    1955 Francis Searchlight - 400W Short Arc - Restomod

    Wow, polarli- I've been away for a loong time, just came back for a look around. But I had to log in and comment, because I think this is one of the best restorations I've ever seen! Great job- it looks fantastic! I love the super-power in a beautifully-restored cabinet, it's just fantastic...

    My new idea for more effecient white light, the RFR.

    sounds like a great idea, neondiod. I am unsure about the reflected beam- doesn't the Huygen's principle predict that the beam will be straight out the front as all the omnidirectional light emitted from each point of phosphor adds to the summated wavefront?

    Hey, creyc, great to see you found the torch. It's a bit of a time-warp to find an old L4!! Enjoy the new mod :)

    Luxeon T LEDs announced

    Really, Gunner12? Have you tried the Nichias at 4000-4500K? (which I think is a great CCT)- to each his own, I guess :)

    Looks good so far- can't see them in the store at Future, though.... And thanks for that pdf link- looks like the chip is 1.45x1.25mm in size?

    High CRI XML.....does it exist?

    One nice exception to the rule you sensibly described, RoGuE StreaK, is the Nichia 219 which is high-CRI but can be had in a nice 4000-4500K colour....I haven't seen any others that high in CRI

    Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **NEW BEAMSHOTS ADDED**

    Re: Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **Beamshots!!** Sorry, BVH, yes, it does flash each time, so I'm hopeful it's a power issue as you say- the power supply I used maxes out at only a few amps, so that may be the same problem...

    Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **NEW BEAMSHOTS ADDED**

    Re: Fire Foxes FF3 -- I Am Blown Away!! **Beamshots!!** Thanks BVH- I am charging some unprotected Panasonics now and waiting anxiously... The batt pack measures at 16.47 (unloaded) with the redilast cells, and I did try a power supply with the same outcome, but yes, I hope it's just the high...
