Should be 19th..When are you coming back from HK?
Yo Vincent -
you know of what kind of LED to buy?
How do I buy it?
I mean, do you just walk into simlim tower, and ask - uncle, I want your most powerful LED? Any ideas of the amp draw for these?
I like the maglight 2AA - but it seems to have only 1 LED inside?
Here are some specs - I have a 11.2 volt lithium polymer battery that powers my airplane.
I intend to mod it so that there's a 'searchlight' effect. With luck I'll put it on a RC helicopter too later on, so it'll become a 'police chopper'
That one LED in the MAG 2AA is sufficient to light up a big area, dont be fooled by its size. You can try SL tower B1, there is one shop with rows of LED to play with, and tell the uncle what you like. The MAG 2AA I have draws close to 1A at 3V. If you can get original Luxeon III LED would be great, they are brightest or the CREE emitters will also do fine. You also need a reflector to have the search light effect. By the way is your aircraft styrofoam type? Must have some space for another two AAA batteries in the plane.

Hi vincentlii,
I am really interested to modify my C4 touch to run LEDs. With your DIY knowledge, maybe you can help?
RC aircraft motors come in wide range of shapes and sizes, but they can run up to 10 amps or more. That gives us typically about 10 - 15 mins flying time.What is the current drawn by the motor? If you dont want to have additional batteries, connect the LED parallel to the motor and tap 0.4A from it. Connect a 22 ohm 3.5W resistor in series to the LED. Show us some pics of the mod. I have some LEDs if you need them and the reflectors too if you have trouble finding them.
So a 1 amp draw is not very big, but then not very small too. 0.4 amps seems more reasonable.
Don't worry about batteries, cos RC aircraft batteries can pump up to 10 - 60 amps at a go depending on the type, and can power your MAG2AA for 2 hours continously only.
It'll be really cool to have 'searchlights' on the group from 20 metres up! Perhaps I can then do my UFO hoaxes...
Good luck with the MOD

I think they have a LED head for C4..
Vincentlii,
Maybe we can have a outing when I comes back from HK...
OK we will have an outing. Can check the price of "e station BC 6"(brand) battery charger if you pass by any Radio control model hobby shops when u are in HK? Which hotel are u staying? Me going there also in November.

I think is HK$650+..I was there 2 years back and I got their card..So, this time I just call them..They have convention going on in HK and Guangzhou so hotel is very expensive..
seen a light saber yet? It can be found on the 4th floor game shop in Lot 1 at Choa Chu Kang. Collector's item.
can i join you all on the outing?? quite interested in the modifying torch...OK we will have an outing. Can check the price of "e station BC 6"(brand) battery charger if you pass by any Radio control model hobby shops when u are in HK? Which hotel are u staying? Me going there also in November.

haha... thanks!!
I have been looking at some stores on ebay for LEDs...they seem reasonably cheap.
What I don't understand is the unit mcd and lm. I understand lm is lumens....but how come some use lm and some lumens?
Can point me the website? I will try to interpret.
