    Bushnell HD Torch...

    It used a Phillips Lumileds Luxeon Rebel. I don't know exactly why you're commenting here but a more recent thread might be more useful to you, things have changed a lot in the flashlight world since 2011 (atleast I assume they have, I've kind of been out of the loop. I managed to break my...

    50mm aspherical lense

    Just measured it for you, approximately 30-32 mm. Can't believe that this thread is so old now, how time slips away when you're not looking.

    NEW - A slimmer (better?) Sipik SK68?

    Apparently I got lucky with wallbuys. I would go ahead and open the paypal case, if wallbuys value their customers they need to fix their descriptions and improve their customer service.

    How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk?

    As an Englishman I found the results of this test to be most intriguing, Almost the entire western area of America was dark red, those islands at the bottom left were orange-red and the coastal area in the north east of America was yellow/orange. My three cities are Honolulu, Los Angeles and...

    NEW - A slimmer (better?) Sipik SK68?

    I have one, bought it from wallbuys a couple of months ago for 2.99 USD (unfortunately price has now gone up to 3.94 USD). I'll do my best to describe it without rambling too much. - Anodising is of decent quality, slightly glossy with no imperfections (comparable to ITP). - Components are well...

    Sad news

    I do not condone the murder of innocent people. Keeping an innocent incarcerated for years is unacceptable, releasing a potential criminal on the world is also unacceptable. What do you propose would be done with the accused until such a time that their guilt/innocence is proven (which may never...

    Things I've learned the hard way . . .(Part 2)

    Yeah, hang on to those old appliances as long as possible. If something breaks buy replacement parts and you're good for another decade, the alternative is to replace with a shiny new machine... Every two years. My grans ancient washing machine has only failed once and that's because the...

    Conceptualizing budget thrower with minimally invasive modifications

    I will be interested to see how your experiments with parabolic reflectors for light recycling comes out. I have spent a lot of time searching for suitable hemispherical reflectors for my own monster aspheric project but unfortunately options are incredibly limited, there are some good glass...

    there are some Jokes

    Re: Picky Critter Very funny indeed, but what happens next? We have 3 mathematicians in the lavatory with no ticket and 3 engineers outside the lavatory with 1 ticket between them. The way I see it they're at a stalemate, the engineers need a lavatory and the mathematicians need a ticket...

    Sad news

    But don't take too long ensuring that a person is guilty, keeping an innocent locked up for years is far crueler than killing him erroneously.

    Reccommend some good sci-fi movies

    Dark Star (1974). It's a low budget black comedy, not much action but worth watching (dunno if I'd go as far as buying a copy). It's a cult classic now ;)

    A reminder for UK members about the storm

    Awake now. Dry and still at present. Few twigs and a hell of a lot of leaves laying around, looks like father has been playing with his hedge cutter again :) One pane of glass is a couple of feet from the greenhouse but unbroken (can't say the same for the plants it fell on). Neighbour has lost...

    A reminder for UK members about the storm

    A night owls observation at 3:57am, central kent. Fairly windy but no stronger than usual for this time of year, on and off rain since the evening. Lights have started flickering in the past half hour, cause unknown. All eneloops charged, tree cuttings moved from fragile greenhouse to sturdy...

    Is there such a thing as Brick and motor store for highend flash lights?

    Ashford guns and tackle (Kent Wool Growers) have surefire... Exactly 4 of them, 2 6P's and 2 G2's. No idea what the other gun shops carry.

    Purpose of a strobe setting?

    Approximately 0.0003% of people have photosensitive epilepsy. Therefore having a strobing light instead of a constant light slightly increases your chances of incapacitating your attacker. Theoretically this means that if you get mugged 12 times per day for 76 years you will incapacitate 1...
