Hi,
I thought of upgrading my friend's Vega100 50w diving torch which uses 10pcs of D-size 1.2 Batteries.

I thought of making a pack of li-ion batteries 11.1v and using a dc-dc converter into 12V.

Will that work?

- No need for dc-dc.

- if you use halogen bulb it is fine to made soft start (longer bulb life , possible overvoltage drive - more light )

- Li-ion could made that big lamp to much buoyant

- NiMh have more constant current discharging profile

PS:

You could mod it on HID ( because of big reflector , space , and lover temperature that produce 50W/100W halogen bulb)
