While browsing the Internet I came upon this page where they talk about silicon liquid filled led light bulbs and was wondering if this technology could be used to cool and transfer the heat away from high power leds like the XHP 70, what do you all think?
Surely the liquid would have an effect on beam profile in the configuration for flashlights. And I bet that a small fan could shed more heat than the liquid. Seems the liquid is only as effective as the outer shells ability to dissipate the heat.
Also don’t know why they have included it in the 40w equivalent versions. Doesn’t seem necessary.
I actually have a liquid cooled flashlight. And it’s an easy mod, anyone can do it.
Turn on flashlight.
Wrap hand around flashlight.
Done.
Note: You must be alive for this to work. If your heart’s not beating, the cooling liquid’s not flowing. Zombies and vampires will need to seek out a different solution.
The problem I can foresee is heat expansion, the air bubble in that globe is there to stop the glass breaking due to heat expansion of the oil, air is easy to compress, oil not so much :student:
The bubble is ok for a light where it will not be seen or if seen at least be static, can you imagine a flashlight with a bubble wandering around the reflector :confounded:
Thinking out loud here, maybe use a small soft rubber ball (sealed) in the driver cavity to absorb the expansion pressure and make sure there is a flow path to inside the reflector :question:
Zombies likely won’t be able to install batteries in the first place, and i suspect vampires can get all the blood they want, though they may have to use it as an external cooling fluid.
