I\'m here ... with some pics of my Spotlight mod...

I’ve been a reader for about 2 years but never posted and then tried to register for about 3 weeks now.
Well after an arduous task of trying to register with aol.com E-mail I have made it with My SKYWLKR.com E-mail….

I do have some Spotlight mods for you guys to check out.

The donor was a the orange 1mil CP from Harbor freight that the charging and switching electronics died with in 30 sec of getting it.

It is now the Frankenstein you see here now.

12V 10amp hour, with an 110w H3 moded and you can still use the factory charger (although no over charging protection yet).

The moded light throws a much wider (I can position the beam either horizontal or vertical) and a lot farther. It's very much brighter... and the corona fills the back yard with light and the spot is huge.

I started light modding back in elementary school when I built a flash light from scratch (TP tube, and Christmas tree light and a slider switch I made and some bit's of wire) I made a bulb and battery from scratch too but the bulb was too bulky and required more juice than my home made battery could put out. so I had a 6V on the Home made bulb and another small bulb of unknown specs on the battery.

BTW I'm a High School teacher now so that'll give you the idea how long ago that was...

Nice work and Welcome! What a way to make a splash entry into the forum. Are those parallel 12V SLAs on the back of the one on the left?

yea 2 6V SLA's 5Amp hour each (edit: they are series 6V's to more accuratly answer your question and that would mean they are 5 total amps sorry;I feel depresed now I was thinking about when I had them hooked up a 6V in parallel on th eold bulb, oh well so much for my hour runs time 🙂), I ended up getting another orange (one pictured) and one of the 500,000 Cp water resitant lights and I put the 55w 6v bulb (from the moded orange) in the that one but am using the battery (it now throws a big curtain of light that'll fill a 1 acre yard).

BTW how much are replacment batt's?
