Price could be much lower :
you might already have a
Light Fixture with mount bolt or an appropriate battery .
The above 7.2 ah battery is used on the UPS and Stake Light .
Most of the time the battery is on the APC UPS ( dual purpose ) .
Stake Light is extensible .
"Stake Light" can accomadate almost any 12 volt light that has a mount bolt .
Examples :
O'Riely NVISION NV1073KB 4.5 amp 55 watt Halogen can run 4 hours on the 17 ah battery.
Walmart Alpena SpotFire 1.4 amp LED can run 12 hours on the 17 ah battery .
Using a 1.5 amp LED light fixture could triple the 55 watt run times.
( be aware of low voltage threshold, when using Switched LED light fixtures )
LED lights may have a low voltage threshold that might reduce
anticipated battery run time . Halogen filament bulbs can run
to extremely low battery voltage, though it may become very dim .
The String reinforces the plasic box to accomadate a heavy battery .
The 55 watt Halogen is a car headlight ( off road wide beam, about 40 yards )
The SpotFire LED is Bright White Spot\Flood light , with mount bracket
or
use a 12 volt HID Xenon car light fixture , that has a mount bolt .
or
any 12 volt LED work light that has a mount bolt or mount bracket with bolt.
Total flexability :
Choose the type of light you want :
Flood , Spot , car Headlight , LED , Halogen , Xenon
Choose a battery size for run-time that you want
I have extra batteries from UPS for dual purpose .
"Standby Use" for the ( UPS and Stake Light ) .
4.5 ah , 7.2 ah , 12 ah , 17 ah
A salvage 12 volt UPS will
"Charge and Maintain" SLA AGM 12 volt battery for the Stake Light .
The Dying World is full of salvage , new and used .
I could NOT find a manufactured flashlight that met my specifications .
My specifications were :
Extensible to use any 12 volt light fixture that has a mount bolt or mount bracket.
( swapable at any time )
Extensible to use a variety of battery sizes, physical size and amp hour rating.
( swapable at any time )
so,
I had to: DIM Do It Myself .
With optional UV light .
Give'em a tan they'll never forget .
When an Infected gets too close , use the Stake to take them out .
With Garlic Oil Infused wood , the Stake kills the Infected
twice as fast in Lab Simulations .
Never fear the Infected again . Never fear the Dark again .
Photos show Stake Light with "Booty Draw String Bag" , from sleeping bag case.
Photos show Stake Light with optional light Defuser ( 1 gal. water bottle )
No soldering . Roomy box size . No fixed size enclosure for the light .
The box can accomodate batteries up to CSB GP 1217 M5
7 inches tall , 6.5 inches wide, 3 inches thick .
This battery would lay flat , like a 3 inch thick slab .
The Infected are everywhere .
Power outages are more frequent than ever before .
Build your very own Stake Light and protect yourself
and loved ones .
