almost the 10 second lightshow then huh? Sounds very bad to me. Aren’t there any higher capacity smaller cells than the 18350/16340? They seem to be max 800ish mah?
Yea about 800mah max i think. Also the higher capacity you go the less likely you are to get a high drain cell 18350s are your best bet. You could also look into getting a boost driver and running a single 18650 but it wont be as bright.
yeah or make a small battery bank made of smaller batteries together.I made one battery out of 18650 lg s3 laptop cells, and put it in a big zoomy light, locked zoom for flood, 2x xml2’s in parallel.
I think the appeal of these smaller lights with big output is more for show then use. Its cool but not so practical.
Same goes with triples and quads.
This is why we have lights like the L6 and S70 or even your SRK big output and good run times.
yeah have some thinking to do now lol. I’ll keep trying different things I guess. Hey how about a 7x xhp50 skyray king?
You could always go with an Ultrafire F13 they fit 26650s so you can use 26350s they are half the size of 26650 and offer 2000mah capacity? I will also add i think the F13 fits your 22mm driver.
Hopefully some one reads this can can chime in on there run times they get from a small XHP50 flashlight?
Also check out the BLF driver boards people on here design driver and upload the schematics to OSH park so you can get the board printed and add the components. I have soldered 7135 in the past its not for me i dont have steady hands lol.
Type in BLF in the search.
