    Power Supply Question (Not Flashlight Related)

    ah...again my lack of details hindering the process. The power supply runs the entire trailer when connected to AC--lights, fans, water pump, water heater, accessory plug, etc. All of the electrical equipment except the water heater is original from 20 years ago and is fine with the output of...

    Power Supply Question (Not Flashlight Related)

    It is a propane water heater w/ electronic ignition and temperature control. There is a circuit board that connects to the igniter, temperature sensor, and gas valve on the water heater. I can't imagine heating water with 12v...the electric elements in the 120VAC models are 1000-1500W; drawing...

    Power Supply Question (Not Flashlight Related)

    I'll try that. I found a couple of 4700uF capacitors; I'll see what they do. I'll let you know what happens when I go up in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the help.

    Power Supply Question (Not Flashlight Related)

    The battery as a filter would be great, except I forgot to mention that a solenoid activates a switch once the power supply recieves AC current that disconnects the battery and powers the distribution block only from the power converter. I have considered connecting the power converter and the...

    Power Supply Question (Not Flashlight Related)

    Our camper has an unregulated 32 Amp 120 VAC --> 12 VDC power converter consisting of a transformer with a center tapped secondary winding and two diodes. I want to add a filter capacitor to the output, but I have absolutely no idea how large (in capacity) of a capacitor I would need. I...

    Battery's "Third Rail"?

    Might be a temp sensor. Lots of power tool batteries use them; the charger will wait until the pack cools down before beginning charging.

    Surefire M6 O-Rings

    Yep, I checked Lighthound. They had the bezel o-ring, but as far as I can see, they did not have the tailcap o-rings for the M6.

    Surefire M6 O-Rings

    I finally killed a set of batteries in my M6 yesterday (I've had it for almost 2 years...it gets very little use!) When I unscrewed the tailcap, the o-ring closest to the head came out in two pieces; it had rotted badly. Normally I use silicone grease on the threads and o-rings of all my...

    SF Luxeon lifespan and replacement

    Going to kinda hijack this thread...I'm also curious about replacing the LED in the L4. How diffucult is it to replace, and would putting in a higher binned luxeon give more light without any electronic modifications?

    My Humble Collection

    Thanks, appreciate the compliment. I've been having a lot of fun with this hobby in the last year, and it's nice that I found one that doesn't worry my parents except for the amount of money I've spent (my main hobby is JetSkis, and this winter, riding my friend's Banshee on frozen lakes...)...
