    7ah SLA replacement

    Can I slap something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HWQ3JVM/?tag=cpf0b6-20 into a cheap 35watt HID spotlight to replace the 7ah SLA that I keep forgetting to charge until a month after I run it to cutoff voltage? It would be lighter and only twice the price of the SLA.

    Waterproof Heat Sink?

    Well I can tell you JB weld works incredibly. The IP67 tube strip I tested just laying on my carpet would get very HOT for the first several feet in minutes (then voltage drops and LED dim the longer the string) but I put it on the beam and it warms the beam and stays very cool even after on an...

    Waterproof Heat Sink?

    However much it takes. I bought a few "higher power" LED strip but the voltage drop over 5m has me thinking the ~30 watt strip are better. I will probably cut the 60 watt strips in half . Anyways, I'm running too many to use any expensive glue so was thinking Devcon or JB Weld or something...

    D Lithium rechgeable 3.7v 7500mah-Feeler...

    Dude a Triton Jr. could easily charge one in a hour or so. (1:15) and it costs ~70 bucks. So 2.5 hours total charging for a 2 cell light and 3.5 for a 3 cell. Not to bad. And those are only if you drain them empty, the most probably case is 50% remaining or more.

    eneloop at a real store?

    This lack of eneloops disturbs me. I hope consumers don't buy the old crap and squeeze the LSD out of the market.

    Surefire L1: still a great flashlight

    Surefire has yet to make a stinker LED since they first switched over to the TIR and LuxIII emittors. Might not be what you need but they are are very useful and tough.
