    OMAGAWD ! - OStar Maglight 2D

    Melchior - You've raised a common question with high power LEDs; what if it's cooled? While electronic coolers have been used with CPUs, I don't think it's a good solution for portable lighting. Remeber, even though one side of the cooler gets cold, the other side gets real hot. So there is...

    OMAGAWD ! - OStar Maglight 2D

    The heat impact on light output is much less than with a Luxeon V, as deplicted in this drawing: As you can see where I overlayed the OStar curve on the Luxeon V chart, at 100C the Luxeon has dropped 25% brightness and the OStar is down only about 10%. I've not found any numbers for life...

    OMAGAWD ! - OStar Maglight 2D

    Hi all, These really have some potential demonstrated during testing. While this is just a prototype running on my own home brew converter, when I get the Sharks from Wayne I'll do a runtime test. It looks like the Shark will push the efficiency up above 90% and probably not get as hot as this...

    OMAGAWD ! - OStar Maglight 2D

    This is a real eye burner. Lots more testing to do, but here's a beam shot of the little old barn 400+ feet away. Note that the tint is no where as blue as my camera made it out in the "light saber" wall shot in the first post. It really is a sunlight warm tint. Batteries not dead...

    OMAGAWD ! - OStar Maglight 2D

    We were lucky enough to score some 10 watt OStar LEDs and are in the process of testing a limited number of flashlights using these super bright LEDs. These will utilize the Dat2zip Shark converter to power the OStar from 6 or 8 NiMh AA cells. At last, HID brightness without a warm up...

    Sold/Expired Introducing the Pocket Illuminator - MiniPro Powered AAA Flashlight

    Ok, here's another Pocket Illuminator for sale: This is a Pewter 2AAA that has a gouge in the battery tube about the size of a grain of sand (I did it, the wrench slipped). But, to make up for that small cosmetic defect, this unit sports a BIN UXOK 3W Luxeon that is pure white. First "I'll...

    NIGHTGUY - I'm knee deep in the next Lambda project and have to spend some time on that before making more Pocket Illuminators anyway. Kevin, Could your "next Lambda project" possibly the long awaited Solitaire plug-in Nope, but those are supposed to be here any day. This new project is a...

    Sold/Expired Introducing the Pocket Illuminator - MiniPro Powered AAA Flashlight

    Hi All, I will order some more victims, er, host flashlights tonight. But, it will be a couple weeks before these will get finished; probably the week of 4th July. Things should not take too long as I already have the PCBs and heatsinks, just need the hosts to get started. I'm knee deep in...
