    9,200 mcd Nichia Lot S!

    That's at 20 ma. Yes, these are whites. The Lot R are rated at 6,400 mcd at the same 20 ma. Who says you can't get something for nothing! (Of course, you can't, so the S lot must also put out less heat!) John

    9,200 mcd Nichia Lot S!

    I just got a look at Nichia's current PDF on the NSPW-500BS. They rate the Lot S at 9,200 mcd typical, 11,000 maximum! Now I know why the CREE 5,600 that I have are not as bright compared to the Nichias! John

    Solar pathlight Problem...help!

    Thanks for the replies and ideas. Nope, the photo cell isn't it. I tried covering them up (completely!) and there is no change. I did notice that replacing the bulb with a kernel bulb from a Mini-Mag(tm) (brighter, more draw) makes them go out even more quickly. Something strange is going...

    Solar pathlight Problem...help!

    OK here it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The RED & BLACK wires go to the solar cell, the BROWN & YELLOW, to the light sensor, the ORANGE& WHITE to the manual off switch, and the WHITE & BLUE up to the bulb. Thanks for looking! John

    Old project lantern platform

    Hi Lemlux, These guys might have just what you want. They are local here in the San Diego area and offer (in their stores, not on the website) a 6 V Gel Cell direct replacement for the 6V Lantern batteries. Same size, shape and springs on top! I think they get around $10 for them (new) if I...

    Saw a LED light at WalMart

    AAA Alkalines...Big Lots! 4-pack for $0.98 Seem to work as well as any I've had. Consumer reports ran alkaline batteries a while back and said they are all basically the same. All made by Energizer or Duracell and private labeled. Buy based on price! John

    Solar pathlight Problem...help!

    Two of my Siemans solar path lights are exhibiting a peculiar problem. When I turn them on, they stay on very briefly (1-10 seconds) then blink off. The battery voltage is fine (2.6 volts for the 2 NiCds) and does not drop much with the light on, so I think the batteries are fine. After they...

    LED problems ? ...- - - ...

    3 "N" cells with a 1/2 " slug on the bottom should work nicely, if a bit overdriven.

Here is an inexpensive, Dual Purpose light...I bought the 2,000,000 candlepower rechargeable from Big Lots (Formerly Pic N Sav) for...
