New white LED inverter bulb

If you tell where to get one of these bulbs.
As I mentioned before I wanted to put 5 LEDs into it and a boost regulator (and at least two brightness settings, at least 1:4 apart).

It would be cool if someone put a regulator in this light, too...and even better, the ls-led! Is there not enough space?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

A (reflectorless) Lumiled will fit into it and a very small regulator, but you will only be able to drive the LED to some 200mA, maybe less. The heat will get trapped inside the housing (but thats only my estimation, experiments will show it).
The Lumiled with reflectors will fit into the MonoLith.

Strange. Can you give us the E1's size in numbers (don't have one here)? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sorry, I've never seen one outside of a photograph. I think Brock has one, and he would be the one to ask.

Hi, ummm, looking.... 3.25 inches x .8 inches it is 2.5oz in weight. If you ahve any of these light this photo might help

 

[The_LED_Museum]

hehehe... I don't have a single one of those.
Maybe you should set up your next photo shoot with a couple of the more common LEDs, like a Brinkmann, a Trek 3, and a Turtlelite.

Not the beams, just the flashlights on a table.

That M3 looks like it was ripped out of a plasma injector or an EPS relay on the Enterprise.

PICARD:
"Geordi, I need warp power, and I need it now!!"

GEORDI:
"I can't give it to you sir. Some bunghole tore all the M3's out of the warp plasma manifolds! I'm going to have to eject the core."

 

[Brock]

LOL ok Captain… the E1 is the third from the right in the front row in this shot, there has to be some in there you would recognize

Brock, I'm impressed. That's quite a collection. And I recognize some good stuff in there.

PeLu, the E1 dimensions are 81 mm long, 25 mm wide at the bezel end, 20 mm wide at the body.

I did manage to shoehorn an LS into an E1 with the lens, but it had to be ground down and the bezel drilled (reamed) out. Here is a link to some photos if interested:

Don't ask me why I did it. The upcoming ArcLS is bound to be better all around. And cheaper considering the new cost of an E1. I toyed with it as a challenge then I couldn't stop until I got it to work. But it does work well!

Sorry, that web link asks you to sign in. Let's try it this way:

I hope those worked. The last photo shows a comp of Arc aaa, eternalight x-ray, and E1 LS conversion.

Nice collection, and creative use of closet space.
Since I have no closets that big or with that much space in them, time to improvise.

Stupid shelving unit, DIGIMODIFY!!
(bang, bang, hammer, smash (oops), hammer, bang, bang, tappa tappa tappa...
And the deed is done.
Granted, two flashlights hold the infernal thing up, but it will do in a pinch.

*click* and there's the picture.
The guy at the Fotomat will probably **** his head all funny and think I'm some kind of weirdo when he sees this picture.

This is a "substantial majority" of my flashlight collection. It is not every flashlight I own. There are approximately two dozen more that either wouldn't fit the picture, or are "in use" and not available at the moment.
Many lights aren't clearly visible because they're behind other lights, or are too small for my POSMF camera to resolve properly.

One of the lights in here is a loaner, the rest are mine.

looks like someone will be cleaning up another mess at the next earthquake!
i can see the headlines now.
flashlight junkie buried under his collection.

That picture is rather deceptive.... on the lab PSU at lower left, the top meter movement you see in the picture is actually at eye level where I'm sitting. So if things atart to shake, rattle, & roll, I'll have about 150 flashlights coming down on top of me.

there's my blue baby, top shelf, on the right! hello darling, kitchy kitchy koo. (now get to work!) - but seriously Stingmon, feel like doing a run time test with the Action light using an alkaline D? ...Or leave that for Brock?

Thanks for giving civilized units .-)

Yes, you guys are right, 81mm is less than 70mm and 25mm is less than 22mm .-)

Craig's photo has the SplashLite in the foreground, so it looks much larger.

Has anybody now a SplashLite AND an inverter bulb? And where is a photo of the 3LED inverter bulb? And I think it is not a special LED, it looks more like a NSPW515BS.

Anyway, I would not try to change an E1 (as it is very expensive over here). Maybe to make a spotlight for my ActionLight out of it....

BTW, how waterproof is the E1 (or E2)?

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Stingmon, Brock, how about another set of group pics with all the flashlights turned ON?!

 

[Brock]

I too must admit, maybe 1/4 of mine have batteries in them. Just the really bright ones or the ones I use on a regular basis. I just wouldn't want to have to worry about a battery leaking in one of them.

I am not familiar with the term "maxim" but the toliet bowl was clean when I got it, and I disinfected it in the tub afterwards... and no FLASHLIGHT ended up being victimised by it.

Can I flush a dead fish down it?
Probably not.
Can I flush a Starlite down it?
Sure, i can try... but still no cigaret.
Can I wreck the toliet bowl?
Sure, if you give me a pack of M80's.

All of the ones that use lithium coin cells still have batteries in them. And most recent acquisitions still have batteries in them. But lights I've had for more than six or eight months have been emptied, so I won't wake up to a loud *BANG!* some morning, and find "bunny sh!t" inside some prized light. :-O

Most of these don't have batteries in them.
It would cost me my month's social security to feed every one of them, so this is the best I can do:

(If you can't tell, this is me kicking over a toliet bowl).

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

what can I say? touche? tushy? maybe; tilt!!! ..are you trying to recall that old maxim; "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bull----"?? I couldn't quite see into the bowl to check if my Action light was undergoing submersion testing..
