What series/parallel sequence for your V54 lights?

In trying to match my inventory of batteries to my V54 lights, I realize that I need to know whether they run in series or parallel or a combination like 2p/2s.

It's not always obvious to me from the layout of the carriage because wires may be crossed where I cannot see them.

I'm hoping that we can post the V54 lights we know about in this thread and I can be helpful to others.

Here's one I'm sure about...
T21vn is all series.

if I remember correctly, my tn42vn (xpg2) is 4p. not sure about the tn42vn (xhp35).

T21vn, m30cvnT, m30cvn35, m30cvn35T, and ec4gtvn are all series. Basically, all the long lights are naturally series I guess. hahaha!

mm15vn is 4s also

Tm16gtvn, tn36vn, tn40vn, x9vn are all 2s2p.


I suppose another rule of thumb is look at the LED. Vinh GENERALLY puts his lights in parallel and configures the batteries to match their voltage. This is especially true for driverVN(x) lights. I say "generally" cuz I'm sure there are exceptions, especially those mega-lumen lights or lights that have many different kinds of emitters.

xhp35 is 12v
xhp50(.2) and xhp70(.2) are 6v
xpg, xpl, nichia 219(b,c) are 3v
