Hi everyone, first post here and need some info on a mod I want to do for a single purpose light. I have a 4 cell 123 power 3 led light that has a on off switch in the cap and a pressure switch as well. It is my understanding that the 4 123 batteries in series makes this a 12 volt system which brings about my first question. Can I run this light with power from a 12 volt car battery if I do not have the battery connected to the charging system of the vehicle? Next question is can I use a rotary dc dimmer to infinitely control the light output from 0% to full bright? The reason I would like to set up this way is because I have the 12 volt power to run other things and need reliable power for the duration of the night. The light itself will not be used at full power for this duration or even close for that matter.
Now for the light itself, it currently has 3 cree t6 led's (I think). I would like to know what mod I can make to improve the light output. What I am looking for is a light that will have a fairly tight beam and a useable distance of maybe 300 yards. optics are involved so I will be able to identify through them as well. In the past I have used a light force 170 with a 100 watt bulb and adjustable beam (great light but that thing is huge).
I have pictures and will post them ASAP
Thanks ws974
