Lux's tests showed that the 1909 flashed at 13.0V. This is with a manual turn of the voltage knob for a bench power supply, essentially the ultimate soft start. Thus, I'd say that the absolute ragged edge is at Vbulb=12.8V. It is unclear, however, if the bulb will survive even with the Slow soft start setting on the JM-PHD-D1 regulator. If you want some reasonable probability that the bulb will survive, I'd try 12.0V and work upward to 12.8V. All with Slow soft start. When the lamp flashes, back off by a couple of tenths of a volt back to where the lamp didn't flash. That's probably your max setting.
I'm running my 1909 at 11.8V, with Medium soft start.
Are kiu sockets or something else that would work with these available anyplace? A quick search didn't come up with any.
gVp, yours have shipped via First Class Mail international. I'll PM you the Customs code.
Does no one know about these?
Actually I meant the regulators. I thought they'd be selling like hotcakes. Oh well. I still have plenty. Come and get 'em, lads."KIU" kits? If so, I didn't till this past week .
BTW, regulators received. They look GREAT ! Man these dudes rock ! YOU rock
Thanks so very much.

Yes, it's annotated in the code. It's pretty straight forward.So if I want to turn a single mode regulator into a multi mode regulator later on, I just edit and recompile the source code right? I assume there are annotation notes in the code to make this pretty easy? I don't see it documented, is why I ask.
The word "response" doesn't appear in the code. However, from what you're describing. This is what you're looking for from the code.It is not mentioned what "response" is. Is this the time the driver takes to respond to a momentary input? Or is it how long you have to hold down the momentary button for the driver to perform the function?
Edit: after re-reading everything I have inferred that response is the amount of time it takes the driver to move in and out of Vlow, for battery recovery and such.
"Pot 2 (Vlow): Adjusts low voltage set point. (Clockwise increases) When the low voltage set point is reached (by falling pack voltage) and maintained for 0.125 to 0.5 seconds (configurable by the user), the output will be reduced and ramped up and down between 2 lower percentages of the set output voltage. It will pulse. If the batteries recover, the regulator will ramp voltage back up to the set point."
From the code:Also, what level does vlow dimming dim to? What levels does pulsing pulse between and what is the pulse interval? In dimming mode is the battery expected to recover such that it will effectively pulse but at a wide interval?
