    building an air rifle light, best color temp and 1 mode board?

    As I understand it, the 1st driver has several modes, one of which has a single level. This would be great incase I want to play around with the other modes at some point. THe only down side would be if blipping it momentarily on and off with the membrane switch would accidently get it into...

    building an air rifle light, best color temp and 1 mode board?

    I am working on modifying a light to mount on my Theoben Rapid7 air rifle. There is almost no recoil, so I am thinking about starting with a zoom focus light and replacing the emitter and driver board, putting on a momentary switch, and may mount the battery further to the rear for balance...

    Infrared .5 watt emitter help

    I am looking to build an emitter to use with a security camera, most of the Ir cameras just stack more and more small Ir leds to get any sort of range. I saw this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4669 and was thinking about building a light to get a tighter beam. I also will need...

    LiteFlux LF3/LF4/LF5 Preview (8/25: Updated LF5 runtime)

    This is a question for those of you who have a f5 and a f3 or F4. Are the heads interchangable? More to the point, does the F3-F4 have the same electronics as the F5. I made my own smaller rear for my F2, and would be interested in a F3 to make a AA form factor rear for that head. I asume...

    Zombies: Which to use?

    For fast zombies, a tower mounted HID with a GE minigun, 12ga for climers and a nice sniper rifle for the slow moments. On foot, you would need a HID for long range, and a smaller led for sneeking around. I would want my Styer AUG because it's so easy to hold on point for a long time...

    Making the Perfect EDC light a reality! ? ! ?

    If you are looking for something no one is doing, how about a new reflector size, dedicated to a AA and 2/AA light, to make a AA as small as possible. Right now, my only choice for a EDC is to go AAA, which leaves me with a short run on bright. An AA would give 3X the watt min, and dosn't have...

    LiteFlux LF2 questions, feedback & suggestions

    Having glow in the handle would be nice on the bigger lights, but for the LF2, which rides in my pocket all the time, I don't think it would have much of a charge when I need it. As far as being able to see or feel the position of the head, I think they add the current spot at the end of...

    LiteFlux LF2 questions, feedback & suggestions

    using the diffuser requires unscrewing the head and screwing on the diffuser which exposes the emiter for at least a few seconds. I understand that some of the other LF's now come with a snap on diffuser, which is a nice idea, I asume that one is in the works for the LF2 Generally though, I...

    Liteflux LF2, Custom thin rear

    While I like my LF2 for it's two level switch, super bright output and cool programability. The tailcap holes require using the little tiny split ring and it still dosn't line up in my pocket as well as my old micromag AAA did. I also felt that the rear was way thicker than needed to hold a...

    LiteFlux LF2 questions, feedback & suggestions

    thanks!, got it working now. One thing a little disturbing, I got a little dust on the emiter and went to wipe it off gently, it's a jell, soft not solid still seems to work fine, but I don't think I will be taking the head off again to use it as a candle. How do you clean it if it get's dirty...

    LiteFlux LF2 questions, feedback & suggestions

    not sure if this has been covered before, long thread. Is default mode with battery protection off or on? after sw8, light is flashing about 1X sec, how do I tell if I have correctly switched to battery protection mode, or out of it? Thanks

    Best Value AA Headlamp from KD/DX?

    I know it's out of your listed price range, but I love my petzl myo XP. Very nice even flood, and a nice bright spot. Runs a long time on AA's. The flip up lense really works well to give a flood. It's the only headlamp I can read with. http://www.rei.com/product/721995 Not the best...

    Will a UV or a specific color light help me find Dog Poop

    I trained our dog to only go in the woods around the house. He got locked in a night, then in the morn, I ran him to the woods and didn't let him leave untill he went. After a couple months, it's automatic. Now the only poop in the yard is from other dogs..........

    LF2 Cree or LF2 SSC - which one?

    I just got one, the cree was out of stock, so I got the SSC, nice usable beam. I think there is a tendancy to make a lot of these little lights with a really tight spot, as the numbers are more impressive, but for usability, I think the SSC is just right. As far as uniformity, there are no...

    Leatherman Monarch 500

    Re: Leatherman Monarch 500 ( 145 Lumens ) 6AAA = poor design, we all know that fairly cheap step up circuits exist, why would leatherman, who makes great multiknives, chose such a silly battery configuration? It's probably not even regulated, has no low mode. They won't be seeing my ~$30...
