Hey I'm new to posting on CPF but having been sifting for a while!
I am looking at building up a new light for nightriding and looking for a little advice.
Light specs will be as follows:
2 x XML (series) driven using a Lflex at 2.8A (7.4v battery)
Questions:
How much surface area would be recommended in the housing for this setup?
Any recommendations for Lenses or reflectors?
I know I need 7.2v to run the 2 LEDs in series. I want to maximise burntime. What battery config would you recommend? 2S2P at 5600Ahr will only last 1.5hr at max (appx). I was thinking 6 or 8 cells instead of four - has anyone else attempted this config before?
With a side by side design, do you think mounting the light to be on the centre line is important? Or mounting it off to one side would be sufficient?
Any feedback is welcomed!
Cheers
Sparky
