    Hi Raggie, I have been mere lurker here for a long time. You made me to post after a WHILE. I have never searched for a forum specialized on personal problems venting and I do not know if there is any. Maybe so. You probably can find anything on the net. This forum is devoted to speaking...

    How to remove AA glued LS emitter?

    greenled, you are a killer! I would not dare to do what you did. I screwed up one nice luxeon when prying from star with some blade. The black plastic part went off while the slug was still siting at the heatsink. Then I made a search and found the file/bending trick here in the forum. I wish...

    How to remove AA glued LS emitter?

    I was surprised seeing my old thread resurrected. I think you can do the same as when removing the emitter from star. Use small sharp file to make deep straight scratch on the other side of the emitter board and bent it then by two pliers along the scratch. The emitter *should* pop off...

    2AA pack for ARC4 available

    Very nice. I would buy one too. I would not mind bare aluminium finish if the price would be right.

    Bought twisty from JS Burly

    I think you can also make a type of two stage switch like that one that will go to Fire~Fly. There is a loooong thread about the switch for ARC LS. Just make it as thick as you need it. The space might become an advantage for you.

    How did you end up at CPF?

    Do not remember. It was or a search for led lights or through LED museum. Maybe it were both ways joined together at Craig site and I have been here since.
