    UTD Cannister Dive Light

    Hi Johan, I'm sure you are correct so it would appear that the specifications of the light are incorrect. I don't know of an Ostar that gives 1000 lumens at 10 watts. steve edit : I have emailed the company and asked the question

    UTD Cannister Dive Light

    If it's putting out 1000 lumens for 10 watts it ain't an Ostar. The numbers don't match. Most likely going to be a MC-E or a P7. 1.4A drive current suggest MC-E as it's individually addressable.

    Dive Light LED

    Re: Need help finding reflector for dive light The Fraen 34mm is ok but nowhere near 6-degrees. You aren't going to find a 6-degree beam with an MC-E in MR11 format I'm afraid. The closest I've got is by removing the glass lens from an MC-E and using the Fraen reflector. This had the effect of...

    HID control PCBs (group buy of new NGX lamps/ballasts)

    Parts arrived about an hour ago. :D. Fired it all up from a 12v dc supply and all is good. Nice narrow beam, plenty of spill too, and the colour temp is nice too. It gets very hot after 15 mins sitting inside its aluminium dive light housing so I'll probably try some thermal tape or goo between...

    How to test total power used by led + driver?

    The best way would be to hook it up to a bench power supply and read off the voltage and current. Watts = volts x amps How accurate do you want the results to be ?

    o-ring vs gasket?

    If you need to get it apart again at some time in the future I'd say a properly-sized o ring is the way to go. My own dive light has a single o ring and can do 300m. They use o rings in critical applications such as rebreathers so I would tend to trust the science behind them.

    DIY modular light system: 4xP7 dive light

    4 x P7's should be very effective if the beam is narrow enough. Nice project !. Looking forward to some underwater beamshots..

    How to wire 9 xp-g for direct drive?

    The problem with wiring led's in parallel is that they all get exactly the same voltage. This means that unless the Vf of each led is exactly the same, they will draw different currents and hence have differing brightness levels. This could even mean that one or more of the led's is...
