    The Nightsword project

    Came across this thread while searching headlamps (go figure?) my jaw dropped so far my cat looked at me funny. All I can say is: this is one hell of a thread to jump into the the incandescent/HID side of CPF. Are there any picture of the beat itself? ( too lazy to go through the whole thread)...

    AAA headlamp recommendation

    Yes, I know this topic has been rehashed MANY times, but can you guys give me your opinion on the best AAA headlamp. I was looking at the BD spot, or a generic energizer 5 led headlamp (top two). Also on my (growing) list is the PT Vizz, byte, and Fred (the last two I like because of the tiny...

    funny story

    That's pretty awesome (me has bad engrish today). I can't really think of a story to top that on the hilarity scale. My experiences with the power men (its over 9000!!) are pretty good, after Irene, we had a limb half attached to our tree, and the power guys were restoring and trimming trees...

    Drill to led (spot)light help

    I have a old ryobi HP961 9.6v drill, and it stopped working, so, I took it apart...:devil: From what I can tell, there is a driver in the drill that steps up the voltage to ~12 (+/- 1v) and the more you pull the trigger, the more amps you get. (while I was testing, I got my 1a 9v wall wart to...

    itp A3 eos questions

    so, a few questions regarding the a3 (r5 version): I have a small smudge on the emitter, any of you have that? I also have a noticeable green tint if I turn it on when my eyes have been accustomed to the darkness. Again, is that normal? I just ground down the keychain post so it could tail...

    nerf gun flashlight/laser mod

    you could always use lithium ion batteries, and no, they would most certainly not be for stealth use. :pops out of spider hole: "muahahahaha" (blast to the face with a strobe and a few rounds and then ducking back in) the P60 head idea sounds awesome... Red laser, red flashlight... I am...

    nerf gun flashlight/laser mod

    After I slept on the idea, I thought I could cannibalize an ITP A3 Eos head and wire a switch near the trigger with a battery pack in the handle. It would be relatively well heatsinked, to a point. And it comes out to around 200 Lumens on high with a lithium ion battery, so a 3.7 volt Li-ion...

    brightest 3/5 mm LED?

    This has been gone over many times, but I have not seen a new post within the past year, and with the rate LED's are advancing, I thought it would be good to ask this question again. what is the brightest 3 or 5 mm white LED out there you can buy? (other colors and sizes welcome)

    nerf gun flashlight/laser mod

    after rediscovering my nerf gun collection, I went about modifying them. a day later, I was browsing youtube for other modification ideas, when I came across a maverick with a custom laser sight in the body. The person was powering the laser with a 3 AA battery holder. Me being the flashaholic...
