    Portable Light

    I've been carrying the FourSeven MiniMLR2 for a year or so. Amazon has a good price. Disappears in my pocket. Good low, medium is perfect, high is blow-your-mind bright. Strobe, SOS, and beacon modes are there if you want/need them. CR2 batteries can be found online for around a buck each...

    Any led flashlight for girls?

    In ericabrinyte's words: "Beautiful." "I'll choose the pretty pink low-performance one rather than the ugly grey (sorry I don't like grey) high-performance one if I were she." "another pink one~~ pink is especially for girls." "Very impressed by its purple color,hahah... Light purple is for...

    Inexpensive little AA light Sipik68 & Clones.

    Thanks, RoGuE_StreaK. I ordered 10 black @ $3.37 and 10 silver @ $3.50. I really don't care about the color - just thought I'd see if there's any differences. The description says they have Cree Q5 LEDs, whatever that is. These will go to non-flashaholics, i.e., normal people, so if they work at...

    Inexpensive little AA light Sipik68 & Clones.

    So, at this point in time, where is the least expensive place to buy any version of this light? I see it on amazon for $3.60 with free shipping. Any better deals out there? I might buy 2 dozen or more for Christmas presents. Tapatalk via iPhone.

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    I've got invoice #1327. I just checked my email and found that I got my shipping notice yesterday! I'm in Texas, so I could see it today or tomorrow if it's shipping UPS. I'm celebrating tonight with a BLT and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I'll post my numbers from the certificate when I get it. As...

    Maglite beam pattern

    I like doughnuts, but not the Maglite kind, so I bought a Perlens off of fleabay for my old 4 D cell, non D-prefix Maglite ($19.85 with shipping). Search for it using "long range lens upgrade". It also works in my 2 & 3 D cell lights, but I've since put Fusion Showerheads in those. There is also...

    Incan Vanity Lights to LED

    Only speaking from personal experience - no theatrical background. We just experimented with a change from 8 CFLs to LEDs. Tried the Home Depot Cree LEDs. The 5000s were way too white (or cool). In the 2700s, the 60w eqvlnt were too bright. She ended up liking the 40watt eqvlnt. BTW, she puts on...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    I love the beam shots of the tower! Any tint, any aperture, any camera - I don't care! That's the coolest thing ever! However, let's get back to the important stuff. We have a local pig farmer (rancher(?) grower(?)) here in West Texas that markets some thick cut bacon and coarse-ground...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Dang it, donn_! You were on such a roll! I know art is a subjective matter, but I'm sorry - IMHO, "Heartlight" belongs with Debby Boone's drivel. But thanks for playing! Feel free to submit more suggestions! The first person to submit twenty QUALITY songs wins . . . um . . . the recipe for a...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Good collection - 'light' themed songs and all sung either by a blonde hottie or a former, used-to-be, wishes-she-still-was blonde hottie! Keep'em coming!

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Hadn't heard that one. I just listened to it, and then downloaded the whole album - great stuff and great suggestion! :rock:

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    #1327 here. I've been filling the emptiness created by the lack of a DEFT-X by listening to a playlist while eating my BLTs (actually, BLAT - I add avocado). Anybody got anything to add? (To the playlist, not the sandwich.) "Flashlight" - Parliment "Blinded by the Light" - Manfred Mann's Earth...

    Could/should the Cree LED light bulb be adapted for 12v use?

    I'm gonna pretend for a moment that I know something about electricity, so bear with me.:thinking: The voltage will have been converted to 120 to drive the bulb. My question is about efficiency. I already own all the stuff: the bulb, the plug-in socket adapter, the clamp lamp with...

    Could/should the Cree LED light bulb be adapted for 12v use?

    The Cree light bulbs available from Home Depot are 6 watts up to 9.5 watts. I put a 6 watt version into a plug-in light socket adapter and plugged it into a 12v-to-120v inverter in my truck. It appeared to be as bright as when I screwed it into a standard socket at home. My question is: Would...
