Thor X10 Mod - 3Power 1000W Spotlight - UPDATED FET/Components +Beamshots Added
Hi
Note: Updated FETs and resistor values
NOTE2: JimmyM has suggested that 2804 is probably still best as long as resistors are changed to the lower values.
Thor X10 with 3 Power levels 300/700/1000W using GE4557 Lamp
2x FET Switches - IRF2804 or IRF3206
A123 Power
Parts - New - Updated to higher standard !
THOR-X10 10,000,000CP Host
GE4557 twin-filment 1000W (High/Low Aircraft Landing Light) SkyGeek
10x A123 (1-Pack 36VDeWalt)
2x FET IRF2804 or IRF3206
2x 4.7K resistor (changed from 10k)
2x 2K resistor (changed from 4k7)
1x Copper Board (2sided)
Assorted wire
Deans plugs (1xF 2xM)
Assorted Crimp terminals
. . .
Mark out the FET Switch-board to get the right size
Cut it out . . . . Groove Drill Polish
.
Mount FETs . . . . Back Face
.
Add the rest of the components
NOTE: FET and Resistor changes Now IRF3206 + 4k7 + 2k
Add Inputs and Outputs - Front
Back - Common Neg-In ( Shows mounting holes too)
Wiring Loom - From Deans Plug - Through Emergency Cut-Off / FETs - To Lamp Terminals
Switch-Board Mounted
Internals - Spade connectors fit to existing Thor-X10 wiring and switches with no modification !
Lamp in Bezel - Note Bezel modified by removal of internel screw posts to allow lamp to sit flush with front.
Host Front inner edge Dremeled in four places to 45 degree internal angle to fit lamp.
Eight new fixing points for original bezel screws and the Emergency Cut-Off Mounted
Battery Pack - Way too much room - needs some foam bits . . .
All Done ! Rubber Bezel Protector/Embellisher and Tail-Cover fitted . . .
LOW = 300W Flood Beam
MED = 700W Spot Beam
HIGH = 1000W Flood+Spot Both filaments driven.
Cheers

Beamshots
More Beamshots . . . Super GreatJust did some beamshots . . . ?
Just out of my back window but they give some kind of comparison . . .
The Contenders
64625 - 64458 - 24W.HID - X10.3Power1000(GE4557) - LK14(GE4559X)
ALL @ 1/2sec f2.8 ASA100 WB-Incan
64625 (FM3-MOP 4xA123)
64458 (FM3-VLOP 5xE-Moli)
24W-HID
LK14 - GE4559X
X10-3Power - GE4557 300W Wide-Flood
X10-3Power - GE4557 700W Spot
X10-3Power - GE4557 1000W Spot+Flood
Well ?
