    AN/TVS-3 project

    It's been a pandemic-minute and I'm rather delinquent in updates... We now have a full web site for the TVS-3 project https://projectflashlight.org And, in keeping 10 of the TVS-3s alive, we're looking for: a machinist who can make coolant pump gears (milled from 1" 316L stock with obsolete...

    Batman searchlight for firehouse

    I have the Project Flashlight AN/TVS-3 searchlights (which have been to multiple SF events) - beams visible across the city and beyond. The batman logo is movie fiction, a logo you either need a projector or a lumographic lens, which is doable but quite expensive (likely $10k+) for what you're...

    1kW Xenon Arc Tank Light

    (Yeah, a bit delayed reply.) Fujikura (Formerly DDK) clones from Galco are significantly less expensive than Amphenol. jake-cutter has links in this post http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?92396-1kW-Xenon-Arc-Tank-Light&p=5162424&viewfull=1#post5162424

    Short Arc Lights-Help Me Find More Hi Wattage Military and Aviation Short Arc Lights

    You need an AN/TVS-3! And I happen to have 8 "extra" that need new homes. Amazing 30" reflector. I'll throw 12k/18k HMI parts for retrofit (240V/60Hz but not with the focus of a short-arc). You're the guy for the project!

    AN/TVS-3 project

    I'm selling off 8 of the military TVS-3 units I purchased originally, these are pretty rough and don't include the Xenon lamp or electronics but would be a great chassis and reflector to convert with an HMI or other modern lamp. I was originally planning to restore these or convert them, but I...

    AN/TVS-3 project

    I believe rhodium over electroformed nickel. Some of the reflectors are pretty rough, did some research when I first got them and didn't find any currently manufactured part I could easily adapt. So we cleaned up as much as possible, and live with the loss. But would love to replace a few of...

    Does anybody know where I can get a control box AN/VSS-3

    What a neat find! Will be interesting to see what the add-on unit is, some sort of detector or laser targeting? For the MS connectors I've been buying DDK clones from Galco, <1/2 the price of Amphenol. I use a Meanwell RSP-1500-27 to power my VSS-3, works well. My Lorain Flotrol 28V 100A...
