Them packs could be designed to power electronic stuff with tiny loads for weeks rather than a big load for a couple of hours, sounds that way if when you connect the lamp and turn it on the led on the batt dies.... Its circuitry wont allow it to draw that much current...i.e. Overloading it..... Only just a guess tho as i know fek all about your batt!!! Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 think you may be right f/d the wires aren't the thickest so that may be the case Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just looked on fleabay roy, it says powers cameras and electronics...... Think that they are designed for minimal loads mate.... There are other lithium ion batts on there for golf buggies and motor bikes that support larger current draws, way still really light and way cheaper than the deben packs..... Dont take it for granted that the one you have wont work tho, thats only from what little i know about them! Quote Link to post
redcharge 378 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Can you get any sort of red or Amber filter for the K50? Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 thanks f/d ...just thought it may have lit a car indicator bulb directly wired for a second or 2 ,but as i say only £20 so worth a punt Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I dont think so mate, they arent really designed for our game but they do do it well. Im sure if a lad was handy with a hacksaw and file you'd modify a lightforce filter to sit nicely into the head as there is a rim extending out past the glass on them. Quote Link to post

redcharge 378 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Been having a little read up on these notice on another forum they done a group buy and got a very good deal I wonder if anything could be sorted for the members on here? Quote Link to post

Tell you what, ive spoken to the sales rep alot before i bought my two and she emailed after that to see how i am getting on with them. Let stabba get and try his one and give his opinion on them. After that if there is still a bit of interest in them i will try get a deal on say 25 or 30 of them together and see what prices i get back if ye are interested, 6 Quote Link to post

Subject to hearing what stabba has to say, count me in on this. I still use a lead acid battery but I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for lugging that about. Had intended to buy myself a lithium battery, but having read this thread I'd rather go down the K50 road I reckon. 1 Quote Link to post
