So a few things have come up about RC helos and what not and Ive had this spot light in mind for a while now. Figured I show it off because I know there will be a few people interested.
Here's the whole set up. I zip tie a lot to thins thing so I can easily remove it in the future. Just added those screw terminals today to so I can easily access the main battery input on the outside.
Powered by two iDRV3s at 2.6A each. Heatsinked to IIRC a southbridge chip heatsink from an old PC. I know I could of gone for 6A and would have been fine but during my tests I decided this was as bright as I needed. Honestly its still too bright but is really neat.
Emitter. I left the stock lens on it. may remove it to get a little bit wider of a flood but when flying at 100feet or so this will give me a nice square on the ground 20'x20' or so.
Here's a short video. Wife has the camera and you can see here back away when I take off. (she hates this thing)
I wonder how many people will call this in saying aliens are abducting sheep in the fields
Thanks for nerding out with me!
