Re: Surefire Hellfighter tear down and possible mods, LED? (lots of pics)
First off, I know many people will see this as blasphemy so my apologies a head of time
I went back and forth on making this a single source or a multi emitter setup. In the end I decided to go with quad setup to take up space, and because I could use the XP-L HIs for their punch. The LED board has been modified from work so I've blacked out some parts. I turned up a puck to both hold the LED board as well as transfer heat to the case.
I thought about putting some sort of internal battery but then decided to go with an external source for increased run time. It has a Mountain Electronics buck driver with two modes, about 200mA on low and 2A on high, I'd like to bump it up 2.5A but that's a project for another day.
Punches pretty hard, the tower in the picture is approximately 100m away. Still need to find a place to really test this thing out, somewhere that won't upset the neighbors.
Thoughts, feedback, ideas?
Thanks
