    Some fun over Christmas and New Year holidays

    Lucca, How does the manual focus sytem work? My VB-50 i could keep on turning the bezel in the same direction, which would make the beam tighter/wider.. I cant workout how its achieved while staying waterproof.. Cheers GD

    XML Cute-3 Beam Shots

    Try polishing the bobbles of the cute optic, a bit of wet and dry paper to remove them first. Then polish with a mop or whatever its called..keep the speed down or you'll melt the optic.. I've not tried it yet but one of the guys has done it on another forum i read, and said that the beam is...

    Anodizing done the Flashoholic way

    Not saying your wrong..my kit instructions said to add the 2 litres of 30% to 3 litres of deionosed/distilled water. How are you going to prep your pieces to anodise? Good results depend on the preperation.. 1. I use wire wool and remove all machining marks, then polish to a mirror shine. 2...

    Anodizing done the Flashoholic way

    If you want a cheap power supply try using a pc PSU, I used a 580w PSU for the little housing in the pics above.. Just use the 12v rail on one of the molex connectors, yellow and black wires.. I now have a 15v 15 amp variable power supply that works fine..got it from a RC company for £40

    Anodizing done the Flashoholic way

    Where the ali wire is in contact with your part, these two contact points do not anodise.. that why its good pratice to jam the wire into a hole that wont be seen.. When the current stops flowing your part will not anodise any further... ie its finished :) All alloys have a limit in film...

    Anodizing done the Flashoholic way

    If you follow trouts link to the anodising thread you'll see how we have been doing it with great results... Once you get the results its kinda addictive, you start to make excuses to mill a housing just so you can anodise it :D Heres a few pics of the housings ive anodised at home in the...

    2000 Lumen Dive light - Sugesstions needed

    Fine for clear waters maybe, but if your blessed with merk like here in the UK..It's going to be useless. ledil quote ±9.5° on the datasheet, but on there list of optics they quote 19° I think your 10-12° is a bit ambitious..id would have said 20° but then i've not seen it under water :)

    2000 Lumen Dive light - Sugesstions needed

    Personally i dont think that the cute XML SS optic is suitable...great for a bike light look..but to much flood for a dive light. Why not just use a U2 bin and an aspheric and have just under 1000 lumens. Cree quote 975 @ 3amps for the U2 bin
