Phil's Latest Project

As most of you know, Phil likes to improve on electrical items with battery packs, like our home phone. Some of you have seen his hard hat that he added a light to the front and two batteries on the back. Well...here is the upgrade.



6x CR123 Lithium-ion Batteries connected in series-parallel to have a total of 8.0 volts


Nice and Bright The lights consist of (2) 3/4 copper plumbing caps bolted together, (4) remote control car tie rods to hold it up, and (2) 100 lumen output Cree Q4 LED's bolted into the copper caps. To top it all off, light is aimed with a pair of 8 degree optics The wire was supplied by a junk computer power supply(thanks Jonah)

Another Great PhilCo Product
