hi all
been building this light for too long other projects get in the way lol just to recap i started with a p7 dx flash light kd super p7 driver and a cannon camcorder 7.4v 6000mah battery pack plus charger so far i have about £44.i started with this just to see what it run like

it run way to hot so im at this stage now

much more mass so hopefully it should run cooler.

hi chaps
it got quite hot stood still walking at night it kept a constant temp but once you stood still again the temp rose quite fast so hopefully it should run cooler.but saying that now photonfantastic is selling 28mm reflectors so i might turn a new body as the reflector is 35mm with a 45mm id body.
