This is the best instructional video I've ever watched here. Thank you for your time and know how, and your simple yet thorough detail. I wish more folks could post videos like yours.
oi, montei como essa do video mas a minha ficou fraca . que sera que eu fiz de errado ? kkkkkkkkkkk facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1855595747787551&set=a.232886830058459.76888.100000114311309&type=3&theater
3 years ago, I started messing around with 18650's. Not knowing my head from a hole in the ground, I build my first battery pack using the method for this build(6S3P). Recently, now with a little knowledge under my belt, I realized that pack was crap and it looked like it was made by a third-grader. Not to mention the cells I used should have been tossed, but it served it purpose and supplied me power for my small projects. 3 years later, and I kept remembering this 100watt led flashlight you made. So again, as I did 3 years ago, I will rebuild a better battery and this led flashlight. I will add the video to my RUclips channel, and give props to you for the build idea!! Should be a better battery pack, considering I have done hundreds since then and built around 12 battery tab welders. The build is for my wife when she walks the dog outside...Thanks again for your neat builds!!!
This is one of the BEST DIY videos Ive ever seen of the ones Ive viewed. Complete, speeds up the nitty gritty operations, explains what is being done and source of components. WELL DONE!!
You my friend, have a gift that far exceeds the wonderful flashlight you were kind enough to share. An instructional video that flows so smoothly, perfect sequencing, just the right stuff at the right time, never overdone. I've watched thousands of diy Videos and rarely have I seen one that caters so well to the watcher. Your ability to understand the observers perspective could easily be overlooked. Simply because you make it appear so easy. You may be a genius. Thank you.
That is honestly one of the most elegant DIY LED flashlights I've seen on RUclips. Only thing I would personally change is to sacrifice a small amount of overall length to give the cooling fan a bit more breathing room; I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable having the circuitboards that close to the airflow of the fan, just from the standpoint of the fan not being able to move the maximum amount of air away from the heatsink. Gorgeous, though. Very well done.
I went to the 99 Cents store and bought four LED flashlights, tape them together into a round group and turn them one. $5 dollars project done in 1 minutes.
wow not at all what i was expecting, it looks like something i would actually pay good money for, great work! your camera angles when doing intricate work was a nice touch, many videos just say "ok now solder it" and theyll just leave a wide angle shot while they work and not showing where theyre actually soldering etc
Very well thought out and a gifted Engineer. Heat paste looked to be zinc oxide based but I understand diamond based heat conducting paste conducts heat much better.
Very nice build, I like the packaging. But I still see some room for improvements: clear cover over the lens to keep bugs and stuff out, bug screens on the cooling vents, bigger cross-flow style CPU heatsink, and use R/C car or airplane battery packs for quick swap-out and using OTS chargers.
Bro, you did it again. I posted on your other video about the battery pack. This is exactly what I want to do with my 500w project. My concern is the amount of heat it'll create. I love your layout. I was thinking about everything you added even before I watched your vid. This is so complete and well done. I'm subbing. You're the man.
You're incredibly resourceful mate, this video was awesome. I don't think I'll ever attempt this myself, but it was very interesting to watch you do it
Very very nice idea to put it in a PVC pipe.. Such a simple idea! :) Just a tip, when tapping, counter-rotate the tap every two turns to get rid of the stripped aluminium so your tap lasts longer.
Agreed, I'd like to have seen a finish faceplate covering the side area around the lens, perhaps doubling as a focus-plate with a second lens for tightening the beam. I'd also like a 3-way power switch, 1w, 10w & 100w.
Dude - You are awesome. I love your construction quality. Thanks for showing how crafting should be done. Attention to detail makes your work flawless. Awesome!
Wow this is such a clean build, taking time to make it look very nice I built one of these once with old rc batteries and just threw it into a small box with the led sticking out but it was nothing like this. You can frame this and leave it on your wall :)
Looks like there's a lot of flood, but I cannot see any distance. Perhaps you should consider changing the projector lens so it can give some throws. Good one!
Very detailed constructional video. The assembly is truly sturdy and easy to make. Congrats!! The front lens is all open to wear and tear. A clear acrylic dome would be very protective.
I like this thing, it resembles the body of a shark, and the vent slits you cut out are the shark's gills. It just needs some jaws around the bulb and a tail on the end and you'll have yourself a shark light!
guys, he is asking where exactly is the charging connector or if there is none, what is the exact procedure to charge them (i.e. open the assembly, take out the batteries etc.)
Perfect instructional, I am fully confident of my own ability to build this following your directions, although like many others I would make some modifications to suit my own needs, but that is the whole point of self built projects versus off the shelf, solid engineering, ingenuity in construction, too marks sir !
there are led drivers with build in dimmers via a pot... they are widely available on eBay.. led driver dimmer... look that up... done...! no thanks Urr welcome!
The only other thing I would do is give the pipe a coat of black spray paint,just so everything matches,but awesome stuff mate,cheers from Australia.🇦🇺👍
The thermal paste was incorrectly applied though. It should be used WAAAY less, and you put a dot in the middle of the diode, not the heatsink, and then let the pressure flatten it out, which avoids trapping air bubbles.
+k fro setted to 3 amps the led the batery pack has 6Ah preatty much close to 2h, less led britenes then the maximum will it get more hours from these bateries
+amokachi31 i made a 5x 100 watt led light it is ridiculous. I can light up my neighbours rooms through their windows from 100 meters away during night.
I really like your projects. You do a thorough job of making it not only function, but look nice as well! It's a pleasant change from the cheap looking junk a lot of DIY videos show.
this is 100w, you cant buy something like that (or oits very expensive) these types of lights are not for edc, they are used as worklights or searchlights
not really, if you need worklight regular flashlights suck, they have really narrow angle while this can provide lot wider, also if you use this in forest its really great since you can see everything
Looks awesome! I really like the pvc pipe idea for the housing! Great Job and Thanks! I'm thinking of doing something like this myself to make a few portable lights for video.
That is by far the coolest thing I've seen in along time and I've built n seen a lot of cool stuff I my life, that is one of the best. AWESOME JOB👍👏🏻🔦 Macgyver will be jealous
Great job! I was thinking, if you had left 4-5 inches of the tube in front of the LED and plate it with a reflective foil, it would focus the light slightly more and would prevent the spill of light on the sides.
on my project I'm using the Geronimo c36 gel type Prim Co 11 11 12 type conductor with a 34 amp chisel Chrome tip an adjustable dyrenium clad micro fuse typically run on a .76 alto frame in parallel conjunction.
Really impressive, and awesome design. I'd put something more at the front but I admit it's very cool having it bare as it is too. Ye got yerself a sub mister!
I'm really impressed! So much well crafted creative work! It is jaw-dropping strange that anyone could ever mark "thumb-down" for such perfect composed instruction movie as you did - but that is another story ;-) Keep up this great work, I'm at least following you now.
very good. but you should use some protective transparent cover in the front. and a small wire mesh over the vents to make it more secure and water resistant Nice project.!.
i was just gonna say: if you dont take out at night and show how bright it is, then this project did not happen. But then you did it hahaha good work my man
This is the best instructional video I've ever watched here. Thank you for your time and know how, and your simple yet thorough detail. I wish more folks could post videos like yours.
WelLRoundeDSquarE Completely agree. And I try, but I make videos in Portuguese. (I'm from Brazil.) :)

Wow. I love the heat-shrink on the aluminum. I know you can get rubberized spray paint, but I'd bet the heat-shrink lasts longer. Very cool!
This is one of the BEST DIY videos Ive ever seen of the ones Ive viewed. Complete, speeds up the nitty gritty operations, explains what is being done and source of components. WELL DONE!!
Wow, that looks really good! Especially the rounded cooling slots give it a professional feel. I like it!

I like the stand you built of leftover pipe! I wish I had that idea earlier. The battery and the li-po checker is also very cool.
Plz don't see any negative people comments and keep it up for all your positive subscriber...
I loved this torch...

2:01 dielectric grease is needed to prolong the life of the LED - aids in transferring heat
+2Truth4Liberty later in video I added it;)
Well Done Tips
Yes, at 2:01 you added it - i was just filling in the WHY you added it
Good job!
Would thermal paste made for PC components work? Such as Arctic Cooling MX-4.
Topias Salakka
Anything - as long as it transfers heat fast (way faster than air) and -- stays in place.
Give him a sec, he put it on after fitting the led, about 45 seconds later...

You are a genius. This video is amazing. You leave no stone unturned. I would pay for you to make me one of these. Congratulations!!
you should sell these, I would buy one for my father - he needs something like this in India :) well done, friend. God bless

I have one word for you - GENIUS !!!
Excellent construction techniques ! Your light looks as close to commercially produced as possible. Two thumbs UP ! Keep up the good work.
You're incredibly resourceful mate, this video was awesome. I don't think I'll ever attempt this myself, but it was very interesting to watch you do it
I want to know, Where is he from?
I need this
@AndroLoi There is no way a T6 led puts out 50000 lumens. It's a lie!
I was just going to type that because I have that one and a cree T6 1600 LM from gear best and the gear best is way brighter
Mr Perfectionist.............yes you are, very few people does things with such perfection
This is the best 100w led build I saw on RUclips. I love it and I want to have 1, but I do not have ability and skill like you. I hate myself.
+Calvin Nguyen "DIY Perks" have a better video in my opinion. he explain more and have all the links to the stuff in the video.
Very very nice idea to put it in a PVC pipe.. Such a simple idea! :) Just a tip, when tapping, counter-rotate the tap every two turns to get rid of the stripped aluminium so your tap lasts longer.
Extremely pro job, some paint and a face plate to hide the front connections and you could sell these things!!
Agreed, I'd like to have seen a finish faceplate covering the side area around the lens, perhaps doubling as a focus-plate with a second lens for tightening the beam.
I'd also like a 3-way power switch, 1w, 10w & 100w.

Cause you teach ppl how to DIY and they don't buy Surefire.

Why not use self tapping screws for the metalwork. Saves a lot of time tapping the metal parts.
I like this thing, it resembles the body of a shark, and the vent slits you cut out are the shark's gills. It just needs some jaws around the bulb and a tail on the end and you'll have yourself a shark light!
Dude... realy great job!!!! I'll try this myself! How long without recharging?
PS: I DID SUBSCRIBED! You you earned for sure!
Am I the only one that is in opinion ...this guy has some nice tools :)
how long it will run on those batteries and how do you charge them?
He's gotta learn somehow, bud
Wrong, if you don't know stuff you can't learn stuff. Everyone knows that.
Unerring 01 lol right. Everyone was born with everything they'll ever know
avin r Exactly.
guys, he is asking where exactly is the charging connector or if there is none, what is the exact procedure to charge them (i.e. open the assembly, take out the batteries etc.)
A real nice light. Will make one this winter when I have nothing to do. Keep the videos coming too.
Great project , great skills , well done :)
Perfect instructional, I am fully confident of my own ability to build this following your directions, although like many others I would make some modifications to suit my own needs, but that is the whole point of self built projects versus off the shelf, solid engineering, ingenuity in construction, too marks sir !
That is bright :D
Very good craftsmanship ! Way better than factory made. You didn't hold back on quality.
Veeeery amazing, your level of electronic knowledge is impressive. suscribing...
amazing , u work like a factory , its not easy to be perfect at all these details , bravo
what about mode selector? Like: Hi-mid-lo?
+Dmitry Lyashuk there is an option to install a dimmer and you'll have full brightness control. But at a moment - I don't need this option.
+Well Done Tips мужиг, ты кросавчег. Но мне кажется, им можно самолёты сбивать))
+Dmitry Lyashuk if you want a dimmer design look at "DIY Perks" video
How would you make a dimmer work with this driver. Im trying to put a light together using this driver.
there are led drivers with build in dimmers via a pot... they are widely available on eBay.. led driver dimmer... look that up... done...! no thanks Urr welcome!
It looks like it should belong on Peter Venkman's utility belt. Fantastic!
great design and build .
thanks
The only other thing I would do is give the pipe a coat of black spray paint,just so everything matches,but awesome stuff mate,cheers from Australia.🇦🇺👍
Nice job and very well presented -- thank you
The thermal paste was incorrectly applied though. It should be used WAAAY less, and you put a dot in the middle of the diode, not the heatsink, and then let the pressure flatten it out, which avoids trapping air bubbles.
Much better than anything you could buy.
Great video, how long will the batteries last.
+k fro this my homemade 22.2V and 6Ah battery pack is able to power up flashlight for 2h.
+k fro setted to 3 amps the led the batery pack has 6Ah preatty much close to 2h, less led britenes then the maximum will it get more hours from these bateries
no overheating problem?
Great video, and the best part for me was the heatshrink & the aluminum handle! Nice touch.
Scott x the same
I think its cool if you can focus the beam
that project is insane. just what I want to do in the summer holiday.
+amokachi31 i made a 5x 100 watt led light it is ridiculous. I can light up my neighbours rooms through their windows from 100 meters away during night.
Here is a easy tip: use self-tapping screws. :D
I really like your projects. You do a thorough job of making it not only function, but look nice as well! It's a pleasant change from the cheap looking junk a lot of DIY videos show.
I would have tried to make the housing (metal, not PVC) as part of the heat-sink. A fan consumes power
Are you the guy who thinks lithium batteries can't power electric motors?
Dude you should honestly sell these.
This was made better than anything on wish.
All you need is a better way to focus the light. You're losing a lot around the periphery.
Yea put a refltor thing around it
Very impressive build - well thought out, laid out & constructed! Well done, in fact!
How charge? Maybe made internal auto charger

surprisingly perfect electric work. very impressive.
Is there a website where I can order it?

The back was perfect. I liked the work very well
I would rather buy one
Expensive and no fun making it.
this is 100w, you cant buy something like that (or oits very expensive)
these types of lights are not for edc, they are used as worklights or searchlights
not really, if you need worklight regular flashlights suck, they have really narrow angle while this can provide lot wider, also if you use this in forest its really great since you can see everything
yea i highly doubt you found a 100w flashlight a lot smaller than this for 15 bucks
Have fun paying $300...
this is one of the best flashlight project l've ever seen on youtube!
awesome project! quite inspiring and I will add a tripod mount under the flash light so I can set it at a certain angle
Watching you guys make stuff like this impresses the hell out of me. Freaking geniuses
Very nice build. I found it quite...
_illuminating._
You should add a reflecting mirror to bundle the light. Good work!
Wonderful Piece of Art...
From a Genius Guy...
Very thoughtful,tidy job. Nice work! Thank you.
Wow man I'm extremely impressed with your craftsmanship!
Brilliant idea to build it all in a PVC pipe, and great video to show all the steps. It's inspired me to make one of my own now ;)

You an artist. And a great craftsman.
Wow... what's a perfectionist..... love from INDIA
Self-tapping screws, great vid mate
That is by far the coolest thing I've seen in along time and I've built n seen a lot of cool stuff I my life, that is one of the best. AWESOME JOB👍👏🏻🔦 Macgyver will be jealous
You made me happy when you put the thermal paste on. I was about to die until then.
Great job! I was thinking, if you had left 4-5 inches of the tube in front of the LED and plate it with a reflective foil, it would focus the light slightly more and would prevent the spill of light on the sides.
My compliments. Very well build.
Now a demo on how to charge those batteries while their in the flashlight!
on my project I'm using the Geronimo c36 gel type Prim Co 11 11 12 type conductor with a 34 amp chisel Chrome tip an adjustable dyrenium clad micro fuse typically run on a .76 alto frame in parallel conjunction.
Really impressive, and awesome design. I'd put something more at the front but I admit it's very cool having it bare as it is too. Ye got yerself a sub mister!
I'm really impressed!
So much well crafted creative work!
It is jaw-dropping strange that anyone could ever mark "thumb-down" for such perfect composed instruction movie as you did - but that is another story ;-)
Keep up this great work, I'm at least following you now.
very good. but you should use some protective transparent cover in the front. and a small wire mesh over the vents to make it more secure and water resistant Nice project.!.
Great workmanship - looks neat.
man!!! this is genius, well done and very professional.
i was just gonna say: if you dont take out at night and show how bright it is, then this project did not happen. But then you did it hahaha good work my man
I love seeing a well thought out quality build. Nice job.
I really like that kind of projects.
that was pretty smart using a dean's connector. it'll help with heat in the wires
