    Australian source for HID at last

    Yeah, that's why I put a long cable to my 7AH SLA in my backpack. Much nicer to carry. As for how much this one costs, that's about what mine cost in pieces. Oh well.

    Charged up the battery and it seems to be behaving fine now.

    I just multimetered up the battery, and it seems that it may not be the ballast overheating but the battery becoming too flat. It was flatter than I thought it should be. It started turning off after something like 5 minutes, and it couldn't possibly have been overheating, so I decided to check...

    I might have to dremel in some air holes, the ballast does overheat after a while...

    Just normal araldite. Don't think I left it long enough to dry. It just switched off. Yes, it's still working. It just annoys me that that energy is wasted...

    Australian source for HID at last

    I bought a "JohnLite NiteSearchEye" for $30 at the Battery Bar. After removing the somewhat bright 6v halogen, the black mountings, and the small 6V SLA, I glued a small ring to the back of the reflector, and then the plastic HID bulb base to the ring so it was spaced back. I removed the fins...

    Haven't bought the H4 spotlight yet. Jaycar seems to have a few assorted spotlights, I might buy a small one and fit this into it.

    You become a true FLASHAHOLIC when?

    When you arrive at the office and someone says "There's a package on your desk, but when I put it over there, it kept lighting up on the inside, what's in it?" (50 pack of photon clones from DX)

    Can you get solar power from an LED?

    Conservation of energy. If you have 10W of light coming out the front, and then capture it with a 100% efficient solar panel (impossible), you'll have 10W of power. The problem is, though, that you'll be able to use 0W of that light, as it's all going to recharge the battery. Hence this will not...

    Flashlight advice needed

    4000 is the best - it produces the most "white" light, and is the most visible. The higher temperatures look cool though...

    Dunno, I bought from Electus (Jaycar's wholesaler). But online is probably a good bet. Using an existing H4 spotlight... heh, makes it nice and easy.

    For Aussies - 1200 lasers caught

    "The fact that so many have been intercepted - an average of 150 a week since the ban came into effect - just goes to show why the ban was necessary." Love that quote. "We banned them, and people are still ordering them, so we were right in banning them"

    After Uni exams I'll take a better look. Bit busy at the moment.
