Evening all
I am posting here after some help for a light or a couple of lights I am building. I have a fabrication an joinery workshop, so fortunately I will be able to machine weld and generally fabricate everything myself. I am considering Bronze as a material to machine all the components from, because why not!
I am trying to build a Canister light to use while Scuba diving. The parameters I have outlined below:
3500-4000 Lumen
5000K
3.7V 26650 Batteries
2.5hr Runtime
Reed Switch
A few questions I have specifically, but I am really in need of general suggestions in regards to electronics.
What LED to use? A link to where to buy them preferably mounted to 1 MCPCB.
What driver to use?
How do I work out the number of batteries to use?
I want to use a reed switch to mean no further potential water ingress points, but I would also like to have it fully dimmable. I don't know if this is possible or where to go from here?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Cody
