How to make a STEAMPUNK 35W Incandescent FLASHLIGHT | DIY Powerful Emergency Torch
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 03. 2021
- What's up, guys! This time we make a really cool-looking Steampunk/Retrofuturistic Incandescent Flashlight that's also quite practical as a rechargeable battery-driven emergency torch for when you have power-outs or in survival situations.
This torch emits light for about 40-60 minutes on a full charge.
The charger I use is a 12V 1A DC adapter and takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to fully charge the flashlight.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, share, and subscribe to my CZcams channel! Thanks!

Hey everyone! The comment section has finally been re-enabled over the whole channel after 2 years by CZcams themselves who shut it down in the first place. Glad to be in touch with my viewers again! :)
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ngl this looks like something from the backrooma
Hey, I am in the process of making the charging indicator but after finishing it it always shows red (used a usb c jack instead of a barrel jack), I tested it after connecting it to the usb charger and gradually dialling the potentiometer but it stays red
Hey there. Are you using the same transistor as I am? Have you tried connecting batteries of different voltages to trigger the green LED to light up? Maybe your resistor values are not matching. Please check your connections again as well.

The trial circuit I made to test the charging indicator, double checked all the components, only issue I can think of is I might have gotten the legs of the transistor mixed up (it's the same one as used by you, transistor label facing me , I think it's gonna be from left to right- reference, anode,cathode) request to take a look and let me know if you can spot any issues, nothing lights up now !
P.S. Thanks in advance!
Đèn sáng nhanh hết pin phải không bạn tôi đánh giá cao sáng chế của bạn
Đúng, mặc dù một lợi ích tích cực của việc sử dụng đèn Halogen mạnh là ánh sáng mà nó mang lại là ánh sáng tự nhiên, không gây hại cho mắt của chúng ta. Theo cách đó, nó tốt hơn so với đèn LED.
Cảm ơn bạn đã ủng hộ :)
Chính xác bạn ơi sáng sáng không gây hại cho mắt không như đèn led bay giờ ok bạn
Make sure you wipe the Halogen Bulb with Isopropyl Alcohol after touching the glass with your greasy hands, otherwise it reduces bulb life.
Also, since Halogen Bulbs are made of Quartz, they let through UV radiation.
Thanks for the advice! :)
can you make room heaters with those light bulbs? with a maximum current of 5 amperes of course
With enough of them around your room, I bet you can.
Used Pipe diameter ?
1½" Pipe
Is that led shows low battery voltage too?
Thats a light saber
Ok guys, that is not a incandescent bulb. ITS A HALOGEN.
2 things to know:
they get super hot.
don’t touch the bulb.
If you touched them, your finger oil can shorten the bulbs lifespan and it might not work.
Yes! Thanks for making others aware as well.
