    Multi-Mode Incan Lights?

    Eveready made a 2-D cell Masterlite Spot-Flood from 1953-1957 using that 2-filament PR14 flange-base bulb shown in the above post. As you can see, the glass globe of the bulb looks like any other PR lamp but the base has 2 contacts instead of just one. The flashlight's slide switch has the...

    Tellurex tPOD candle-powered LED light

    Sorry for the delay in answering. After the unit warms up the voltage stabilizes at 3.5 Volts. I do not have a way to measure amperage. Kirk

    Tellurex tPOD candle-powered LED light

    Nesrad, There is only room for 1 candle, and Tellurex even warns their lamp may be damaged if you use a bigger candle. Kirk

    Tellurex tPOD candle-powered LED light

    Nesrad, One can easily read by this light. I can't measure the lumens, but it's a lot brighter than my Arc (5.5 lumens). If I had to guess, maybe 15 lumens. There are 18 3mm LEDs in the head, but they're not over-driven like most flashlights so each LED is not "blindingly" bright, but in total...

    Tellurex tPOD candle-powered LED light

    Crazyeddie, I've not had to use it in an emergency, but I have used it while trailering and it works very well. I placed it on the stove (the rubber base does get a bit warm) and it lit up the dinette more than enough to see what we were eating. Bring the light closer and reading is easy. The...

    Tellurex tPOD candle-powered LED light

    Greetings, I haven't visited nor posted on CPF for a couple of years and found it odd nobody has mentioned Tellurex's tPOD Enviro-Light. This "lantern" or "area light" runs on 1 tea candle that gives out more light than just the candle for about 3.5-4 hours. It's built well (I bought one) and it...

    Costco/Lumen Wireless Accent Lights

    I searched and searched before posting, so if these have already been mentioned, please delete this post. I found these lights at the Bakersfield Costco about 2 weeks ago. I don't have a camera handy, but this place sells roughly the same item. http://homestore3.com/luartofwiled.html...

    Pre-Photon Keychain Flashlight

    Back in the late '60s or early '70s I bought a "Photon"-size keychain flashlight that used a threaded-based "grain of wheat" bulb (think very tiny version of the #222 penlight bulb) and (I think) 1 mercury "hearing aid" battery. It was made of 2 red plastic halves that snapped together. To turn...

    Please help ID this dynamo

    Hi T90Jeep, According to Stuart Schneider's book, Collecting Flashlights (copyright 1996), your flashlight was made around 1920 and is/was worth about $50-$75. On page 82 of his book, he shows a catalog page from: Societe Anonyme ELECTRO-AUTOMATE La Chaux-de-Fonds Eclairage Electro-Automate...

    Orange Flashlights?

    Check out FlashlightsonLine. Also, do a Google search for MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) flashlights. Those have to be either yellow or orange. Kirk

    Pelican Flashlight to be on TV

    On Wednesday, January 13th, the Discovery Channel's "Factory Made" program will show how a Pelican 2410PL flashlight is made. The program is Episode 10. Showtimes vary by cable or satellite company. The company I work for sells Pelican products and this is from a Pelican distributor e-mail...

    A Short History of the Delta Electric Company

    I can't believe this thread is still going after almost 7 1/2 years! I think it's probably one of my first posts here on CPF. I haven't found too many decent Deltas in the past few years. Most are dented, corroded, and just generally beaten up. You folks have some nice lights. Let's see more! Kirk

    Bridgeport Metal Goods

    Bridgeport also used to make lipstick "twisty" tubes and the like. In fact, they stopped making flashlights and concentrated on lipstick stuff. Too bad they filed for Chapter 11 in 2004 and eventually went under. Kirk

    WWII Navy Battle Lantern

    Gordo, The Roflan lights are made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material, similar to Bakelite. Probably a phenolic of some kind. Kirk
