    Copper PCB in USA?

    For what it's worth, I just opened a package 10 SinkPAD mcpcb's (5-16 mm round, 5-20 mm stars) I ordered from ebay seller led-dna for $18.00 free shipping from Hong Kong. The punchline is: I paid 10-13, it was marked as shipped the 15th and arrived to day..... the 19th. That is lightning fast...

    Brightest, longest lasting G.I.T.D stickers?

    That is a very hot place for a a sticker of any kind. Try glow powder (Strontium aluminate) mixed with crystal clear epoxy. You may have to experiment with powder to epoxy ratio for the desired consistency and have a steady hand when applying your glow mixture. The 5 minute variety may dry too...

    7135 compatability

    I recently added mixed 350 and 380 chips to this AMC 8 X 1735 board because I didn't have enough 380's to get 6 amps for a quad XP-G2 I was building. I seems to work fine. Of course I did heatsink the board with a copper ring.

    Floody reflector for Maglite?

    You don't really need to do anything to the reflector. Put some diffusion film over the lens and you should be good to go. I bought some on the marketplace a couple years ago for my fusion 36 drop in (IIRC it was a couple bucks) and it worked great. It isn't permanent so if you don't like it...

    Dollar store 2 D flashlight converted to 200 lumen led

    I like transforming worthless lights into useful ones as well. You just have to know their limitations. Nice job!
  8. Q

    What's your EDC, Go-To, or favorite knife/knives?

    They both look top shelf to me! At work I EDC a Kershaw Chive, a gift from my son, because it is small and unobtrusive. Away from work, a Benchmade Bone Collector (3.5 inch blade). I have cut about everything imaginable with that D2 tool steel blade and it just keeps coming back for more.

    ModLight

    Re: Progress update Can you provide a link to the LED you will be using? After you get everything for your project fleshed out, a smart phone app to monitor cell health on the go would be extremely useful.

    Re: vinhnguyen54 Modding/Repair Helpline ... Get your answers here! :-) Hey Matt, I'm sure I am not the only one wondering where this driver came from. Who has these?

    Building my first Flashlight- Maglite 3D Upgrade...

    The only 2 AA to D battery adapters I've ever seen are parallel Everything adds up ok for a 8X 7135 driver, but with those cheap adapters (Multiple contact points), alkaline cells (Increased voltage sag), mag tail spring resistance, etc. might not be such a good thing. Techjunkie has done a lot...
