Hi
I've been browsing around this forum a few weeks now, after buying my first light (Led lenser power-chip). It's got a nice look and decent performance but then .......
I WANT MORE, GRRRRRRR.
Ive just got two problems. I'm rather low on funds and I live in Denmark, the country with nothing but old Surefires and diving lights.
Now I have decided that the only way (for now)to get a real "performer" is to build it myself.
I found a place which sells 5W Luxeons and somthing that looks like Fraen optics. I'm sure I'll find a way to make the body, but I need to find a small standard powerdriver too which I don't have to order from the US.
5W LS run 9V 700-750mA, right ??
It would be nice if I could use rechargeables without the whole thing ending up being too big.
Any suggestions for parts and other usefull tips ?
I know I can find a lot by browsing the forums but this makes it a bit easier for a total noob to survey.
I hope You'll spare a bit of goodies in this thread.
