"Dazzler" vomit inducing flashlight

[mrartillery]

Well that opens up a whole new can of worms so to speak, when overdriving superbulbs such as welch allyn, osram, phillips etc... the tint changes from a warm to more of a cool tint, between 5-6000k, but is still very nice! As you were talking about being easier on batteries, if you go with rechargables and a low amperage bulb such as the pelican 3854-L which only pulls a little over 2 amps, and when paired with a good strong Li-on's such as the IMR 26500's it will make for a good long runtime and is still pretty bright, around 800 lumens on a full charge with 2 26500's.

Other options to consider is the WA1185 or 1111, they use a little over 3a but still give you good runtime either on Nimh's or Li-ons. The options when it comes to incans are pretty much endless, id recommend starting here and research bulbs to see which suits you the best. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/179748

Lots of jargon in here I'm not quite familiar with X) I'm still new to the whole CPF thing and lack lots of vital electronics experience. Could you direct me on where I can get myself set up with the Pelican 3854-L setup and the IMR 26500's?

Lol sorry, you'll catch on quick i promise.

Be aware that this is the Hi and Low bulb and are completly interchangable, the hi puts out a lot of out put. This is the build commonly referred to as the ROP or Roar of the pelican, search for it youll find TONS of material. This however will prob be the easiest first build for you being that its a drop in bulb and doesnt require the bi-pin adapter. If you chose to do this with the IMR's youll need a bored 2 c mag to accommidate the cells, bein that these are a little larger than regular C cells.

If however you wanted to build it in D mag format you could use a 2D with one of Fivemega's 6aa adapters and 6 strong Nimh batteries such as Eneloops.

Adapter is here: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/244640


Also, i dont mean to throw more at you than you can handle at one time but you'll also need a aluminum reflector and a borofloat lens. My suggestion is take time and read through a lot of the threads and decide whats best for you.

I'm going to give the pelican a shot first =)

So to get this straight, for the Pelican mod, can I just buy it and stick it into my D cell mag (much like how the factory standard incandescent and LED bulbs are interchangeable) or would it require something non-reversable or the act of having to solder it in etc?

The bulb itself drops right in just like a factory lamp, totally reversable if you wanna go with something else.

Ok thanks for the information =)

So will this give me a nice bright output (better than the standard 100-200 lumen output of a factory Maglite LED? Not sure what their LEDs rate in at).

Yes, much better! I think you'll be very pleased.

Any quotes or estimates on how many lumens it is?

As soon as she said that it runs off of a "lead acid battery," I started to spew.

I think the demonstration of the Dazzler highlights the Placebo Effect (ie suggestion). Build anything unusual, and annoying, then tell the test subject he or she will develop nausea and vomiting. Bingo! After a few seconds they will have the symptoms. A few years later they will sue you because their life was never the same after it. Sonds familiar? I better stop here.
