    When I was making the 30W flashlight, I thought there was no point in building a bigger and stronger one. Some time passed and as always, I was hungry for power.
    In 3 minutes and 50 seconds, of course, the LEDs were connected in series. Mistake in the subtitles

    Może w przyszłości coś bardziej skomplikowanego, jak np latarka z focusem? (ruchoma soczewka) albo coś super skomplikowanego jak połączenie latarki laserowej(LEP) z ledową, gdzie normalnie laserowa używa "pustego" punktu z fosforem który laser "wzbudza" dając super długi prawie na kilometr skupiony punkt światła, więc zamiast takiego pustego dać jakąś większą diodę LED z dużą powierzchnią fosforu i dać dwa tryby oświetlenia, długi z laserem i szeroki bez. Nikt jeszcze tego nie zrobił(komercyjnie) więc było by super zobaczyć czy da radę to zrobić :D

    Nice LED Light Build, but 45 Minutes Run Time Verses 3 Hours Charge Time Isn't very good in My Opinion. There are Circuits out there that could increase the Run Time, Mate. The Light needs a Run Time of at least 8 Hours for it to be considered a great Emergency or even a good Camping Light in my opinion. Maybe you should explore this further. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing your Skills with me. I do Appreciate it. One more thing before I go. What would be the price of this Light?

    That's a series circuit and the forward voltage for XHJP70s is 12.4V so your overall voltage requirement should be more like around 60v. Maybe you could massively increase the light output by just turning up your boost converter?

      So basically this flashlight will last him well over 20 years so long as he replaces the battery cells whenever they surpass 1500 charge cycles? Since under-driving LEDs extend their lifespan by a huge amount (and boost energy efficiency a bit too) as evidenced by the Dubai Lamp bulbs which use 4 times the LED strings but each runs at a quarter the regular voltage (with a voltage correcting mini power supply) and apparently has a lifespan over 10 times more than a regular bulb, so around 250k hours compared to the average 25k hours a normal LED bulb gets. So this flashlight will last longer battery-wise and overall lifespan-wise than if he used half as many LED chips and drove them at full power.
      Although thinking about it after seeing the product page, it seems that it can be configured on the PCB to run at 5.6V and 2100 mA or 11.2V and 1050 mA. Seems he might be using 5.6V at 2100 mA per cell, so 5.6V times 5 chips is 28 volts or nearly 59 watts. But that is the regular draw current, at 5.6V he can drive them up to 4.8 amps, so he's driving the chips at around 3560 mA each to achieve 100 watts of power draw, which means he's actually sacrificing LED lifespan by overdriving them and its likely the LED chips will burn out around the time the battery cells reach the end of their lifespan. So these chips with a regular lifespan of 50k hours would maybe get 10k hours at this overdrive level, or a little over a year if the flashlight were plugged in and left on without breaks. At likely usage levels those chips will last 4 to 5 years at my best guess, which should coincide with an average of 300 charge cycles of the battery cells per year, pushing the cells past their end-of-life cycle count of 1500. Although so long as he doesn't charge the battery above around 80 to 85 percent or discharge it below around 15 to 20 percent, the battery should then outlast the LED chips. Hopefully he's got variable brightness so those LEDs last longer.

    • @maciejnowakprojects
      @maciejnowakprojects  2 года назад +3

      These LEDs come in different versions: 3V, 6V and 12V. I chose 6V, connected them in series. Therefore, the total supply voltage is 30V

    • @ttonAb2
      @ttonAb2 2 года назад

      @@maciejnowakprojects you can drive them at higher voltages than 6v each and get quite a bit more lumens out of these. You can probably safely drive them at 8v each and cap the current at 12 amps... but I would be cautious without thermal regulation and your boost circuit might also overheat. Theoretically that would increase lumens at the led from ~3380 to ~7850.

    • @davadoff
      @davadoff Год назад

      If you wired the LEDs in parallel, you could eliminate the need for the boost converter completely 🤷‍♂️
      Voltage across those LEDs in parallel = 6v
      Voltage across four li-ion cells in series = 12v to 16.8v
