Most people think N Cell flashlight is too small, but if you are like me,
If you think N Cell flashlight is too big, then this mod is for you :laughing:
I haven't made a small flashlight for a while, busy pushing limits on big power flashlights. While waiting for parts to arrive for my MagDragon build, I made this tiny flashlight to kill some time on my July 4th holiday:
This flashlight is tiny but it's not one of those with 5mm led or Button cells.
Starting with Peak Baltic N-cell as Host, the "Before" shot:
(To the left is 1AA & To the right is the N-cell battery).
Since I've posted how to Cut-em-down many times, let's skip the unnecessary details & here is the finished light, The after Shot:
The Baltic N Cell has a Lux 3 power led, not 5mm leds as seen from similar sized Peak N-Cell Shasta:
It works, The 1/3 N cell is 3.3V & making it much brighter than running N-cell:
The finished light is 40mm long, ~1.5 inch.
Compare to some really popular small lights:
Left is Orb Raw (14250), Right is 4Seve's Mini CR2 (15266).
Next to it's big brother: Peak pacific CR2/SSC P4:
Beam shot: Left is Peak Baltic 1/3 N cell, Right is Peak Pacific CR2:
It throws a pretty tight beam for such small size.
I've read that the Baltic & Pacific use the same driver, so the out put difference is mostly from the leds Lux 3 vs. P4. The tiny light actually gets warm, hinting it's mighty current flow, which I thought is cute
.
Tiny battery Shoot out:
1/3 N Cell 10.5mm Long, Lithium Primary, 160mAH.
10180, 18mm long, Li-ion, 90mAH
10280, 28mm long, Li-ion, 180mAH
Joining my small flashlight family & earning instant respect,
it's the smallest power led flashlight in the family, just a hair taller than the Stream light Nano which is 5mm led runs on button cells:
