Looking for 3.7 volts

[Jakethedog]

Ok I know this is taboo but has anyone pulled 3.7 volts off of a 3cell and if you did what was the effects that you experenced as far as damaging the battery . What I'm trying to do is hook up 2 head lights on my phantom , I flew someone's that had lights on it and it was nice from a distance able to tell it was coming towards me real noticeable from along distance . I understand this is not the correct way to get the voltage that I need but I haven't found a bec that has low enough output voltage . And I don't really want to add another small battery for lights . The lowest I found is 5 volts and it blew the bulb fast it was bright but not for long can anyone help thanks guys

Why don't you just get lights that match the voltage you want to use. no need to reinvent the wheel.

you will need to buy a balance plug "Y" splitter to get 2 working ones

Because I haven't found a bright enough led that will support 11.1 volts and the light that I have choose are stream light super bright

Never one I found led lights at frys that absoutly rock super bright and are water proof and small all the things I could ask for and
They are 12 volts so here I go

Part #7250343 and there less than $6.00 this is for the white one it is very compact clean and durable splash proof and will work on 12 volts if needed . I'm very nurotic when it comes to stuff like this it has to look clean and professional it is a fault of mine I won't settle for wires and clips and glue every where it will bug me so bad that it will keep me up nights ha ha . I have mine attached to my gimble and works great I use it for orientation when a distance away I can't tell coming or going well when I see the lights it's pointing towards me even during the day . There was a guy at the feild that was using the strip lights LEDs and attached to the front and wow it was really noticeable coming towards you and it was visually appealing I will post a picture
