Al, if this " [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]" of yours means that you know something we mortals do not know ... well ... this would be ... just as usual.

300 lumens, that cant last long, but u could probably take on a bear w/ that beast

Mr. Pirela is NO joke. I am a knife guy, and all of his blades are sold before they are even built. His designs always become reality. The pics just show what is coming next. I own 1 of his Lightfoot folders andat is getting really lucky! You need to order months or even a year ahead.

Projector beam lens? I just had one in my hand last night (it's at home now, I'm at work) that is mounted on an eighty year-old brass 3D flashlight -- given to me recently by a kind CPF'er, I've been admiring it for its old-style construction (mostly a lot of thin curved/folded/bent brass sheetmetal) and its apparent collectability, but now I will have to try shining a bare LS beam through it to see how it goes.

The dome is a heavy, sturdy piece of solid glass with a modified cabuchon shape. There is no reflector so I presume the beam was of sufficient magnitude and intensity all by itself (the internals don't work now so I never saw it). Will post pics of both it and whatever beams I get out of it if they are worthwhile, as soon as I get home (if I remember)...

[Rothrandir]

a colminating lens won't work very well for a incandescant light if used alone, since only a small percentage of the light will go straight up...a reflector of some sort for isntance.

the designs are seriously interesting, but if these ever get made (i'm having a hard time imagining that they would), they would be very very expensive to machine! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

[scuba]

Ha ha...I knew that you guys were going to enjoy that link! I don't even remember how I ended up on that site but those lights are pretty stiking...

[tkl]

Those are cool, but just pics.

MR Bulk, I'll be very interested to see how this turns out. I have, coming in the mail, a couple of very old Eveready's that have these "walleye" type glass lenses.

I purchased them recently and was thinking of asking here about the feasibility of updating the light sources and power supplies.

They are such handsome, almost art-deco, designs that I'd like to update the innards mainly for conversation pieces on my living room shelves.

Please do post your ideas and results.

I'm kind of dissapointed...scrolling down that site I was sure I was going to find at least one light that was also a Staser...

Oh well...

Quick, someone invite that guy to CPF!!!

Jeez! And we all thought that a tid was over the top!

Something just clicked - you old timers should know what I am talking about. Remember PK's site? Those pics look familiar, don't they? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Perhaps they were made with a similar design package?

[K-T]

I have seen these a long time ago when browsing through Mr. Pirela's site. They look like some studies - we'll see.
