Hello TEG --


Welcome to CandlePowerForums !


:welcome:


Yep, you've already got "flashlight fever".


:p

Welcome to the forum. I'm fairly new to the forum also.

Just watch your budget! :crackup:
 
Hello TEG. Welcome to CPF. You've got a good start there, now ya just need some little pocket lights:grin2:

I've been eying that generic SSC P4 3D cell light you've got. Is there any chance you could post a few pics showing it's insides? I'd like to see how they mounted the LED and driver, as well as the switch assembly. I wanna see how easy it would be to mod.
 
:welcome: Watch out for the higher end lights because despite their higher prices they can really suck you in once you lay your hands on them. I think your collection might need some small single cell (AA or CR123) lights.:thumbsup:
 
Welcome to CPF, and what great lights you have! What is that big 12 volt spotlight? I have one like that and love it.

I suppose I have some of those too - in the car gloveboxes and such.
Here are a couple I just dug out:

That Inova is one with the very focused glass lense that produces a very narrow, very round spot:

Rudimentary machining quality but it gets the job done. I don't think there are any heat problems with the design.
 
What sort of modification would you want to make there?
SSC P7 instead of P4?

Maybe a P7. I have one on order from DX. I might just go with a good SSC LED and a new driver.
I'm just assuming the light won't have a good, high current driver based on my experiences with other eBay lights, but I could be pleasantly surprised.
I like side clickie lights, so I may go ahead and get one of these.
 
Collins Dynamics Magnum

I use that one when I am tired of it being night and want it to turn into day again!



Also, I got some new collapsible LED lanterns recently:

They are good for inside tents.


Nice lanterns!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the link, the Collins Magnum looks amazing!
My 12 volt spotlight has a 100 watt bulb too, and is very much like yours, I have the Brinkmann Max Million III. I love using it to light up huge 1/2 mile fields, far away trees, high rise buildings, etc.:D

If you are switching to the P7, you might want to see what driver or resistor the light uses. Also make sure that there is enough heatsinking.
