My first 803T in 2 X AAA host

[rog8811]

My first 803T arrived yesterday (thanks SenKat), as my host flashlights from DX have not arrived I decided to use my tried and tested 2 X AAA host........

 

[rog8811]

It has a Rkcstr drive set at a conservative 95ma, and a small heatsink around the Aixiz module......
As well as the clicky on the tail end this one has a push button.....

 

[rog8811]

The front of the flashlight has the Aixiz lens fitted and will be flipped round the wrong way so that the focus sleeve covers the heatsink......

Here is the finished product.......

sounds like you have your work cut out for you Rog a bit of machining os a pushbutton and drill bit and lots of ingenuity and you'll have yourself  a clicky and momentary button blu-ray

(edit) the pics just finished loading looks like it already is set up with the button.

that looks great

What current are you running it at?

 

[rog8811]

It is running from 2 X 10440 @3.6v each so it is only just over the minimum voltage required for the Rkcstr drive but it smokes electrical tape instantly, is very easy to focus.

I used 2 batteries that had been in another blue ray for a couple of months so they were far from fully charged, once I have given them a boost I will try a match light.

As this is my first 803 I decided to set it at 95ma, it is plenty bright.

The focus is pin sharp close up but at the moment I seem to get quite a large dot over distance.

sorry, I just saw the current on the second post

 

[rog8811]

It lights red matches within 2 seconds.....(shutter went too early on this one, but you can see the smoke)

 

[rog8811]

cuts tape very quickly.......

 

[rog8811]

even in daylight you do not need much smoke to see the beam.....

 

[rog8811]

last one, I held it under the work bench over a smoking dog end to get a longer beam shot.....
