I did it guys!!!
I've modded my flashlight to have the smaller and most powerful flashlight! ....Ok, that's probably not a world record, but.... Can someone find better?!
I've started with a UltraFire WF-C6S, almost as small as a 18650
removed the led, put a XM-L T6
and then added the most powerful driver I found that could fit: KD 3040ma driver.
It wouldn't be this powerful without this lithium NiMn battery capable of delivering continuously 4.4 amps!
So, what all of this, I can get exactly 3000mA at the tail of the flashlight at max with about 20 min of runtime, 1000ma at med ( for 60 min) and 50ma at low (12 hour). The battery is rated 550 mah but last as long as my other li-ion 750 mah. The heat generated is not so bad, as it take 2 min to get hot, and after 7 min, temperature never goes higher than 55 C.
Theorically, this is a 1000 lumen flashlight!!! Right now, it's the day but as soon as it's dark outside, I'll go to take some pics and do comparaison of luminosity.
If someone can find a way to make one stronger or smaller, just tell me! Maybe with a XM-L U2? does anyone have info about this led?
