Hey guys, I bought a cree XM-L led on ebay, and also a 3000mA driver on ebay. When i soldered it together my driver is only taking in 500mA at 4.2V
The specs for the driver:
Input Voltage: 3.7V ~ 4`2V
Output Current: 3,000mA (Max)
Modes:5(High,Middle,Low,Fast Strobe,SOS)
Diameter:16mm
Used for LED:Cree XM-L T6,XM-L2,SSC P7 etc
Application: Great for flashlight DIY.
Material: electronic components
Specs for the LED:
Available in white, 80-CRI white, 85-CRI white and 90-CRI white
ANSI-compatible chromaticity bins
Binned at 85 °C
Maximum drive current: 3000 mA
Low thermal resistance: 2.5 °C/W
Wide viewing angle: 125°
Unlimited floor life at ≤ 30 ºC/85% RH
Reflow solderable - JEDEC J-STD-020C
electrically neutral thermal path
UL-recognized component (e349212)
Size (mm x mm) 5 x 5
Maximum drive current (A) 3
Maximum power (W) 10
Light output Up to 1052 lm @ 10 W, 85°C
Typical forward voltage (V) 2.85
Viewing angle (degrees) 125
Binning 85°C, ANSI
Thermal resistance (°C/W) 2.5
Reflow-solderable Yes – JEDEC J-STD-020C-compatible
RoHS and REACH-compliant Yes
UL-recognized component Yes – Level 4 Enclosure Consideration
I have an ultrafire KF-T60 and it has a XM-L T6 led and it's super super bright, and the Led I just got is nowhere near that bright. The input voltage from the 18650 is the same as my power supply.
Now, i'm not sure how to make the LED/driver accept more current, my power supply can supply up to 16V at 3.2A, anyone have suggestions? :/
