So I want to build a 1AA light with a solid body. Kind of like the Fenix P1D CE Premium Q5.
I can buy the LxD series reflector from fenix-store.com. I can machine the body and head from 6061.
My question is about the electronics. I need help to understand what I need to build the LED assembly. Do I only need the LED, Driver and some sort of switch? How do I determine which ones to buy for a single AA set up that will give a one level output and good run time at around maybe 50-60 lumens? Or maybe a two level output of around 10-20 lumens and 60 or so.
I really like the looks of the Fenix LD10+ but it is way more complicated than I want. I want something simple without all the crazy functions. I do not need strobes, SOS, and 100 different levels of output. Plus I want to make one of my own design.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank
Greebe
