Re: FS: SST-50 / SST-90 MAG D Deluxe Heatsink ***Ready to ship***
This looks like the ultimate "easy" MAG upgrade, but I'm wondering if a driver is available that will supply the ~9 (ish) amps of current needed to drive the SST-90 to its full potential?
If I remember correctly the hipCC is only good to ~3-4 amps ( correct me if I am wronf here! ) could multiple boards be stacked?
While I know that driving such a beast would make for a HOT flashlight, It would still be awesome to have that kind of WOW factor on high and still have a useable light when regulated down:twothumbs
I saw someone else ( forgive me i forgot his handle
) who has a MAG-mod SST-90 and is up to ~7.3 amps using C nimh batts. But I think he is DD.
this brings me to another question that is bothering me, why can't anyone get higher current out of 26650 li-po cells? Are they protected against higher drain levels? Coming from a bit of R/C background, one of the great things about li-po cells is the massive discharge rates they offer.
So I am wondering, if unprotected cells could be had with a 20C or so discharge rate, wouldn't that be the prefered power option? Of course an external low voltage cut off would be needed to prevent over-discharging.
how cool would it be to have a 3 or 4 ( C or D ) mag light with ample storage to run long periods and enough poop to provide ~30sec. bursts of 1800+ lumens
.
Cant wait for the SST-90's to become more readily available, what a cool mod!
