Hi, I'm an aerospace electronics engineer, but this will be my first DIY flashlight project.
I'd like to build a single 18650 unit with a UV LED (which I already have) requiring 500mA and Vf of 5V. Considering using a Convoy S2+ host, but am wondering if there is maybe a better host with a bit more thermal mass out there? My LED is not very efficient and will get very hot.
I also did a Google search for LED drivers, but the signal to noise ratio there seems to be very low and I had a hard time telling what was junk and what was legit. Where can I find a variety of decent quality drivers that will fit a Convoy S2+?
