The lights not quite finished yet and the parts are not polished but in the meantime I thought you may like to have a guess what light these parts will find there way onto. No clues as it will probably be easy to guess.
Edit 7.9.14 (9.7.14).
This light is pretty much finished now after lots of false hopes. My desire was that this would run an MTG-2 at around 5 amps from 8 AA batteries in series. This would give a run time of around 20 minutes on high. Unfortunately after blowing up 3 drivers I gave up on this idea and have settled for a 3amp driver which gives around 2.75 amps at the led. Run time on 2000 mAh Eneloops was a realistic 40 minutes while 2400 mAh LSD Turnigys gave 55 minutes. The batteries were charged in the same charger and tested straight away.
The parts that went into the light. I owe the guys doing the Oshpark designs a big thanks for the battery holder ends and the driver adapter as the pill was built for the 5 amp driver and the 3 amp driver was smaller in diameter so a reducer was used.
The outside of the head was threaded for the battery tube where the original fins were hence the gap between the threads.
The difference in size between the pills. The stock pill is on the right.
Because the battery tube is no longer threaded inside the head the pill can utilize the whole length of internal thread.
A close up of the difference where the battery tubes screw onto and into the heads on the stock and modded light.
The light compared to a stock light and a two x 26650 light.
Definitely not a ZY-T08. I dont own one. Do you have a spare?
It will be a single emitter powered by 8 x AA batterys. The led is undecided at this point in time. XML-2 or MTG-2. With the testing I've done an MTG-2 running at 5 amps will only run for 19 minutes.
I did PM Gj last night he had the correct answer. His answer was in the third post and my responce was in the fifth post. Its got me beat how he guessed it.
What do I put in it? An XML-2 at 5 amps which I'm guessing would be good on high for just over 35 minutes, same led at 3 amps or an MTG-2 at 3 amps for a run time on high of roughly 30 minutes?
