HID torch searchlight with halogen torch

partyzancik 
Hello. I would like to present my xenon searchlight construction made of a poor quality halogen flashlight. The housing is provided by the CR2008S-1B flashlight, originally powered by a 6V 4Ah battery and a lit H3 6V 100W bulb, which instantly discharged the battery. The housing accommodates a 3s6p li-ion battery pack from used mole icr18650h cells with a capacity of 2.2Ah. It is protected with the PCM-L03S08-012 system against the rated discharge current of 7A, however, the current consumed at start-up does not turn off the plate. Measurements with the imax b6 charger showed a package capacity of over 10Ah, which would probably allow for 3 hours of uninterrupted work, but runtime tests are still ahead of me. The converter was mounted on the underside of the flashlight in the place on the fold-out foot. The burner was mounted in the place of the original bulb using spacers (to improve focusing and to prevent the burner from touching the glass, unfortunately the reflector is quite shallow). In addition, additional 5mm LEDs that were mounted in the front headlight and at the back of the flashlight in place of the red glass were removed. There is a socket for the charger balancer outside. The flashlight has a very wide spil due to the shallow reflector

What kind of light focus does this offer? Could use a voltage indicator on the battery and built-in sockets for connecting the charger and balancer. [Read more]

Hello, I have an identical reflector with a housing and I am wondering whether to use LEDs or to do something similar to your design. Write something more about the converter please - I suppose it is... [Read more]

The balancer socket is this plug (black cube) in the photo on the side with 4 cables, it just fits perfectly into the imax socket, as for the charging socket, I will probably put it in the place where... [Read more]

I also changed such a flashlight. The fact that the original bulb spoils the battery very quickly. I converted mine to LED, and in the housing H3. I left the diodes around, the middle diode is withdrawn... [Read more]

I also converted such a similar flashlight - only to a flat surface with live LEDs I screwed an aluminum module with a CREE 6W diode - real from the US :) (with a radiator thrown at the back, which would... [Read more]

Could a colleague write something about the burner and converter? Specifically, the type of burner and possibly a link to the store. I am planning to convert the "flashlight" jml2940 myself. Greetin... [Read more]

It can be hard with beamshots. In the evenings, the air in the area is not very clear. In addition, I noticed that the burner is not set well enough yet. In addition, there is not much space to move further... [Read more]

I tried it on stabilized power supplies and it worked on 18V - without damaging the LED. It was on for 3 hours. [Read more]

Well, I present a beamshot from about 25 m. http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/9523358700_1486929444_thumb.jpg The whole stain on the wall is a spot that, unfortunately, continues to diverge, and at the bottom,... [Read more]

bought a few years ago on site in the warehouse http://www.edensklep.pl/sklep/ and it was the cheapest burner matching the H1 bulb socket [Read more]

partyzancik 05 Apr 2017 22:22

and there was no problem with the LED heating? I connected to a charged battery a li-ion screwdriver (about 16.5 V) replacement for a H3 bulb with 9 5050 LEDs, after an hour-one and a half already one... [Read more]

As for the post above about LED replacements H1 / 3/7 - how did the author fit the toto in the flashlight? After all, functional diode replacements for the above-mentioned halogens, which are actually... [Read more]

Exactly such a bulb is extended in the plinth, because in the same position as it was - it was leaning against the glass. Retracted it diffuses the light better after the reflector. [Read more]
