Having tested a couple of the little 10W rechargeable LED work lights, it seemed a good idea to take a look inside one of the bigger 20W ones too.

Here's a link to the light, although I wouldn't actually recommend it.

    It's impressive they didn't even have a PCB or actives(besides the protected cells)

    what a mess! maybe by adding a buck regulator you can make it better

    I have a 50w Rechargeable Portable Ul LED Floodlight

    With DC plug charger & Car Charger 12V Output: 8.4v

    Battery Type: Lithium-Ion Built-in Battery High power battery capacity 2200mah 8.4V

    I wish to adapt this light to take my Makita 18v – 5.0 Ah Battery. (as these charge within 20 min) Would i need to use a Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator? Or anything else? Sorry to appear vague,this area is not my specialty.

    I suppose you could fill the battery compartment with cells.

    I guess they supply a quite handsome frame etc so a great upgrade project to make a unit that works as well as it looks.

    when i tested the led the current draw was 6A from the battery which is strange i know 5A at 12v is 60w but at 6a is about 72w dissipation from the 30w led . and the chips was turning blue colour like when u overload a white led slightly when it goes slightly blue and i also tested it at low voltage and it was uneven illumination across the led package . so i just removed everything till one day i might rebuild it with current regulation ect as i paid just over £40 for it that time …..the chip is rated 30w 12v not the 36v version

    @ bigclivedotcom i have (King Canada KC-2401LED) got from the local gettin spot (glass was smashed and the company i work for wouldnt repair it) the driver also went bad (was probably me messing around with it but it was rated 120v ac- 24-36 v dc @ ~500 mA) it states it as 20w. im trying to repurpose it as a rechargable portable unit with 6 18650s in series then to a switch and up-converter (adjustable, because its pretty dim ran off of just the 18650 series battery.) can i use a 5v usb charging circuit to "trickle" charge it and should my powerswitch be before or after the up converter (im thinking before because it makes more sense).

    It's Chinese – end of story!

    What worries me more is that these people were supposed to be building our (UK) next generation of nuclear power stations – what corners might they cut on that project? No good fobbing us off with a capacitive dropper and a two colour LED on that one!!
    Oh, smaller battery than I expected, and the reactor vessel door is attached with two screws, cross threaded, and the gantry crane is only half the required capacity. No problem, they'll probably only refuel with new Plutonium rods about ten or twenty times in its lifespan.

    Yeah, Cheap is good . . . . . . . .
