    Diving can light from Kaidomain

    Ah Javier that totally sucks. Sorry to hear it. :thumbsdow When I was looking at it I was thinking that it had some design features/looked like some lights that I remembered reading about a while back that there was some trouble with. Thanks for your reply.

    Hmmm...this could be interesting to check. I would quite happily remove all hall sensors(?), aside from high, if it were to significantly reduce the drain when it's in 'off' position (standby). I have a couple of times now forgotten to unscrew the tailcap or remove the battery.....

    Diving can light from Kaidomain

    Hi folks, Just spotted this on KD: http://kaidomain.com/product/details.S020632 Got me to thinking if they would make for an easy mod into video lights for a GoPro. Any thoughts or experience from anyone. I can guess that there would be the usual mod of removing the reflector and moving the...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Thanks for the advice and info DIWdiver. After your above comment it got me to thinking again about an earlier post that mentioned using some shortened wires between the multi-meter and the light whilst taking the current readings. So I thought I would give that a go and see the result. The...

    Oh no....here comes my ignorance/inexperience again!! Which chip do you mean that you would like the text off?? Are you referring to the black chip(?) almost in the centre with the 8 legs/arms coming off it? I don't expect to be able to achieve 3A from this driver (the 2.8A-3A was an example...

    (I don't know if I should've started a different thread for this post, but here goes anyway) Hi again folks, This is a question to you driver building/modifying folks on here. Previously (with a different driver in a different XML project) I was informed by the builder of the driver that it...

    Re: TrustFire TR-J1 Charger Well after another e-mail from Kaidomain simply saying that they would send me a new driver as it would save me time (???) with no explanation as to what would need doing and so on....I decided it was time to pull this light apart just a little more. So...dropped...

    Compact video lighting for GoPro

    Hi and thanks for the response. I had considered whether the original XML could be an option, just without the optic and perhaps driven a bit harder, so it's good to hear someone else say the same thing. Some responses to you: "Are you saying that original driver supplies only 1.5 to XM-L?" I...

    Compact video lighting for GoPro

    Hi all, I've been searching around a bit for lighting to go along with my Hero2 GoPro. I have no plans of professional quality video, basically I am hoping for something reasonably compact (hence the compact camera) and don't have any plans for a canister light for this purpose. I have found...

    Re: TrustFire TR-J1 Charger Well sorry folks for the extreme delay in finally getting back here to post pics of o-rings and so on. Between sickness in the house and then being away on holidays (again...I know it's a tough life) I've not had a chance to do anything about this until now. @...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Not completely off topic but a little...... Upon breaking down one of these lights again and doing some measurements I got to thinking. Off the top of my head it seems that one of the aHorton aspheric lenses could fit quite nicely in this light head with very little modifying at all!?!? Does...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Ok....so back to reality after a good week of diving. Have some positive and some negative regarding this/these lights. Didn't take them below 42m, but seemingly no floods or anything like that which is good. The positive: Worked great as a light for travelling and not doing any seriously...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Usually it would be no problem to post pics, but I'm in transit on my way to Malta. So I'll have to do it in a week or so when back. Sorry about that. Meanwhile it's going to be a little 'trial by fire/water'. I've not switched out the o-rings, so we'll see what happens. Little bit comforting...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Just checked the tail cap current draw on my two and they are virtually identical. With fresh charged batteries- Trustfire 3.7v 2400mAh 4.2v- Hi-1.85 Med-0.91 Low-0.19 4.2v- Hi-1.83 Med-0.91 Low-0.19 I just used my multi meter as is. No using thicker wires(as was suggested earlier)or anything...

    TrustFire TR-J1

    Yeah I see your point about the different batches, but agreed that it's a bit strange between my two. Yes both lights have the "soft o-rings". Whether they actually are soft or if I just consider them to be is anyone's guess though I figure. But most of them look like they have a slither...
