Thrower for under 25 at DX ?
I am thinking of getting a nice thrower from DX. I haven't looked at the site for a while and I am sure some new, cool lights are out there right now.
can someone point me to a few kick butt lights, throw matters the most. It can be either led or xenon or space gas...
Re: Leatherman Monarch 500 ( 145 Lumens )
funny that you mention. I was dreaming last night about this very light. Not that I like it so much, or anything. ..In my dream I was in Costco, and picked up this light, thinking - yeah.. I wanted to check it out.. So I did.
If felt pretty good in...
The title says it all. All of us know how evil Spider Crickets are. Any ideas what flashlight would be bright enough to blind those scary *******s ?
( or maybe even to kill them with a beam of light ) ??:huh:
Nitroz - the setup you talk about will not give me enough lumens :whistle:
as I said, I do have access to cooper, tools and great thermal compound.
I want to push the Q5 to the limits on 2x18500s. ( since I can fit that in a shorter body )
I guess I have to look for a good circuit board that...
haha.. ok. So I guess it was naive to believe i can push 2 amps on Q5 ? I have access to copper and good Acrtic Silver compound, but again - I have never build a light myself ( or modded - if you will ), so I will trust you guys, that this is not doable for me at this momemnt.
Would you say...
thanks for the input. Still learning.. :) still researching..
Quick question - how much abuse in amps the Q5 can take ? I was looking at the board suggested by Gunner ( thanks again for all your help ) - here. Would this be possible my candidate to wire two of them to 2 x 18500 ? This way the...
hey saabluster, sorry I guess I missed that you can remove the extension and shove two 18500s to get 2 amps! Would I have to put the two circuit boards to get that output or could I wire that directly to the LED ? Also, would you recommend the lenses Gunner was talking about with this thrower ...
hey, welcome to the forum. I am sure lots of folks will help you out here. I suggest posting some pictures of the open Dorcy headlamp, so people would know what you are talking about.
good luck!
I guess I jsut don't like the double lenght of the Super Thrower. The smaller the better.. - I guess I like that approach.
But if this is not realistic to get 2 amps from one battery, what would be the best way of getting MAX brightness from WD-600 ? Would change of Q5 alone make a difference...

saabluster, do you think I could hook up the two .boards to one 16850 battery and still get this same amp output ? ( I know the runtime will be much shorter ) ?
I don't like the super thrower look that much. much rather the lights mentioned above ( either the WD-600 or WD-400 ).. so is it...
Re: Building a light with q5. Need advice.
hi Patriot36:
the avatar is freaky indeed. As old polish sayins says: "look at what you are afraid of.. and you will be scared even more." :eek:
Here is the list of things I am planning on getting:
1) BODY: WM-600
2) EMITTER: Cree Q5
3) EXTENSIONS...
