Hi im not a member of candlepowerforums tried didn't work but im interested in ordering one of your lights is there a way to contact you via email or? Thanks have followed your builds amazing stuff talented
@jayrob94561 Ok, I agree the heatsink is different, though on the 310, it doesnt heat up so fast. Single reflector is perfect for focusing. The optics on the 310 are a source of loss in light intensity.
I compared it to a Fenix TK70, even on 930 lumens, the fenix shines well far brighter. So maybe 1000 lumens, but only at the leds and not outside...
Just FYI, I build these with a NiMH configuration as well. You can go with a 3 X NiMH set up. Or if you want a voltage monitor, you can use a 4 X NiMH and a 5 X NiMH, or even a Streamlight NiMH pack. All of those last 3 mentioned configurations can have a voltage monitor if desired...
The complete build is $129 (batteries not included)... Add $58 if you want the voltage monitor option. Message me at Candle Power Forums. (see my link in the video comments)
at 0:50 (just before the next sequence) when you lift the lamp, the ground is illuminated. so my question is: did you use an other light source to film this video...? thanks

@TerminatorFRA
Four things foremost:
* Massive custom heatsink
* Single reflector
* Voltage Monitor
* Li-Ion supply for run time

Voltage monitor, OK not bad. ;)
But I don't like so Li-ion in my case.

@jayrob94561 3 NIMH are the strict minimum, 4 is more comfortable. ;)
I have to agree though it seems it has a nice throw. Too bad maglite doesn't build really powerful led flashlights.

3 NiMH is just fine with the other driver options I have for a single cell Stubby version. (single cell Li-Ion, or 3 X NiMH)

No, the ground is illuminated from the spill of the light. The center spot is very bright, but it also has very bright side spill... :)
