Yet another direct-drive TWAK 2C Mag-Lite, 18650 Li-Ion powered
Howdy all,
I just finished my first Mag-Lite conversion, on a 2C. I used a TWAK Luxeon, HotLips heatsink and two 18650 Li-Ion cells (1800mAH each) in parallel. Only runs about 800mA direct-drive, so I must have a pretty high Vf on this emitter. Nice white color, and very even beam pattern.
I'm quite happy. I have some pics and more details here, if you're interested. I wrote the text on the following page for some of my friends who aren't "up" on LED technology, so most of you will already know most of this:
