Very nice build, I like the packaging. But I still see some room for improvements: clear cover over the lens to keep bugs and stuff out, bug screens on the cooling vents, bigger cross-flow style CPU heatsink, and use R/C car or airplane battery packs for quick swap-out and using OTS chargers.

Wow, that looks really good! Especially the rounded cooling slots give it a professional feel. I like it!

3 years ago, I started messing around with 18650's. Not knowing my head from a hole in the ground, I build my first battery pack using the method for this build(6S3P). Recently, now with a little knowledge under my belt, I realized that pack was crap and it looked like it was made by a third-grader. Not to mention the cells I used should have been tossed, but it served it purpose and supplied me power for my small projects. 3 years later, and I kept remembering this 100watt led flashlight you made. So again, as I did 3 years ago, I will rebuild a better battery and this led flashlight. I will add the video to my KZread channel, and give props to you for the build idea!! Should be a better battery pack, considering I have done hundreds since then and built around 12 battery tab welders. The build is for my wife when she walks the dog outside...Thanks again for your neat builds!!!

Wow. I love the heat-shrink on the aluminum. I know you can get rubberized spray paint, but I'd bet the heat-shrink lasts longer. Very cool!

I like the stand you built of leftover pipe! I wish I had that idea earlier. The battery and the li-po checker is also very cool.

This is the best instructional video I've ever watched here. Thank you for your time and know how, and your simple yet thorough detail. I wish more folks could post videos like yours.

This is one of the BEST DIY videos Ive ever seen of the ones Ive viewed. Complete, speeds up the nitty gritty operations, explains what is being done and source of components. WELL DONE!!

That is honestly one of the most elegant DIY LED flashlights I've seen on KZread. Only thing I would personally change is to sacrifice a small amount of overall length to give the cooling fan a bit more breathing room; I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable having the circuitboards that close to the airflow of the fan, just from the standpoint of the fan not being able to move the maximum amount of air away from the heatsink. Gorgeous, though. Very well done.

The thermal paste was incorrectly applied though. It should be used WAAAY less, and you put a dot in the middle of the diode, not the heatsink, and then let the pressure flatten it out, which avoids trapping air bubbles.

Looks like there's a lot of flood, but I cannot see any distance. Perhaps you should consider changing the projector lens so it can give some throws. Good one!

Extremely helpful, perfectly integrated packaging!

Great job! I love the way you worked out the mounting of the components.

Dude... realy great job!!!! I'll try this myself! How long without recharging? PS: I DID SUBSCRIBED! You you earned for sure!

This is the best 100w led build I saw on KZread. I love it and I want to have 1, but I do not have ability and skill like you. I hate myself.

You my friend, have a gift that far exceeds the wonderful flashlight you were kind enough to share. An instructional video that flows so smoothly, perfect sequencing, just the right stuff at the right time, never overdone. I've watched thousands of diy Videos and rarely have I seen one that caters so well to the watcher. Your ability to understand the observers perspective could easily be overlooked. Simply because you make it appear so easy. You may be a genius. Thank you.

Bro, you did it again. I posted on your other video about the battery pack. This is exactly what I want to do with my 500w project. My concern is the amount of heat it'll create. I love your layout. I was thinking about everything you added even before I watched your vid. This is so complete and well done. I'm subbing. You're the man.

I think its cool if you can focus the beam

That is bright :D

guys, he is asking where exactly is the charging connector or if there is none, what is the exact procedure to charge them (i.e. open the assembly, take out the batteries etc.)

Why not use self tapping screws for the metalwork. Saves a lot of time tapping the metal parts.

Very impressive build - well thought out, laid out & constructed! Well done, in fact!

A real nice light. Will make one this winter when I have nothing to do. Keep the videos coming too.

Agreed, I'd like to have seen a finish faceplate covering the side area around the lens, perhaps doubling as a focus-plate with a second lens for tightening the beam. I'd also like a 3-way power switch, 1w, 10w & 100w.

Very very nice idea to put it in a PVC pipe.. Such a simple idea! :) Just a tip, when tapping, counter-rotate the tap every two turns to get rid of the stripped aluminium so your tap lasts longer.

You made me happy when you put the thermal paste on. I was about to die until then.

Very detailed constructional video. The assembly is truly sturdy and easy to make. Congrats!! The front lens is all open to wear and tear. A clear acrylic dome would be very protective.
