BORUIT Z001 meets the Beast Driver. The coat pocket torch I've always wanted.

Interesting… I think O-L is onto something with wire. He found he could reduce the gauge if the strands were less and thicker, getting the same output/amps. Also the silver coating could make a difference too. Interesting way to go - Teflon silver coated, maybe you got thicker strands - hugh help in reducing resistance and keeping a low profile.

I think OL mentioned that he did not think the silver plating made a difference, only the strand thickness. See his post #447 in the Oshpark Projects thread.

17 strand is a low strand count compared to regular silicone noodle wire, so definitely thicker.

EDIT: clearly Ouchyfoot said 19, not 17 - still a low strand count, so still thick strands. BTW nice work on all aspects of this light Ouchyfoot!
