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 KZfaq 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!!!

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.

That is honestly one of the most elegant DIY LED flashlights I've seen on KZfaq. 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.
