Hi folks
What is the question and idea behind this thread?
I think everybody know the Dorcy 3D Lux I
A direct driven Lux I, 21h runtime to 50% and very cheap ( I think around $23), these are the facts.
The question is....who build a regulated Maglite with only ONE (of course I like the 4-6 emitter maglites with 600+ Lux output ) emitter/star with a runtime to around 24h full brightness???
I got three different ideas:
1. 3C/3D Maglite with Lux I/Lux III, driven at 350ma and 3 NiMh cells with 3.6V total voltage.
2. 2C Maglite with Lux V, driven at 700ma with 2 "C-cell shaped" 3.7V Li-Io from AW with 7.4V total voltage..
3. 6C/6D same like 2. only 6 NiMh cells with 7.2V total voltage.
I don´t know what heatsink (for Lux V), what reflector what regulation. I know nothing at all
If I could get a flat regulation like the 10h from the UK 4AA eLED, but only with 24h, would be awesome (of course not the eLED brightness ).
I hope someone already think about a very very very very long running Maglite with normal brightness (like the Dorcy 3D)
Thanks for help!
update:
After I saw the Electrolumens 3P (is this light regulated???) I change my point of view
A Lux III with two full regulated brightness modes would be THE THING
Around 35 Lumens at 350ma and 70 at 700ma with 48h and 24h full brightness runtime
I would pull the and button if Mr. Nobody would build such a nice circiut
