Sold/Expired **SOLD** 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

I built 4 of these, one for me and three for co-workers. Then one of my co-workers after asking me to build this backed out. This is a bored 1D silver dimmable quad lux III w/ (4) TW0J emitters, (2) Fatman drivers, (1) UCL lens, (4) IMS 20 reflectors, PQS heatsink, and modamag's 4AA-1D holder. Asking $240 shipped anywhere in the cont. U.S.

Price dropped to $225. This is below cost w/ shipping on this light. I like it enough to keep it before I'll give it away :nana:

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

What is the drive current of the Fatman's currently set to?

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

very nice!

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

Drive current is set to 1000 mA when potentiometer is at max and adjustable from there down to about 20mA. Thanks for looking.

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

So you have 4 TWOJs running at 1000mAs?!?!?

Man that think has to be cranking some light out the front end.

What's your runtime like at full throttle? I might be interested in that baby.

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

Hi MSaxatilus,
Runtime will depend on the batteries. I have been using Energizer 2500 Nimh's and I think mine ran for about 35 minutes on high. On medium (referring to the pot location) it ran for just under 2 hours. If the light goes out at that setting just turn the pot down some and you'll gain almost infinite runtime.
Thanks,

Chris,

Can I ask you what kind of potentiometer you used? Is it water resistant?

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

Hi balazer,
Here is a link to the data sheet for the pot.
Thanks,

Re: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

this is an amazing light.. I want to use that same exact host for BAM! experimentation.. i bought 2 of them (one is going to be turned into a hotwire!).. do a bit of math.. 50-70 for the light... $44 for the drivers.. $20 for the reflectors.. $70 for the emitters.. 13 for the heatsink and $7 for the lens.. that's $204-224 raw material cost.. oh add another $6 for shipping.. dude's asking for $10 to $30 for the labor to build that awesome light.. hope somebody takes him up on it soon.

Hey Andrew, you forgot to add the cost of the 4AA-1D battery holder at about $16. This light is a great deal. I don't know how long I can hold out!

Re: FS: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

the $50-70 for the light was based on the fivemega 1D including the adapter i think.. i got my two in a 'trade' so i'm not sure exactly what they cost.

Re: FS: 1D Quad Lux w/ 4AA-1D adapter

awesomeness.. i've felt bad seeing this gem w/o a proper home! please post what you think of it maybe with some beamshots! with the ability to dim, it's incredible.. the fatman doesn't have 'built-in' low-voltage cutout but has a maximum current input that works to that end.. i.e.. to put out roughly 3.7x2W/driver.. it needs to pull about 8.22W from the batteries.. that measn 8.22/4.8V = 1.71A.. however.. as the battery voltage drops, the driver will pull more and more current to keep power constant.. but has a max of about 2.25A... so taking 8.22W/2.25A you get 3.65V.. and dividing that by 4 you get .91V.. a very acceptable 'drop dead' voltage for NiMH or NiCD... the reality is... it will probably start to dim well before 1V/cell so you will know the batts are dying it's a nice situation 'cause you don't want to over-drain the batts too much.. the really neat part is.. the extended runtime from dialing down the output is tremendous! Hope you like the light as much as i like my 4banger lux: http://rouse.com/RT4

Thanks everyone. Glad to see this find a home. I'll ship it this morning J_Oei.
