Hey fellas,have a couple ?'s.
So... I've kind of been a flashlight geek for as long as I can remember but I'm just now finding out about this forum and the fact that people are modding flashlights and just doing some of the bad *** s*** you all are doing. Up until now I've always thought I was stuck with what I could find on the interwebs.
For the last few years every year in the spring for three or four months I search for some big mud leeches here in Ohio where I live, doing so I need a lot of lumens to last me most of the night, I've been using a fenix HM65 for the last couple years and it works really good as far as the beam being what I need, I basically use the spot on turbo and the flood on turbo so the full 1400 lumens all the time. I got about 3 hours out of the factory Phoenix battery and then I have about 10 backup 18650s that I carry with me of a lesser value brand that work pretty decent.
Few days ago I ended up ordering the ace beam h30 headlamp and got to use it for the first time a couple nights ago and the upgrade on lumens is great but obviously running it on high I only get a couple hours out of the original battery and don't have any backup batteries yet for the 21700, it was looking for new batteries for this light that I ended up finding this place and figuring out that you guys were doing mods.
So my question is what can be done for the Ace beam h30 to get Max lumens to run at the longest amount of time possible and what do you guys recommend for backup batteries? I read a little about the Samsung 40T possibly being a good backup battery at a better price than buying the full factory Acebeam replacements?
I'll post a couple of pics of my older fenix lights collection,and the two new Acebeam lights I just received. I welcome your alls criticism and recommendations as I am not nearly as educated as I thought I was on flashlights. Just reading some stuff in this forum the last couple nights has blown my mind on how much I don't know and how much more advanced the flashlight scene is, then I ever thought...
