Light with hidden feature.

I bought one of these, and now I've taken out the extra 2 cell blanking plate, opened it up to remove the solder blobs and stuck the charge indicator label on the right way up it's pretty good. With 4 Samsung 3400 Ah cells it's been sat here on the brightest setting for 4 hours and only lost 1 blob of battery charge. IMprressive

They're all in parallel, so it's not really an issue. They'll just form one big battery.

I added a search link in the video description.

Possibly, but it actually draws the most current.

He makes it look so easy. I really should pop one of them off. If I do I'll do it on video with at least 10 microPauls of flux.

@ 6:28 mark: Is that jizz or the worlds most sorry ass thermal paste application job?

Cheers for that! I Already ordered one.

How cool is that 4-cell option? With the thing simply being paralleled you could run it as a one cell also. That is some versatility right there, and possibly a good reasont o modify the unit to take advantage of this and maybe have an optional higher current output for running or charging beefier things. As mentioned, 1 amp is okay, although 2 amps or more is creeping in fast it seems. Yeah, a really neat deice indeed! I'd get one but dammit man the clutter.

Tried looking for this on ebay but there quite a few identical looking ones but different power - 5W, 20W, 30W etc, zoomable and un-zoomable. Have you any more details to identify it?

John Carr

May be kinda relevant but I know when flying through china you can't take a battery pack with more than 10,000mAh capacity. There might be some kind of regulation on the max capacity of the parcel which made them block that off "to be safe"

I wonder if the 2 cells is to mitigate the risk of 4 badly matched cells and lack of BMS?

The Tinkering Shed

Great video. Could we have a link of where to buy, keywords etc?

Gadgetman

The world has gone mad i tell you... Airlines in particular . I cant even send a mobile for repair via the post. let alone order a light from overseas that contains batteries. Pity they arent as strict with their maintenance protocols and pilot competance review eh! Rant over

Phil Maddox

I wonder if the diffuse is for use as a tent light?

Clive, ever consider desoldering one of those ubiquitous 8-pin chips to see if there's an identifying mark on its belly using that hot air station? (Spoiler, of the less-than-ten I've desoldered, not once have I seen markings of any kind.) Just watch a few Louis Rossmann videos, apply a healthy amount of flux, and desoldering and resoldering should be a piece of cake (at least that's how it appears on YouTube.)
