Its always fun hacking stuff apart and forcing it to do what you want it to. :bigsmile: When the lumen bug bites, it sure bites hard… like this monstrosity I threw together. Review: 150 Million Candlepower Militay Xenon Arc Battlefield Illuminator (AN/VSS-3A)
Sure, you can use this thread to gain ideas from others and start another one for the actual build thread… its done all the time. Just make sure you have a pair of DMM’s to set the voltage and amps before you blow out your new LED’s. You’ll want to leave the DMM’s connected for at least one complete discharge cycle to observe the readings as cell voltage drops and emitter vF drops as it heats up. The driver you linked appears to be CV (one pot) and not CC. Do you know which? If not, you might want to post a separate thread to ask others for opinions. A CV driver is generally not advisable to power LED’s, although some get away with it. There are several converters that have both voltage and current pots, and some are advertised as CC only.
3D printing… dont even get me started! Ive already got far to many gadgets that take up all of my time, and that one would keep me up for days and day.
