Hi all!
New here, looking for some advice from experts , if you-all would help. I appreciate it! Nice forum you have here:]
I built these flashlights years ago (top drawing) and have been using them for 15 years or so..
The car high-beam lamps are of course power-hungry monsters though. Drawing 4+Amps, the charge lasts less than an hour.
Looking to replace the car lamp (leaving the battery/standoff/pvc handle& switch intact) with an LED assy for hopefully improved run-time of maybe 2-3 hours. I've done searches here, but it seems 12V flashlights with the output of a car headlight (bright-flood/ warm white) is sorta hard to find. I come from an electronics/lasers background so I'm familiar with photon emitting electronic devices. Any help is muchly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
