• First Tests and next Iteration

  Sango • 10/29/2014 at 08:58 • 1 comment

  Well, after some short tests and now a little longer test last night i can put out some resume:

  + The Flashlight is bright and illuminates pretty good for example when doing something at night on the balcony etc.
  +/- the Battery holds up around 1 hour i would say. 240mAH 9V Rechargable.
  - The LEDs get hot, i knew that, but didn't expect them to melt the hotglue again, even with open lid

  So for the next iteration i will:

  - Use bright white LEDs not the warm white ones
  - i will somehow bolt the LEDs that the don't get loose because of the heat
  - Constant Current instead of constant Voltage.
  - And for that i might have to use 2x9V Blocks.....
  - i would like to add a charging mechanism, so that i can recharge the battery while it is plugged in.
  - Maybe i add a fan.... but that i would like to stay fanless....
  

  Maybe i need a bigger enclosure....

  When i would do this again, i would certainly clean and paint the mint box first. 

  Also there is no room for a cooling Fan, which i would like to add as well. For this, the Battery would have to go.
