My First Divelight

[odessa.dk]

First I want to say thanks for all the nice help I got from this Web site, to buildt my first Maglite dive light.
My Maglite is a 3 x P7 with 2 x ( 6volt 4,5 A Nimh) and a control to give me 2800mA. Reflector viewing angle 40.
There are two movies with 3 guys, we are 30M down and I brought some day light with me down under. The braightes light in the movies is my Maglite P7
It is a great divelight .
The movies is from today 08-11-2008 time 10am - 12am .Denmark

Congratulations. Great light.

Can you tell us some more details on how did you connect the P7's (serial, parallel). What driver did you used to drive three P7's?

Maybe you can share some schematics for the electrical part?
