DIY Canisters For Sale

[350xfire]

I recently bought a lathe and have been making some canisters to sell for DIY project lights. These are full Delrin custom turned units with Agro glands, Nielsen Sessions latches and Anderson connectors for battery pack. If you have priced this stuff, you know this isn't cheap!!! They are built to hold 6- 18650 Lithium Ion batteries. The 18650 are rated at 3.7 volts and 2400mah. These can be used in series to direct drive an SSC P7 LED. I have done this on many lights without problems. You can also build a battery pack with 18650 in parallel/series config and use a driver.

Please note that Dive Rite and Salvo (no longer around) canisters will set you back $200 plus shipping. Also, it takes many hours to machine these canisters.

The canister on the right, I am selling for $75 as it is my first one and has some production mistakes that in no way hinder its performance.

The one on the left is the full production model with almost perfect features and I am selling for $100.

I also have a 6-18650 battery pack with charger that I will sell for $75.

These prices are all shipped and PayPal fees included.

Any questions feel free to ask. I will be making light heads, delrin spools and taking custom canister orders.

So what kind of burn time would I get if I put a DR 10W HID head on one of these? I've got one of the older MR11 6 degree heads that is great, but I'd like to get a can that is smaller than the wreck 1 and has a bit more burn time..

Thanks,
Mark

You'll have to build a 12V battery pack for the DR. I would probably have to build you something based on your dimensions for the battery pack. Six 18650 batteries are pretty small. I am using 2.5" OD Delrin. The final diameter ends up being about 2.4" once I smooth everything out. Inside diameter is 1/4" less as I leave 1/4" to screw the latches on. So ID = about 2" (may be a bit less). Also, overall height is about 9-9.5". You can put a battery pack that is about 6" (may be 6.5) in length in it.

The bigger the canister, the higher the price. Delrin usually goes for about $4-5 per foot for each 1/4" diameter you add plus machining time increases due to the extra boring. I can probably do up to 3.5" diameter. This would be pretty big. In comparison, a Salvo 24W LED can is 2 3/4" in diameter and fits a 12V 10ah battery.

This pack may work for your DR light application and it would fit in my can:

I actually put a similar pack in my buddy's 24W HID DR.

Just need to know what the draw rate of the light is to determine burn time.

can you add a toggle switch?

Here are some more pics of the finished production model. I will also include a set of Anderson connectors for the battery pack.

On the picture the connectors look like they are attached to very short wires. Rest assured they are long enough, about 3".

Thanks
