    Fenix E0 dart RIP

    So I figured I'd disassemble the light, try to find the issue and possibly mod it. It has a lot of white epoxy and would take forever to remove. I started chipping some away and then just pushed the guts back into the head. I figured it wasn't worth the time. As I screwed the head on the body...

    Fenix E0 dart RIP

    So finally my trusty Fenix E0 died, Oct 07-Mar 13. I tried new batteries, cleaned everything and no luck :(. I think I bought it from 4sevens back in the day, doubt covered under warranty? Time to find a new replacement :D.

    New Thrunite Ti2 model - 3lm & 81lm

    So I ordered one to try out and I like it so far, beam is throwy. I am running an Energizer L92 aaa lithium. Below is a photo compared to a Fenix E01, Fenix E0, AA Eneloop and AAA L92. http://i.imgur.com/fTQq0.jpg On low it appears brighter than E0 but dimmer than E01, on high it blows both...

    Ikea dioder under cabinet LED reviews?

    Just as an update I ended up using them and worked very well, I then moved them and mounted them behind my LCD TV. They act as ambient lighting in the dark and work very well. It's been a year and no issu, granted I run them a couple of hours a week.

    Money savings from LED bulbs?

    Another thing is the efficiency of the bulb. I was comparing an old new CFL I had laying around to a brand new one. Old one is a Feit 15W using 250mA, 800 lumens and 6000 hour life. The new one is GE 13W using 180mA, 825 lumens and 8000 hour life. I picked up a box of 6 GE 13W CFLs for about...

    Money savings from LED bulbs?

    Intereating about cold weather, installed some CFLs outside in upright enclosures for family in Chicago. They've been in over 5 years and start up in single digit and lower temps. Don't remember the brand and were not special outdoor CFLs, surprised at people having issues. I swapped around 14...

    Money savings from LED bulbs?

    I actually unplug everything except for tv and fridge to avoid "idle" appliances from sucking juice.

    Money savings from LED bulbs?

    ITguy which LED bulbs are you using? I do have some "instant on" CFLs, but I feel they come on 90-95% and then reach one hundred. Some of my older ones(over 2 years old) take a few minutes which indeed sucks.

    Warm Bedlamp

    Check out the Ikea Tived, not too bright or dimmable though. I think consumes 3W and has a mount.

    Money savings from LED bulbs?

    After a lot of research here, Internet and stores I have decided to stick to CFLs now. Much better bang for the money for now. Unfortnately they aren't that great for the environment (mercury). Unless you do a custom LED setup, I don't think it's worth it. I can't wait for LEDs to catch up and...

    Need suggestions on lighting 40 x 50 Building with leds

    Perhaps some additional info would help. 1) What exactly are you trying to light? (is it a room? Outdoor area? Whole home?). I am confused by 40x50 building. 2) What is the purpose of lighting? General, safety, reading,cooking? 3) Budget? 4) Off the shelf or homemade solution? 5) Your location...

    Ikea dioder under cabinet LED reviews?

    I would like to install some LED lights under my cabinets. While looking I came across some random strips online and Ikea dioder. I searched and saw some old threads, how are they running for people who have been running them for a while? I plan to get a set of warm white and install...
