    Remember The Thor HID Conversion Craze?

    I enjoyed the larryK style 1000W GE4556 lamp with JimmyM driver, pretty impressive in 2011, Think I estimated the output at ~1150 Watts to be 28K lumens.

    1000 lumens single 18650 suggestions for 2014

    Better heat sinking, where was this discovered? Seems like a very nice single 18650 light for $50, considering its performance.

    GE-4556 available again!

    Does look a bit thinner than my 4556. 4556 also has only 2 coilings.

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    A variable ouput version is not worthwhile with the standard vrla battery, a variable reg would give a range of 20-50 watts, this gives roughly 20-28-45/50w, if running on a lipo pack or continous supply it would be a good idea. Forgot to mention that the max output battery figure I have is...

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    Hello, Sorry, I failed to deliver on this one, life gets in the way of life as it does. I saw the new stanley battery thread a few days ago, and finally made some of these devices, I only made 4, I am unsure if there is still much interest. Output power is 17-20W low. 28-29W normal, 50W on a...

    Possible new contender for the 1Kw larryk crown

    Higher voltage lamps such as this do not always compare so favourably to the low voltage units we are used to, the higher voltage calls for a thinner filament wire, which tends to provide a larger overall filament size, the larger filament's experience more heat loss, reducing their efficiency...

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    I have decided to use a different switch, due to the low mode. It will probably be around a two week wait for the switches to turn up. To recap. I don not know if this mod will work on the HID0109, I would guess the high would, not sure about the low. The low mode I have added run's VERY...

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    When plugged into a car I would expect to see a maximum of 14.4V (minus the protection diode), or around 90W at the ballast, this will not cause immediate failure but it is pushing it fairly hard, The low mode will most likely not work in this case either.

    600 Watt Short Arc M-134 Cannon Light - INFANT AN/ASQ-132

    Re: 500 Watt Short Arc M-134 Cannon Light I believe they are both power transistors.

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    *Just about to put some of these together, realized I can very easily incorporate a 30W LOW mode, any interest in this? Though it will only work with standard internal SLA battery. I could not recommend this, at 16.8 volts I would predict around 118W into the ballast, I have not tested this...

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    I just ran the torch with the mod on continuously, the battery lasted for 16 minutes, the ballast was fairly warm to the touch, but no signs of trouble. $12 USD shipped worldwide, $17 USD for two. I Hope to make them in the next few day's.

    Stanley HID 3000 pot mod 17-83W

    Sorry guy's been busy and waiting for some parts, I will make these up in the next few days. Who want's one? should be <$15 dollars including postage, if I send it as a letter. I had also looked at the numbers and found a fixed multiplier on the control circuit would give a fixed output...

    Jetbeam PA40 Neutral: impressions of the tint and beam profile.

    No problem, just note that the bottom of my two pictures is more realistic of real life, the top picture is for a comparison between two different neutral whites.

    Jetbeam PA40 Neutral: impressions of the tint and beam profile.

    Does anyone know if there has been a change in tint for the PA40W, I received one a few days ago, and while I am very impressed with the design, build and finish I have found the (N)W version to be a little warmer than I had hoped. Compared to a T6 3C, you can see that the PA40W is a little...

    Paralleling 2 battery packs together

    It should be fine, as both battery packs are in parallel they are forced to discharge at the same voltage as each other. If the battery packs are in simmilar condition all will be well, depending on how good the protection circutry is, about the only worry about it kicking in I would have...
