    Default Constant current LED driver

    Just saw that the store added these today. Other than being set and not adjustable, how do they differ from the other driver the store carries?

    Read the specs for each. The new ones may be fixed, but they handle more volts and have many features the old board does nto have.

    It looks like the new one is a driver and the add on board on one PCB.

    That is correct.. it is all one board like the old 3w driver.

    So with the flash on clash setting, does that mean if its set to say; 1500. It will flash up to that point, or higher?

    I'm assuming minimum input is 6V just like the old board?

    And keep in mind this voltage is the minimum needed towards the end of the battery pack charge. Example 2 Li ions (7.4v pack) get down to about 5v before the protection pcb shuts down the pack. If driving a green led at 1500ma vf 3.7v you need at least 4.7v. The 7.4 v packs give you just enough power for almost any setup. They are highly recommended.
