Make sure both the battery's are not going flat.This light flickers and dies the same when the battery's are going flat. Make sure that the batteries are connected together in series to get 12v. Do not connect them in parallel because you will only get 6v and it won't work. You should really use rechargeable lead acid batteries or similar for this sort of thing because they handle more load and lantern batteries wont last very long at all.
I worked out that I needed to move the bulb back out of the reflector a bit. I made some c shaped washers and slid them in one by one between the bulb and the reflector until the beam was as small as I could get it. The original bulb was not an h7 so I had to do away with the original lamp holder altogether.
@transparent101 ~~ I made one and used an 18v LiOn battery, it really rocks and stays bright for a good long while, but if i leave it on more than a couple minutes my flashlight starts to melt
how many candlepower is it...it looks sweet....try making or buying a parabolic mirror reflector and see how it works.....does it need cooling from the hid?
According to mathematics it should last just over 22 minutes. My plan is to build another using a bigger torch with a bigger battery and the other ballast and lamp left over from the conversion kit. I just need to find a suitable torch for the job, all the ones I have found so far have really rubbish reflectors.
I have never tried it to be honest. I could only fit a 1.1ah battery in the housing so not very long I guess. I can't remember how to work the runtime out.
hi,
is h7 the best bulb to make the adaptation for this torch?

I tried to make one using two lantern batteries (6Vx2) but the light flickers then dies. What could be the problem?

Also, how do you focus the beam? I needed to adjust the position of my bulb to get it focused. How bout you?

Erm, any idea how many lumens would this torch be??
DarkDestiny98 2 years ago
I have no way of measuring it but according to Google that particular type of lamp gives off 2700 lumens.
