    I'm looking for a 3A driver for a custom bike light project

    I guess I did forget to mention that part... The pack will be a 4-5S/2-3P pack. Still looking at what will work best. Total power draw is going to be around 48w (figuring around 85% driver efficiency). I will need a pack that will run for a minimum of 2 hours, but looking more at about 3...

    I'm looking for a 3A driver for a custom bike light project

    I'm working on a bike light for the Mrs and I. The lights are going to have 3 XM-L2s and have about 70+ sq inches of heatsink surface (mounted to the bike head tube). The LEDs will be driven by two drivers (1 on one, and 2 on the other) I have been looking at the Taskled drivers, but they are...

    The Future of Batteries

    Just a few points to throw in here for thought... If the first PRODUCTION EVs looked and worked like the Tesla S... The market would have been much, much better. Almost no one wants to drive something like the Volt (or any of the early production EVs). The range that ALL EV manufactures is...

    Flash only led driver.

    Well, the tail light is only part of it. The battery pack will be running a headlight with 3 XM-L2s (two in 105*13 degree lenses and one in an 8 degree) and a few others (that I haven't decided on, but I'm leaning on a pair of 3-Up Cree XP-G2 Stars that will be bare with a protective cover)...

    Flash only led driver.

    Yeah, I know that I may have to end up making my own driver... But I figured I'd ask if anyone knew of one, before I went through the hassle of making one myself. Still looking for the holder though... I know I've seen it, just don't remember where. It looked like 3 circles in a line and...

    Flash only led driver.

    I'm working on a custom bike light for the wife and me. I've got the front end almost figured out, but I want the rear flashers powered off the same setup (only one battery pack to charge). I'll be running 3 triple XP-E stars for each tail light. I plan to run them at full power during the day...

    Mounting a flashlight on my helmet?

    Try some hot glue... Like you find at craft stores. Get a high temp glue gun and glue. Clean the helmet and mount well. And if you are gluing on aluminum, put it under hot water to get it warm (the glue will stick to it better). This is how I did my wife and mine. And short of an impact...

    Incan Vanity Lights to LED

    My wife is a belly dancer, so she does a lot of makeup work. We just replaced two CFLs with the 2700K 60W Cree lamps, and still have two 43W halogen lamps. She seems happy with that (light output and color temp). But it really depends on the lighting the stage uses. If you are using...

    Sunwayman V11R vs JetBeam RRT-0

    But that kind-of does. Do you know what LED was being used?

    New reflectors capable of lighting and entire room with just 1 LED

    Great idea for decoration... But for lighting a room? Look at the picture of the people sitting at tables in front of the array... Almost no light at all. They would have been better off with bare (no reflector or lens) leds suspended from some overhead framework. Not as pretty-much more light.

    Can someone help me wire this light up?

    That does look to be the case. You might have one problem that you will have to deal with. All modern (turbine era) US aircraft have both AC and DC electrical systems. The DC system is a nominal 28VDC. The problem is with the AC. They use a 115v (for a single phase) 400Hz system. Your...

    Sunwayman V11R vs JetBeam RRT-0

    And on that note... Does anybody know of a Hi-CRI (or even a neutral tint) mod to the XM-l versions?

    Sunwayman V11R vs JetBeam RRT-0

    To All, Thanks for the help. I had ordered an RRT-0 on the 10th of last month. After the long delay (and the retailer said that they had not gotten any update from the supplier), I canceled my order and ordered a pair of V11Rs (one for me and one for the fiance). We should have them on...

    Sunwayman V11r vs Zebralight sc600

    I'm getting two of them (what ever they end up being). One of them is for my fiance. So I want to make sure that the light is very good quality. She only carries one light, so it needs to work every time. Plus, I don't want to be giving her a light of anything but the best quality (that does...
