I'm relatively new to building flashlights. This is my 5th light...and it's not working! I'm pretty sure it's a compatibility problem, but I want to understand why. Any help is appreciated.
Here's what I'm using (all purchased from Mountain Electronics):
I was sure this would work no problem, which tells me that I'm probably missing something essential to continuing in this hobby...Thanks for your help!
Here's what I'm using (all purchased from Mountain Electronics):
- Host: Convoy L2
- with 2x18650 unibody tube
- Driver: LD-4B 2.4A 17mm Buck Driver (3v-16v)
- I used this driver thinking it would give be the most output with no frills...That was my understanding of buck drivers, but maybe I'm missing something.
- The L2 calls for a 20mm Driver, so i used a Brass Adapter Ring because I didn't have 20mm on hand. I soldered the ring in place.
- LED: 3x Cree XP-L High-Intensity U6 3C LEDs on Noctigon 3xp MCPCB (pre-bridged)
- I removed the pre-soldered wires and soldered the leads from the driver into the same spots where the wires were connected on the MCPCB.
