting strobe mode
