PF10! Flashaholic Get Together: NJ, NY, PA, CT Area +

[cmacclel]

Ok everyone, help me out here. I want to update the announcement post and need to confirm some info.

I know Data brought the Data Bank.

I know Kenster gave away an awesome titanium McGizmo

Who else brought the lasers and stuff for the raffle?

What's the name of that electric thing Stan brings and every one wizzes around on?

And who was responsible for the Tank light? I think it was a collaboration between Radio, tvodrd and cmaccle?

Please help me out with these important updates, and feel free to add others. Thanks --Tim

I brought the lasers which where donated be Wickedlasers.
Radio and I brought the tank light courtesy of ShartArc.

Since both the Tank Light and Data Bank were mentioned, here is a picture of the shootout! ( I hope )

Will we see a rematch? Also, here is a photo of the Tank Light.

:thumbsup:

sledhead, thank you for that pic. I thought no one got a shot of this.

The tank light is the beam on the left. You are looking straight down the tank light beam. They are both aimed at the top of the ridge about a half mile away.

The tank light is projecting a half moon shape in this image ( look close and you can see the flat edge is horizontal across the bottom). Mac focused its beam wide to try to match the wide (non focusable) beam of the DB70. But in this pic it still appears tighter than the beam of the DB70. I remember that at one point he did make them about the same diameter beams. It may be that the DB70 was moving slightly in this pic as we were holding it by hand and pointing it around at will.

In any case the tank light was brighter and had better color.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks Dave! I was hoping that you'd be there again this time around. I missed out checking it out last time around.

You going to have any Spy007 type things to show off too?

The Subaru is kinda small.

Sam,
Do you want to smell like a sardine all day long? Remind me to use extra cologne!

Yeeaaah, glad it will be there again! It was my favorite 'light' at PF9. The picture doesn't do either the Tank Light or the DataBank70 justice. It makes the tree line look so close, and it was NOT close. Other lights with great throw barely lit the trees, those two really exposed it.

Ya but yours will fit in your backpack

Data, can we do a DB70 passaround before PF10? :naughty: oo:

 

[Data]

Ha, it only costs $55 to ship it UPS ground! LOL :tinfoil:

 

[milkyspit]

Just for giggles, thought I'd share a host that a customer provided for a nice little build... not sure it'll be ready for PF10 but here's a preview, heh heh... :naughty:

The entire piece is one solid hunk of aluminum... I get to fill in the rest. :sweat:

Working name for this build is the 'Loving Cup.' Shown next to an M6 for size comparison.

It is likely the light will use active cooling (Peltier junction, small fan and/or similar) and draw something on the order of hundreds of watts from the cells.
