Hello everyone. I am obviously new to the forums, but I love what I am reading! What a wealth of knowledge and support!
Quick question on another (final) school project I am trying to figure out...let's say you wanted to build the brightest headlamp possible, in an inexpensive way, utilizing LED's as the light source (with a reflector). I would want my battery(s) to be able to sustain the LED's for 3-hours before I needed a recharge (if using gel cell). Or, if using standard over-the counter (throw away) batteries, I would still like the same 3-hour charge.
Which direction would you tend to go? LED choice, battery choice? BTW, I wasn't sure which section to post this question in, so if it needs to be somewhere else, my apologies. I look forward to your responses! Any answers would be a great help, since I need to start my construction ASAP.
Sincerely,
Gary Robertson
