i am not shure???

the canister build , i was thinking doing like the Archon canister simpl small but enoth.

if someone can tell me better please any help is welcome.

Best Regards
Stefan

Any thing is possible, many are not practical. That light head is not a dive light so will need sealing and maybe strengthening. It is also not a video light so will need further modification.
In short, bad choice.

Do some reading on this forum about video lights. You can do much better than those. Packhorse has a great scratch-built video light, as do several others, and there are several mods discussed that would be easier for a beginner.

I don't know about others, but to me Archon is a bad word. Do some research on CPF if you want to know why. There are many threads discussing DIY canisters that are excellent.

Personally, I love the 26650 cell for a single-cell light. My last two light builds are for 26650's. It has just enough capacity edge over an 18650 to make a difference to me. For multi-cell lights, its advantage is greatly reduced because in many cases multiple 18650 cells fit better than multiple 26650 cells. Also, you can't beat the bang-for-the-buck of an 18650. Because the 18650 is made in much larger quantities, it is cheaper per watt-hour than any other LiIon cell. I'd look at 6 or 8 18650 cells compared to 4x 26650 cells before deciding for sure.

Many thanks for your answer , I just want to spend a lot of money , of course I can build a proper one , like my torch , shut be easy not to expensive and a lot of light and working.
Other idea is a proper canister with lipo and 2 small light heads with 4 XML
Thing is , I am here in madeira and we are a bit limited here ,,, milling machine , no anodising, where I can find someone to make it.
Led driver and cells I bey in the net but the rest. Nit easy here.

Anyway best regards
Lot light and good air
