    Energizer 3 AAA headlamp is now a lot brighter

    It's HDL33A2E, but after doing some research it looks like that is the same model number for the old one too. What you want is the new 36 lumen, 6 LED one. At Walgreens.com they have a picture of the packaging where it says 36 lumen(my packaging looks different but stills says 36 lumen and 4...

    Energizer 3 AAA headlamp is now a lot brighter

    For anyone who is a fan of the 3 AAA energizer headlamp sold almost everywhere, good news it's now a lot brighter. I compared it to the old one and thought maybe the old one wasn't as bright since I put Eneloop rechargeables in it, and so I switched the batteries around and sure enough the new...

    Would this schematic work? (3 boards in parallel)

    I thought that was a C-bin, o well it seems like you are hijacking my thread and it's the very first reply lol (thanks for the tip though). Well I changed it to a C-bin. The question still remains, will this schematic work?

    Contemplating SST-90 build! wacha think?

    Well according to the chart on here, it can put out 2250 lumens at 9.0 A: http://www.luminus.com/stuff/contentmgr/files/0/49fb13dd1ecd06ba454cc7714a96b032/misc/pds_001342_rev_03_sst_90_w_product_datasheet_illumination.pdf From what I read about the SST-50, it's capable of 1250+ lumens when...

    Would this schematic work? (3 boards in parallel)

    Here is what I was thinking: P7 C bin http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1761 3 of these 800mAh single mode drivers: sku.3256 3 of these switches: sku.5602 I was going to make a caving light out of them, and my theory is this: if 1 or 2 or your switches or drivers brakes...

    Please Help, what kind of 18650 battery to get for this P7 light?

    My brother just bought a Aurora AK-P7-4 HA-III SSC P7-C 2-Mode 900-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*18650) http://www.bestofferbuy.com/Aurora-AKP74-HAIII-SSC-P7C-2Mode-900Lumen-LED-Flashlight-118650-p-14146.html?currency=USD&utm_source=gbase&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=gbase And I was wondering, if the...

    So what is the brightest P7 flashlight for around $50(32 pounds)?

    This "Aurora AK-P7-3 SSC P7-C 5-Mode 900-Lumen LED Flashlight (2*18650/4*CR123A)" claims 2960 mA, do you think it's true, or I mean consistent? Or what about this "TrustFire SSC P7-C 900-Lumen LED Flashlight (2*18650/17670)"? I read that you need 2 18650 batteries to generate anything near...

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    That's funny that I was right the first time when I said charging your batteries slower might add some more lifespan to them. I kept the part in my article where I mention that the Energizer charger might overcharge your batteries. I have not tested it enough to know exactly how bad it is, but...

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    I know this is going to sound like a noob question, but I am not %100 sure how the Apex's circuitry works, and so here is the question: When the Apex is running it's LED at 600 mA, what is the amount of drain each battery sees in mA? Even a ruff estimate with a tiny explanation would be...

    $10 would have been nice, but it's nice to know that the ultimate charger can be had for a lot less than $100. Thanks guys!

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    O don't worry, if you re-read it right now(well in a few minutes, it takes a while for it to actually update) the E word is only there to bash the company (like how VidPro wanted), but I do like their 3 and 6 LED headlamps (with Nichia's), but o well they are actually made by a different company...

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    Are you %100 positive? I wish you could site your findings if you read that somewhere, because I am in disbelief, because if it's better for them to discharge them slowly you would think the same holds true about charging them. I guess you do know a lot more than I do, but I read on here a few...

    How to make battery discharge graphs?

    I took some graphs that SilverFox made and opened them up in photoshop, properly resized them all to fit over each other, and I made this graph: But it took me 2 hours, but o well I don't have any cool gadgets like you guys. Chris

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    O and thanks everybody for the information on how crappy the Energizers are, I will remove all of that. Is there any store bought rechargeable that you all could recommend? Can't you get low self-discharge Tenergies at Walgreens or something, are they any good?

    Looking for rechargeable battery experts?

    I thought I saw on the Discovery Channel that AA lithiums are made of nothing but water, so technically you can just throw them in the trash. I wonder if you are thinking of Li-ions that need to be recycled and not the Energizer AA's? Actually I did mention all of that a few times: * I...
