Can you explain a little more how this would happen and how it triggers protection? To me if the bypass is loose there would still be current flow through the spring.
The bypass would not affect operation, and you clearly stated that you were using a flat top cell pulled from a laptop battery pack, no protection circuit on these. They tend to not be the most capable cell out there, but should still work fine even if not making as much output as a top cell.
Thank you Dale. I am following in your footsteps with a UV light build in this nice host. Will post details if I can get the thing working right. I wanted to start slow with a cruddy battery since I am not quite sure how the emitters will handle full power.
UV emitters are typically much lower voltage/current, like 700mW or 1000mW, so if you aren’t taking precaution to keep power level to their requirements you’re gonna blow 3 UV emitters in a big hurry.
I reviewed one of these and I am in contact with Dale comparing notes a lot of times also.
with everything as the light comes out of the box , I would say 8.5 to 9.5 amps would be a good average to expect from the included cell or a quality high drain cell.
Hello friend! Began to collect a flashlight sent from Sofirn and found that the electronic button does not have a free wheeling and is not pressed. That is, it stands in one, jammed position. What to do ? Where to buy a similar button? Maybe she understands? I wrote to the seller, I’ll see what answers.
That is some fine machining johnkey! Those switches can be found easily, I’m on my phone now but I will get you a link later.
Why did you choose for a TIR optic?
