Re: Superlights shoot-out 2011: The Short Arcs
The past month I've been trying to reduce the overall size of the light by finding the best trade off in reducing air ducting sizes versus air pressure and fan power required for proper cooling. My tests look like a life support system. In additional to the ballast, ignitor, dc converter, fan, fan controller, three push switches, and a rocker switch, I've got hooked up three temperature probes, two differential air pressure probes, two air speed sensors, one air flow sensor, one lux meter, two volt meters, and one amp meter. My final testing is about complete, then I can finalize the design and send out CAD files for the molds to be made.
