'''KD 7135 V2''' A series of three different drivers with different numbers of 7135 regulators from KaiDomain. The board uses a PIC microprocessor and has eight possible mode groups with optional memory of last mode depending on how you solder certain contacts. The Low mode is a very dim firefly mode that some people prefer (though they make [http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S020237 a 8x7135 version] with a little higher Low). KD uses higher capacity 380mA regulators instead of the usual 350mA, allowing for somewhat higher currents. This means the [http://www.kaidomain.com/Product/Details.S020073 8-chip driver] is a 3.04A driver, [http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S020064 6-chip] is 2.28A, and the [http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S020075 4-chip] is 1.52A. Some people have been able to request custom sets of modes to be programmed into the chip from KD.

'''NANJG AK-47''' 3x7135 2.6-4.5V 1000mA linear regulator. Two versions, one by DX (5-mode) and one by KD (2-mode) with unadvertised mode groups available. Both have stars on back that can be soldered for different groups. Modes are nicely spaced at 5, 30, and 100%. Efficiency is very high, 85-90% on High.

[[File:Nanjg101ak.jpg|thumb|300px|The NANJG 101-AK, 4x7135 version]]'''NANJG ROHS 101-AK''' 2.8-6V linear regulator. Two versions, one is a 3x7135 1050mAh driver with 3 (LMH), 5, or 7 modes selectable by clicky.

The other version of this driver is a 3-mode (LMH) version with 4x7135 on it already from [http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-133/**NEW**-3-dsh-Mode-Regulated-Circuit/Detail Shining Beam] with modes of 8%, 25%, and 100% with maximum output of 1400mAh. [http://budgetlightforum.com/node/289 Review]. [http://www.intl-outdoor.com/amc71354-5mode-circuit-board-nanjg-101aka1-p-254.html International Outdoor] sells a similar one marked '''101-AK-A1''' with 5 modes, but it can be set to 3 modes by soldering the two lower right legs together like the picture of the Shining Beam driver shows. | ||
'''NANJG 105''' 8x7135 linear regulator driver | '''NANJG 105''' 8x7135 linear regulator driver allowing 2800mA of current. Runs off a single lithium-ion battery (which won't stay at 2.8A for long). By default it is 5 modes, but has stars on the back similar to the other NANJG drivers that allow different groups of modes to be hardwired. The 105C is available at [http://dx.com/p/127684?Utm_rid=72863811&Utm_source=affiliate DX] or [http://www.intl-outdoor.com/amc71358-5mode-circuit-board-nanjg-105c-28a-p-216.html International Outdoor] where they also have a [http://www.intl-outdoor.com/amc71358-5mode-circuit-board-nanjg-105c-304a-p-667.html version] with 8 380mA chips for 3.04A total.
