im looking for a flashlight to put a 9V battery in. are there any cheap lights on DX that you think could?
thanks for any recomendations... :P
 





There are none. Flashlights are generally considered high-draw products and 9V batteries are not.
 
What you could do is you could search for flashlights powered by big batteries like D-cells or something, maybe a 9V would fit in those. :-/I would search for you , but DX just has so many flashlights and the search function is not really top notch :D
 
1.21" is the width (corner to corner) of a 9V I measured while the OD of a D battery is 1.31". So with some sort of adapter, it would fit.

We see what you're trying to achieve, lol. I can only find these.

This is not what you're looking for but it's cool. 8)

yes, not much more out there but those. I used and made many blueray lasers modifying circuit board and front end of this one

the other two are pain in the arss to work with because there is no space for any heat sink, and just taking the thick tight rubber jacked off is very painful.

good luck.
 
hmmm, i guess i can look for a D-cell flashlight then.
and il just pack it with foam to stop it ratttling 8-)

taken out of context for lulz

It'd be pretty awesome if you could get Mac of Mac's Custom's fame to make you a 1xD-Mag like this:

I'm sure he'll make a custom heatsink for you as well, he's good like that.
 
I know where you are coming from. I took an old Maglight D-Cell type and cut it down to just fit a 9 volt battery. I customed made a heatsink out of aluminum using a metal lathe and then drilled a hole to fit the Aixiz module. I used some foam around the battery to keep it from rattling. The blu-ray diode is putting out over 130 mW's and never gets warm. Right now the module is sticking out a little but this was so I could adjust the pot on Rckstr's driver. Anyway, i had the Maglight laying around so I cannalbilized it for this project. There is lots of room in side. Also, I wired the positive conection straight to the switch and the negative goes straight to the battery. Works great and looks kind of cool. Here are a couple of pictures...

;D ;D
Nice job on the maglite!
and it can crack a skull! [smiley=dankk2.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]
 
Holy Moly! :o I'd bet it never gets warm with that heatsink.I also imagine battery life isn't the best with a 9V battery and the driver set as ~130mA :-/

But yea, so much room and so much aluminum.You could build a triple RGV laser in that thing and still have unlimited duty cycle :D

Btw is that a G15 keyboard? :-/
 
Hey...that's a cool idea about putting a couple of more laser modules in there (RGB). I'll have to research that a little. Can 3 modules share the same power source or do you need a 3-way switch? The keyboard is a Saitek multi-media type, but the G-15 is sweet.

Someone here made a triple laser like that with dvd , phr diodes and a dx green module.They can use the same power source(batteries) as long as they have individual drivers,I believe.His main problem was that he didn't have a heatsink , only 3 small modules, made even smaller to fit into a MXDL so heatsinking was a big problem.I'll see if I can find the thread...
