    New to forum, need help with VSS-3A

    :welcome: Nice find, did you get the military cables with it? Most of us made up our own cables after purchasing connectors. I have only seen a pic of the -3a mounted in a helicopter. A pedestal type mount i believe. I can dig up the pic if you don't find it in the the other tank light threads...

    Good aluminum case?

    I had decent luck on ebay finding a Halliburton Zero in good used condition for under a $100 w/shipping... A size large enough for 15 or 20 small to medium flashlights. Much fun to arrange everything and cut out the detailed shapes in Armaflex... Till I realized if I sold off anything I would...

    The faint laughter long gone, you now appear to be a prophet... Unfortunate that I have to bring that to your attention...:sigh: FM, with a couple chrome smo heads shipped, can we assume there is progress being made on the others, or were they an acceptable exception during another...

    Looking for AN/VSS-3

    I am noticing a pattern of VSS-3a per control box is a ratio of about 2 to 1, :shrug:, or in this case over 3 to 1.... Thinking of possible reasons for this.......:thinking: Many light assemblys manufactured as spares to begin with.... or.... At the end of their deployment, the light and...

    MAG BORING-I BUILT MY OWN MILL-PICT!

    I have to ask if your family looks on in bewilderment as you craft your device? Not understanding your flashlight hobby in the first place, much less the lengths you are willing to go to pursue your passion? Pay no attention as they huddle and whisper looking at you, as you have truly arrived...

    Is this how you HID owners change your tire?

    Oh gosh, let me explain it this way, my Costco HID visibly lit up the top of powerplant smokestack at 6/10ths of a mile.... ( satellite photo measured ) 3/4 mile is a common reference for throw on this light. The Illuminater has a smaller reflector, a little more flood, but should be good for...

    Sold/Expired PAYMENT/RESERVATION for the smallest regulated P4 light, E-Micro!

    Re: ANNOUNCING the smallest regulated P4 light, the all-new E-Micro. Will the 3.0v rechargeable CR2 keep the light engine happy? I'm always torn between the greater capacity of the primary cell vs. the guilt free rechargables. I hope for the option to run both, to accomodate my mood...
