Sic output from a Shocker...

Last night, put in an IOS 3.5A driver in a Shocker, apparently
it goes direct drive - Hank eluded it may do that with 3 serial
batts, 3 serial LED's. So, I got XM-L2 U2 1A's/SinkPAD's, 20
gauge wire, all 5 carrier springs copper braided. With KP 3400's
not max charged, got 3.76A. Dropped in SONY 30 amp batts from
FT, got 5 amps!! So, in the light box -- 4,760 lumens @start,
4,461 lumens @30 secs, 215 kcd measured at 4.3m, but probably
240+ kcd real.
First time I actually felt a Shocker getting slightly warm. I'm
afraid to run it more than 1 min, and the SONY's would probably
last 15 mins at best, I'm thinking -- luv this hobby! :D

Ummm, too scared to keep it lit up that long with those SONY's
-- it's not my light and I'm wait'n to hear back from the owner
if this current setup is good to go. You know I used the same
driver in the Shocker I did for Justin (jmpaul320) but didn't
experiment much with it. Also, now I'm wondering, can't recall,
if I copper braided the + and - springs on his, because it made
a measured difference on this Shocker... So glad medium and low
modes still work nice.
This is ultimate insanity with this mod :o

Holy moly!
That's almost exactly TWICE what my NW Shocker makes.
I may need to upgrade....
