Hi all,
I am looking to find a good dive light for me and while I (of course ) am aware that you at most times get what you pay for with dive lights, I am not willing to spend 1000+ bucks on a torch.. So I will have to find a compromise here.
What I'd like is a LED canister lamp with different light modes, burntime of minimum 90 Minutes at full throttle which is small and light and (yeah, I know, vain me ) looks good.
I am currently looking at the HOG Morph 1000 core light system http://www.edge-gear.com/MORPH-1000-CORE-LIGHT-SYSTEM-P116.aspx which does actually seems to be what I want with one exception. It has only 1000 Lumens.
The question at hand (and this is where I'd appreciate your oppinion and feedback) is: Would it be possible to upgrade the LED in this lamp to a more powerful one? Given that the battery pack is said to run for 6 hours at 1000 lumens I think this should powerwise be possible, but be advised that I am not too familiar with electronics (I know how to use a soldering iron though )
Has anyone by chance already done what I am thinking about, ie. upgraded the HOG Morph 1000 to be more powerful?
What would in your oppinion be a solution here? What would be needed?
Thanks in advance for your help and input!
Cheers,
Uli
