thingiverse

This is a do-it-yourself flashlight housing designed to hold the electronics and battery for your flashlight. It's scaled to mate directly with the fan connected to your LED heatsink and LED. You can check out my finished product in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8J-zPceQE8. To build this project, you'll need a few additional components: A buck converter to step down the battery voltage to 12V for the fan. You can find one at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Converter-1-25-36V-Step-down-Regulator-Voltage/dp/B074XRYC1M/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1521946510&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=buck+converter&psc=1&smid=A2TKGQERXRZT6A. A step-up module to convert the voltage to 34V for the LED.
