    Differences with these two lasers?

    I am doing some research on a DIY add on for my 3d printer for a laser engraver. I do not know much about lasers other than the higher the MW the more powerful the laser. I am currently looking at these two laser modules http://www.gearbest.com/3d-printer-parts/pp_368053.html...

    18650 charger......charger.

    I would buy the UM10 in a heartbeat if it allowed me to charge off of the 18650's alone.

    18650 charger......charger.

    Ive seen the UM10 but it seems like the charger needs to be connected to an external source along with a battery to charge something like a cell phone and the battery alone wont charge devices. Is this true?

    18650 charger......charger.

    I've done a little bit of research for this but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for so maybe you guys could help. I'm looking for a simple 18650 charger that I could plug into a USB output such as a computer or even a solar panel but will also be able to be used as an external charger...

    Im having a hard time choosing a new light!

    Hey, so the holidays are coming up soon and I'm due for a new light and have a bit of cash to buy myself a present. Im torn between two lights the sunwayman t45c and the Eagletac m3c4 with the single LED. Both have a considerably high lumen output and both take two 18650s. So I consult the...

    Is it possible to power a 55w HID with 18650's?

    Hey thanks for the responses! Yeah I think the RC battery is a much better idea thanks for that. I think with the size and shape of the battery I may be able to fit 2 in the light and double the runtime.

    Is it possible to power a 55w HID with 18650's?

    I am building a 55 watt HID flashlight and space in the body is tight. I figure I can fit 8 18650's at 2500 mah each cell. the battery would sit at 14.8v 5000 mah with a four pack of cells doubled up for mah's. Has anyone built a pack like this before and would it power my light? Any help is...

    Review with pics and beamshpts: G&P Scorpion

    That's amazing! I'm almost certain I'm going to be getting this light soon. I have a couple more questions if they aren't to troublesome to answer. How long would you say the battery lasts? Do you think it would be possible to swap out the stock 18650 bundle pack and put in 18650s with a higher...

    Review with pics and beamshpts: G&P Scorpion

    Hey Doberman, Thanks for the review. I have been looking at this light for some time now because I love the body style and the upgradability of it.

    3000 Lumen Spotlight Build

    Thanks for all the replies. i think that Norm is right. i wouldn't mind keeping the HID system in place as long as i had a lighter battery but then if i kept my HID system what is a good small host to put it into along with the ballast? I've seen the huge monster hosts people have used but they...

    3000 Lumen Spotlight Build

    Hey all, so i had this idea the other week and I've decided to consult the experts for some advice on how to build it and if its even practical. I have a KC slim-light housing lying around with an HID bulb and ballast connected to it. I have been using a giant lead acid 12v battery to power it...
