    70.2 head lamp.

    Has anyone tried one of these bike lights as a head torch or tested them? Comes with head band and states weight of 185g. I’m assuming that’s not including the battery pack. Don’t know how good it will be for the price but sometimes you can be surprised. At least you should get a couple of...

    Upgrade or modify existing Inova T4 (maybe both)????

    Pretty sure this is a pwm circuit. Can anyone confirm that? Does anyone know if you can make it pump out a bit more or swap another led into it?

    Drone torch

    😳 😳😳 And that’s why I posted. Thanks DIWdiver. I was reading your response and just went wow. As previously stated I have absolutely no idea and seeking guidance.

    Upgrade or modify existing Inova T4 (maybe both)????

    The torches I own all have the same reflector as the bottom torch in your pics. I measured the LED of the old torch and its about 2mm. The newer T4’s I own, have larger LED’s (closer to 3mm). In terms of drivers is it possible to put a different driver in it? Does it go between the emitter and...

    Thanks Yellow, Well here’s how I disassembled. Don’t touch the bezel retainging the glass. You only need touch that if the glass needs replacing. I cracked mine stuffing around trying to figure out how the lense came off. Remove rubber switch boot, it just flicks out. Undue the 2 torx...

    Drone torch

    Whoops. DJI Mavic Pro. Checked a couple of vids and it’s capable of a 1kg payload. That would abviously burn your motors,batteries and circuits real quick. If you aimed for 10/25%of that, you only get 100-250 grams not a lot to play with. Could use plastic reflectors with poly carbonate less or...

    Drone torch

    Hi all, Firstly I apologise for my lack of knowledge and the forum tag of “unenlightened” is well deserved, but I’m willing to learn. Project: create a powerful light to mount on a drone. Aka drone night sun. Considerations: weight is a major factor. The project needs to weigh as...

    Same boat. Are the below batteries worth the investment. Will be upgrading the inova t4 battery with it. Cheers Mat https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Panasonic-NCR-18650-B-3400mAh-Lithium-Li-Ion-Protected-Rechargeable-Battery/172466804403?hash=item2827d296b3:m:mNAUuRVdZcAX69chfmoVBkQ&var=471315379982
