    Armytek c2 promax weird charging

    Thanks for the confirmation that I am not alone in this observation. I had run it on turbo for a bit, after many hours the night before at a comfortable reading level, firefly 2, I think, as well as experimenting with various brightnesses walking my dog, and assumed the battery had to be well...

    Armytek c2 promax weird charging

    I just got it a week ago. The second time I went to charge it, it did not want to respond. It would just indicate the battery was full with a solid green light , but I knew it was not, and a voltmeter confirmed it was not, @ 4.02 v. I tried a different USb source with teh same behavior My USB...

    HB2 at higher Voltage.

    I make use of a lot of voltage buckers or voltage boosters, and some combo boost/buck units. I use the buckers mostly for dimming interior LEDS or slowing ridiculously powerful computer fans to tolerable noise/ ampdraw/airflow levels. The voltage buckers I use have XL4005 or XL4015 chipsets...

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    I should have been a smidge more specific, this was not a VW Eurovan, that fried my mirrors with hideously inadequate LED drop ins and later were disabled by hitting a deer, but a later model year Euro style van, like the Sprinter or the Ford transit or the dodge/Fiat promaster, as opposed to...

    "80 watt" osram h7 bulbs

    I recorded the actual wattage drawn on three different H4 bulbs, and one sealed beam( Sylvania Silverstar h6054). I recorded wattages at different voltages, applied to their terminals, with an adjustable voltage power supply capable of 100 amps output. Most did not draw their rated wattage...

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    Recently drove cross country with my New Hella 7x5 dot's with Phillips Xtreme +130s denuded of blue banding installed, mostly after sundownt. I became more and more impressed with the reach of the low beams in the darkest stretches of road, and the high beams are easily the best I have ever...

    wattage consumed at different voltages. H4 bulbs

    I knew the bulbs are fragile going into it, I did take precautions.. One should also use lung protection. The amount of pressure required to strip the blue coating, is not significant. One will need some good reading glasses to see the tiny fine whisp of blue that is removed on the initial...

    wattage consumed at different voltages. H4 bulbs

    When I installed the second flosser in passenger side, I was disappointed that the Low beam focus and output was poorer than the Flosser installed on the driver's side. The high beam seemed to tag the same spot as the drivers side Flosser, with an intense hotspot.... Directly into the eyes of...

    wattage consumed at different voltages. H4 bulbs

    I have an adjustable voltage DC power supply which goes as low as 10.88 volts, as high as 15.56 volts, and has almost 100 amps available to seek and maintain the chosen voltage. It has a ten turn potentiometer to dial in voltage to 0.01v precisely. Its main use is as a mack daddy manual battery...

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    I can easily test wattage drawn at various voltages, but would collecting this data, get me any closer to knowing if my H4s Xv130s are counterfeit? the 100/90 phillips in your test moved the area of max intensity down and to the left on high beam. Do you surmise this occurs with other higher...

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    I bought my Philips H4 X-tremeVisions +130 on E bay, as I got irritated at Amazon, since I do not have a Prime membership anymore. I think they are counterfeit. The packaging they came in looks nothing like the picture Shown on Phillips site. Mine is a square coffin like packaging with the...

    "Moose Lights" options... Hella 4000 series?

    Black vs chrome housings, The black housings, with higher emissivity, should be able to shed heat better than the chrome housings. Will black vs chrome be able to keep the bulb cooler and perhaps extend its lifespan? Extend the life of the reflector? No idea. Can keeping a halogen bulb...
