    LED's for Stage Props

    DIWdiver, I like the regulator you posted above. As I move forward I am quickly learning that optics may be my next area to tackle. No question yet on that. I have noticed that some of the bike lights on fastech are just about what I am looking for, my concern with those is if they perform...

    LED's for Stage Props

    DIWDiver, Thank you for the time and effort. I am learning a lot. I suppose emitters in series or parallel impacts this next question. If I want to work with 18650's and the emitters are wired in series would the batteries need to be in series to hit the required voltage?

    LED's for Stage Props

    So based on what I know now I am thinking about 2 LEDs in parallel with a DC to DC buck driver. Mini DC-DC Converter Voltage Stabilizer/Regulator Module Max 3A draw http://www.fasttech.com/products/1253701 Cree XM-L2 T5-5B1 10W 995LM 4000-4200K Neutral White LED 1000ma...

    LED's for Stage Props

    So it seems that a resistor in the circuit would either burn up or waste the energy to heat loss. So a buck-boost driver it is. I am definitely learning more than I want to about this. May I should consider hot wiring the switch on a tiny monster.

    LED's for Stage Props

    I see, how much does the circuit change if we are talking about a momentary flash of light for 5 seconds. The effect would need to be used a few times in a show so the LED would need to survive about 500 cycles. I am taking a step back for education here to learn about calculating for a...

    LED's for Stage Props

    Ok Gurus, I would like to start using LED's in stage props. So the question is can I use this : http://www.fasttech.com/product/1341207 I liked the battery bank because it has multiple power outputs so I could possibly test various configurations. to drive this ...

    Help

    I appreciate what you are saying. However, in the class of a single AA light 70 bucks would be at the top of the class for production lights. Perhaps solid gold hosts are next?

    Why was this thread moved to budget lights? It's about a $70 titanium light?

    Not your everyday beam modifier....

    I have been considering it for a stage effect with fog. By "killing the spill" the effect on stage should be better.
