XHP question for modders.

Only realistic option is FET only. I'd use an SIR404DP, just a matter of voltage and amps using LIPO's - I got no experience with them, but thought high amp drones use LIPOs? Without buck or boost though, you are totally dependent on the performance of the cells.

I’ll try that FET I have some around.

The power density of RC LiPO/Li-ion packs can be much higher than the cylindrical cells we use. But the energy density is generally lower and they just don’t fit well in flashlights made for cylindrical cells.

I’m all for buck drivers, but it would need to pass 700+ watts to compete with the FET setup.

If the light is going to use 700+ watts then it will reach a few hundred degrees C within seconds making it pretty much useless.

Almost 800W if it hits the 5.2A per goal. :smiling_imp:

Bwaaahaaaaahaaaa, must have more power!! :disappointed:
