Title: Xenon HID's help please
Post by: mv6copcar on 07 February 2009, 16:29:38
hi all. got a bit of time on me' hands and thought i'd have a play.

I've got a spare xenon/HID balast, and spare HID bulb.

also got one of those 250million million candle power torch things.
(can you see where this is going...?) :o

Looking to mount the bulb in the usual place in the torch, the ballast in the battery compartment and a cable leading to backpack where the battery will be housed.

What type of battery would i need to power the bulb/balast?
amp hour rate?
12v yes?
how long would the battery last (question relating to the type of battery i select and the max weight i know-but a rough guide)

Thanks all, and SORRY if it's in the wrong section.
