    Vector HID

    This is a picture of the bulb from the Vector. I have decided to just replace the bulb and ballast with an aftermarket kit for headlights. The only thing I need to fit in the old housing is the bulb. Can anyone tell me what bulb this is, like H3 or H7? Also, does anyone know if the Vector...

    Vector HID

    I have a Vector HID light. I extended the battery wires out the back, with plug in connectors so I could use an external battery. I had the light turned on, but I caught the wires on something and pulled the plugs loose. I tried to plug the battery back in. I did not think to turn the switch...

    Reducing inventory

    I agreed to send my Mag Light items to someone. My computer crashed and I have lost the conversation and your address. Please send me another note.

    Reducing inventory

    15-20 years ago, I was very involved in modding lights and various other enterprises. I have lost interest over the years, but still have things I will never use. I want to give away a number of items. I have Mag light parts and bodies, some LEDs, some regulators, and some lights. If you are...

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    TaskLED has almost what I need, but their dimming boards aren't rated for enough amps for my lights. I will be using either LiPo or SLA depending on which bulb I start with. This project is all DC, no mains. I found this. It allows external dimming, just not through the on/off switch...

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    I'm not worried about lamp lifespan, I know how to use buck and boost converters. What I want to know, is there a converter with a dimming feature on the converter, or how do I add dimming to a circuit.

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    Lamps I am considering are 12v 100W, 24v 250W, 28v 600W and 36v 400W. Say a buck for 12v and 24v, and a boost for 28v and 36v. I will not be changing lamps. I will have one converter/system and lamp for one light. If I want to use a different lamp, it would be in a different light and...

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    A lot of answers. Incandescent. Ramp time--don't care Buck, boost, or buck/boost--don't care Adding a module would be fine, but I don't know what I need. Budget--cheap Just show me some options, then I can decide what I want.

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    Let's approach this slightly differently. I am trying to power a portable light. I have found the following converters on ebay. All of them would work for what I am planning, but none of them have the ramp up and down feature. I need someone to tell me how to add the ramping feature to one...

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    Sorry for the confusion. I'm not real limited on range, depends whether it is buck or boost. Say 6v to 30v input and 6v to 30v on output. Any variation outside that range would be better. I'm thinking about 300W capability. I don't have a specific project in mind, I will base it on what is...

    Buck or boost converter that ramps up and down

    I need a DC-DC converter (buck or boost) that will ramp up and down with the power switch. Continuously or step variable. Output power up to about 10A. If you can give me a recommendation, please help.

    High load on regulators

    I watched a video on youtube last night. The guy says to put a .1 ohm 10W resistor on each converter output. He says that will make both regulators operate properly and share the load.

    High load on regulators

    I have some buck regulators that will handle 400W. I need to power a 600W load. I plan to use two regulators in parallel. Should I split the batteries and put half of them into each regulator and parallel the regulator output into the load, or should I parallel the full battery output into...

    Sold/Expired Need quad 18650 body for Mag head

    I have 2 elephants. I have ground down the switch stopper and use both of them with mag switches and KIU sockets. They both work fine. However, I do understand fivemega's disclaimer.
