I couldn't stop laughing at the sequence he has to take to power up I thought he was powering up the death star! LOOL!

Nextime someone pulls out a mag light in road rage fashion, pull one of his units out! :laugh:

He certainly knows how to shed some light on the subject.

Not bad, he should of used the cree SMD LED's now they are impressive. Plus who uses mag lights?

Its all about the cree LED's that you see in the lenser torches, now they are amazing, I got a P7 one and they are used as gun lights etc... shows you how far LED's are coming along, all my G9 bulbs in the house are now 3d led variations, light output is brilliant and 5 of them only use 12w and no heat output like with conventional bulbs.

I don't like LED light for the home, it's a cold looking light.

I don't like LED light for the home, it's a cold looking light.

Depends on the temperature, I hate the yellow warm glow sodium gives off. I had 6500k-7000k which is considered day light, but it felt cold with a blue tint, made the white kitchen look like an operating theater or a clinic. I tried what they consider warm 3000k-3500k, which should be slightly yellowish, instead its a nice crisp white which I really enjoy and slowly this is what I have been adopting now.

Problem I was having with my Halogen G9's is they kept blowing out weekly due to vibrations from the local train station or the little one running around like a loon upstairs, so they where costing me a fortune, plus each bulbs 35w, LED G9's are bloody expensive but over the last months no problem, light out put is very close on the G9 variation to the real deal and at 2.4w a bulb you can't complain. But LED bulbs vary so much, such as I found the way GU10's are manufactured is, they are cheap to buy but the 3w claimed variations produce poor light, where the kitchen had 4 GU10 bulbs, the LED requirement would be double that in bulbs to produce a similar light. Plus the claimed max output is no where near what they claim on most LED bulbs, typically its about ~20% less from my experience.

Im sure with the help of some modern technology batteries and a low current HID striker an HID torch could be made.. and be better.

Infact i used to have a torch that had a car headlight bulb in it,  and if an HID kit uses less than a standard bulb... could i not DIY convert my torch?   :grin:

Still pi$$ poor, 24w @ 1750lumens = ~70L/w approx

Cree LED is 200 lumens a watt  :cool:

as said lenser torches are the way forward why use 500 led's when 7 can do a better job  :grin:

skip to 4 minutes

allready been done

my hand held  flood/ spotlight has a HID lamp in it,  found plenty of room round the back of the refelector to bung the ballast.    gave teh same treatment to hand torch to but that was more involved

i swear 90% of your posts are gibberish!!!  :grin:

Its not giberish, look up:

Lenser P7, Lenser is a torch manufacturer using cree LED's, its slowly what the police, army and prisons are using instead of the mag crap
Read up on Cree LED's and how much lumens per watt they use and cross reference is to various bulbs from xenons to various sized SMD LED's
Look up G9 LED Bulbs
Read up on the effects of why conventional halogen bulbs blow frequently, usually vibrations, and guess what the train station is outside my house.

That should keep you entertained  :grin:
