Flexible Light Project (3xSSC, BuckPuck)

[aileron]

The power's been particularly flaky lately, so I decided to make a light I could power from a wall wart or batteries.

The victims. Three Seoul stars and a 700ma BuckPuck.

Some tools- 25W soldering iron, teflon-coated wire, Arctic Alumina Thermal Epoxy, CRKT M16-01KZ.

All done, time to put my atrocious soldering skills to the test..

..with some AAs, as it seems my 12v wall wart has been kidnapped by ninjas.

I epoxied the stars so three IMS 27mm reflectors would fit nicely, but I don't think I'll use them.

Surprisingly, it seems to work well from the 10v those eneloops are delivering.
The buckpuck can take up to 32VDC, so many power sources can be used.

Now I have to find an enclosure.. any suggestions?

Any beamshots?

put them in mag 2D but u have to mod the mag switch.

I'll try to get some done with the IMS27s. Without them it's as you'd expect, the full 100+ degrees of even flood.

put them in mag 2D but u have to mod the mag switch.

The heatsink is far too large to fit in a stock mag head, as are the trio of 27mm reflectors. I'm working on a smaller version for my HA3 2D.

Maybe u can shim/trim the heatsink to make it fit the mag 2D.
Or get another HS that fit
