    Upping the power on a Star Shower Christmas laser light projector

    Eh, I bridged it as it was only a 20 ohm resistor. No difference.

    Upping the power on a Star Shower Christmas laser light projector

    Mine was pretty weak, I couldn't even see it in the house with the lights on. A friend of mine had one as well, and it was way brighter. So, out came the tools. There are 4 rubber plugs on the back, which cover tri-wing screws. The are way down in there, so using a tri-wing bit was out of the...

    Has anyone hacked the Ecosmart/Cree CR6?

    Those actually look pretty neat, and would help solve some of the problems I have right now because of the poor lighting layout since they actually protrude past the ceiling. Do any of your guys have these? The CRI is listed as 80, which is about what a CFL is. I had some Feit lights that had...

    Has anyone hacked the Ecosmart/Cree CR6?

    Code requires insulated cans here. Even if they weren't insulated, they have 18 inches of pink fiberglass blown on top of them. It would certainly be nice if they would elaborate a little on the packaging on what you can and cannot use these things in. They say not for use in an enclosed...

    Has anyone hacked the Ecosmart/Cree CR6?

    I should also point out that the LSG 18W PAR38's gave me 193 lux at 9 feet, and the Cree CR6 only gives about 43. But, the Cree diffuses the light quite a bit more in my kitchen, so the tops of my cabinets are actually 3 times brighter with the CR6 (as measured with the meter). I actually took...

    Has anyone hacked the Ecosmart/Cree CR6?

    The CR6 has multiple colors of LED's in it, and a sensor to keep it at 2700k as the bulb ages or if they use inconsistently colored LED's. The nice thing about this is that you can buy lights from multiple batches or years later and they should still all match in color. There was a rumor that...

    Outdoor Par38 flood light replacements in LED?

    Where did you hear about or see these? All of the CR6's I've seen and found are 575 lumens.

    Has anyone hacked the Ecosmart/Cree CR6?

    I saw one thread on it from last year where people were talking about attempting it, but it seems that no one has. I'm trying to figure out how to bump the power up a few watts. It's rated at 10.5 watts, but takes about 9. Supposedly it puts out 575 lumens at 2700k. Any ideas on how to...

    lifetime of geen laser diode

    I'm considering building a neat little project that uses a green laser in it (kind of an art project type thing). How long will a green diode from a Leadlight last if it's on 24 hours a day? Are there better green lasers out there that will last longer?

    normal operation of a green laser?

    I purchased a Leadlight from vitalspirit last week. I just got it yesterday as I was out of town all week. This thing is sweet, but I noticed something weird with it. When I first click it on, it's really bright for a brief instance, and then dims. But sometimes it's dim, and then gets...
