aa titanium

[Burntrice]

Hi all, I've got a hankering for a titanium 1xAA, does anyone have any recomendations?
Cheers!

If you have lots of $$ get McGizmo's new 1xAA engine lights... But if on a tighter budget, try Eagletac's D25As.

The 47 mini AA TI can be a great choice also if your budget is limited...

Harder to get since it was a limited edition, the regular Quarck AA TI.

You can also consider a SWM V10R+ with a TI extender...

Thanks all, I love McGizmo, whats the name of the AA lights?
Do you have a link by any chance?

I recently got one with the Nichia 119V and really like it. It is a good companion with my Haiku 3S XM-L.

Thanks yoyoman, at first I thought that was just an AA battery body that could be used with the regular heads, am I wrong?
I've sent Don an e-mail, I fancy a sundrop.

Yes, the new driver works on 0.8-4.5 volts ... :D

Although I still can't figure out if there is any advantage to running higher voltage cells like 3V CRAAs or 14500s (ie, is it brighter?)... Think Don said anything over 3V gets wasted as heat?

 

[BenChiew]

The AA converter was designed to handle primarily the various AA voltage range. It starts from 0.8 volts which is considered dead for any AA battery. A fully charged or unused AA primary starts from 1.2 right up to 1.8 volts for the lithium variant. So this is where the converter will work best.

But if you so choose to run a 4.2 volts 14500 rechargeable or even a RCR123 rechargeable or even a CR123 primary, the converter will accommodate. As Don said, anything above 3 volts will be wasted in generating more heat rather than lux out the front.

Despite the ability to take a 4.2 volts, it does not negate the primary function of efficiently running AA battery types.

If you have wanted to primarily use a RCR or CR123, Don's 3S model sells for the same price. So it is a matter of choosing what works for you.

 

[reppans]

So does that mean a CR123/CRAA or 16340/14500 will have the same 2/10/85 lm outputs as 1.2-1.7v NiMh/Alk/Li?

 

[BenChiew]

The output is regulated by the converter. You should not see differences in output. This applies to using different battery configurations in a certain LE.

There will be output difference if you compare between the 1.5v AA and the 3S CR123 lights.

 

[yoyoman]

^ Yes. My 3S has the same output if I use a CR123 lithium primary or 16340 li-ion. And the 3S has more output than the AA LE (even taking into account the different emitter).
