Flying at 1.2 volts

[TranquillityBase]

All the chatter, and new TSA rule about flying with extra Lithium batteries, has me in a panic:sweat:...Fly without extra batteries:mecry: OK, move over bacon...I'm flyin' at 1.2 volts

Here's a few members of my 1AA collection...

The latest lights are E/Aleph compatable...It's a bit of work, but the driver shown in the photo, can be fitted to both E-can, and the XR can.

Thanks Jeff!

The three level RV7 driver is awesome, smooth level changes, with a twisty tube or a switch. I haven't been able to make this 1.5v driver stumble. I had the same results, with the earlier four level beta driver...KISS

Those flashlights look mighty suspicious to me !


If i were a TSA inspector, i'd hafta' confiscate 'em ALL.

I have taken a liking to TB's machining, as well as the RV7 driver. The following chart shows output in milliamps on high with the RV7 driver:

Tranquil, most excellent work as usual! :bow:

Are there any more of these RV7 drivers to be had? I've been looking for a good 1.5V driver and wouldn't mind putting this one through the paces.

I have purchased 2 lots of these drivers from DealExtreme and they have the same output as the original RV7 driver. If I remember correctly RV7 confirmed that these are the same drivers.

Be aware that there are several diameters out there. The last batch I purchased where 17mm.
