been playing with this setup for a bit now. The Wolf Eyes M100x with 3" turbo head takes a 12v lamp assembly, and 4 CR123 Lithium primaries. I was tired of burning thru 2 sets of batteries every night (thats about $30 a night :shakehead ) so i bought a few spare lamp assemblies and did the following:
I took 4 RCR123's and charged them up, measured the voltage: around 4.2 volts hot of the charger. I let them sit for a few minutes in my P1D Ce to bleed them off a bit. Installed them ito the WE M100x and fired it up yup, kinda expected that, but at least the bulbs are cheap.
ok try this again. Ordered a CR123 Dummy cell from AW (thanks man!). Installed it in the light, added three 3.6V Rcr123's charged up & bled down to 4 volts. (12 volts total)
there we go! :devil: nice bright light, looks just like a stock setup with primaries, and FREEEEEEE lumens. Have run it now thru 10 charge , discharge cycles, still on the same bulb.
thoguht ya'll might be interested. :wave:
