God price bad colour temp :frowning:

Hi Aussies

I’m looking at buying some 10622 and 10621 optics from Cutter but feel I should add something else to the cart to make shipping worth it.

Any suggestions for a fun 12v or 240v LED project? They have a heap of interesting stuff but I don’t know where to start.

Something to pop into a Sofirn SC31 Pro? :stuck_out_tongue:

Haha

I was thinking upgrading the head lights on my ride on mower or doing lights under the coffee table or on a timer in the chicken pen to regulate their daytime hrs during winter and lay more…

I recently set up a new garage door light; the roller door motor light is weak as hell and doesn’t illuminate anything, so I got a 12V3A power pack, into a 12V photo sensor relay, then out to a 36V1A buck regulator, and out to 2x 36v Cree COBs on old CPU heat sinks. In parallel to that buck, out to a 5V3A stepdown to a laser pointer in a line, to line up on my steering wheel when I’m parked in the right spot :slight_smile:

Sure I can do it old school, but NO :slight_smile:

Haha that’s a cool build. I have a few 12v relays kicking around, need to get crafty…

Hey lads if you are after something cheap and cheerful check out the Coleman Divide +250 on a Amazon for around $8. Its a great light, well built and comes with batteries its a little on the bigger side but it should be able to with stand a beating if you give it to the kids. Its only got two modes so it should be easy for any one to use. They state 250 lumens but its brighter than that.

does anyone know where is the best place to get a good price on XPL-HI in Aus? Cutter want $9 each which is a bit rich imho.

Best way I found was to get the 4x MCPCB from intl outdoor with them, and reflow to remove. Doesn’t give many options, but it’s the cheapest way I found. $16.50USD for four, but then there’s postage (unless you buy a bunch and get free shipping).

Only has 6500K and 5000K at the moment.

But actually in Aus, cutter are about the only people with them.

What color temp are you looking for? I have 3xCW virtually unused on a triple MCPCB I’m happy to sell cheap + postage.

yeah i was looking at 4, they are going into a small light bar for my bike. thanks anyway.

25% code for the Sofirn IF22A at Amazon Australia is in this review. This is currently valid to the 25th April 2022.

Not sure if it’s a bargain but I like to source batteries locally, if I can.

I got 4 plus shipping to Melbourne for $66. They arrived with uniform 3.55V and measure ~13mΩ resistance.

This place is good too - they sell Samsung, Sony/ Murato, Molicel, Tesla etc. in mainly 18650 and 21700. Prices generally seem good compared to other options. https://www.tinkertechau.com.au/

My last two battery purchases have been from Tinkertech, and I can recommend them.

Join up on Olight’s website for Email updates. I received my second free light from them recently during the Black Friday sales.

So far I’ve got the i3 EOS AAA for free (well I paid $7.95 postage) and the second one was a free keyring rechargeable model- that was supposed to be for people that have purchased from them in the past. Somehow the previous free i3 EOS had clocked me as a previous buyer and I just paid postage for that second ( iTHX ) one too. They’re both really well made. I haven’t actually bought any lights off them at all- mainly due to most having the custom batteries.

I bought an Olight via Amazon (for a present) so qualified for the iTHX freebie as well.
There was another ‘free’ givaway for Christmas, an i3EOS in a snowflake design green.
Nice products but a bit expensive for me.
I think buying on Amazon includes postage which Olight charges $7.95 for orders less than $75
