    Building Balanced Battery Pack

    Ah, so nice to bump into you here Lucca! That spot welder looks really interesting, I wish he were still selling it! Question, is there any reason not to build a balanced charging battery pack? I just haven't seen any and got to wondering if there might be a good reason. Ted

    Building Balanced Battery Pack

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to build a balanced battery pack for a can light (in this instance a Light Monkey Salvo HID). I plan to use 18650's. Thank you! Ted

    Safari Spotlight?

    Here's a follow up: To answer pertinax question, I was using the light from inside a car (for viewing, not hunting), and from inside rest camps. Due to price, size, and weight constraints, I chose a to go with the Trustfire Cree XM-L T6. I found that the battery life (18650 cells harvested...

    I suppose if I were to rate the important factors it would be as follows: 1. Cost 2. Size 3. Runtime If we go on a night drive the guide will have a spotlight, but he never shines it where I want to look!

    Chinese XM-L Headlamp, What do you think?

    I've thought this through a bit. The weight doesn't concern me, my current favorite uses 4AA's now. I use protected cells, so I doubt they're going to explode. I know nothing about the heat issue, so I won't comment on that. However, my biggest concern is the brightness. It's too easy to shine a...

    I have a 1 million cp spotlight. I'ts bright, and has good enough throw for me. It's just too big and heavy to take to Africa with me!

    Chinese XM-L Headlamp, What do you think?

    I don't know why they put a strobe mode on every single light! This one does have a medium setting, but as you say, no low. I wonder what the run time would be on those 2 18650's on medium.

    I've looked all over, and not seen any beam comparison's done between XM-L and HID lights. Has this been done? I'd be very interested to see!

    Any ideas how the Sky Ray would compare to a typical spotlight?
