Im thinking I would just make a smaller battery pack for the strobe, as Im going to go with 12 volt strobe, and really dont want to send 14.4 volts into it.
Also, Im torn between going with a dual 20w and 10w or just going 2x20w with one spot and one flood, any suggestions? I have read most of the geekpages, but some are older and not sure what current thought is on the subject.
I have a lightbrain that works well. I use a 18v battery so the (14.4 or 15.6) version 12v cutoff and other protections are moot. I have multiple optronics housings with 20w and 35w bulbs. The 35w are mostly various degrees K Solux - whiter light.
My advice is to use 8 - 11 degrees for spot and 15 - 20 degrees for flood. The spillover on even a 8 degree spot takes care of the first 10 yards.
