    double shooter R2 custom design

    What optics are those? I haven't found any decent 20mm optics that fit my dual R2 light (modded Cateye Double Shot).

    Looking for reflectors or optics for Cree XP-G

    If you want a 20mm triple with optics, the Cutter with Carclo optic is the only option I know. See here: http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut937 http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut861 However, as stated above, the 20mm triple XP-G is very floody even with the...

    Consequence of DD an XR-E R2 off an 18650?

    How bad would it be for the LED if I direct drive a single XR-E R2 off a single Li-Ion 18650. I'm sure it would be fine after the voltage settled but I'm a bit concerned about the initial hot off the charger running too high. It seemed ok for a few minutes but I didn't run it long. I really...

    If I put the driver in my battery pack, can I charge the pack through the driver output or do I need to run separate leads to charger the battery? Thanks

    CatEye HL-EL700RC Triple Shot - review & mod.

    Cateye uses 5.5 x 2.1 DC connectors. They have a twist lock molded connections so a bit nicer than standard but would still mate up with regular off the shelf connectors as well. The light head is the plug and the battery is the jack. I believe Cateye sells y-cables but not sure if the...

    L&M battery replacement

    You should be able to change cells to whatever you want as long as the voltage is approx the same. The third wire is for the thermister in the battery. They use this for charge termination for nickel based battery but I'm not sure for Li-Ion. But I've never been inside a L&M Li-Ion pack. I...

    soldering rechargerable batterys

    You can certainly do it for NiMH or NiCad but don't try with Li-Ion as you will melt the built in PTC fuse. For Li-Ion, get the tabbed cells or better yet, buy a complete pack with protection circuit built in.
