280mA times 3.7V is 1.036W.Cyparagon said:I've got a few smaller DX lights and an aurora P7 (almost as bright as my headlights!). Nothing over $50 though.
[quote author=FireMyLaser link=1230868617/0#2 date=1230922571]The current is a bit low for 1W rated, only 280mA with [an 18650]

18650 li-ions are fairly easy to get for FREE !
The majority of laptops have these fitted. Keep your ears open for anyone getting new batteries or laptops that have no use for the old ones.
I've almost always found that a couple of cells won't take a charge but the rest tend to work
This man speaks the truth. I snatched 6 of the 9 that were present in an otherwise dead laptop battery.

The emitter is rated 1W. And should therefore be able to handle at least 350mA. I'm thinking about trying with two rcr123 cells.
