Been a browser here for a loge time, Have electronics background, machining skills, and a lathe. I have been interested in making my own red hunting lights for coyote hunting here in Wisconsin since I stumbled onto this forum. Based on recommendations I read here, I have decided to build 2 lights. One smaller for walking, and one larger for spotting.
Here is what I have/am thinking of using so far.
Small light: 1100ma A123 cells (qty?) 1W High dome Luxeon red LED, drivers? LFLEX, b2Flex, maxflex, others?
Larger unit, Emoly 26700 cells (qty?) 3W High dome Luxeon red LED, drivers? LFLEX, b2Flex, maxflex, others?
I have a few possible on hand choices for the host, am open to all recommendations especially drivers, cell configuration and reflector options. I have the listed batteries already, but don't have to utilize them. Also charging is not a concern, I have capable R/C based charging gear.
I'm a newbie here, so feel free to point me in the right direction.
