    Want to build a macro ring light using LEDs

    I have just recently become interested in building one of these myself. In searching the net I also came across this site where the owner has done some extensive work on DIY ring lights. http://fuzzcraft.fuzzphoto.eu/ringlights.html A good suggestion for a diffuser would be to use one of the...

    Sold/Expired The Nautilus Flashlight Thread

    One more extremely satisfied owner here. I just wanted to comment that I am not very active on the forums, but also have not even had much in the way of an EDC light either. I do have an Ion, but found the flood type beam good for inside work, but not as good for general outdoor work for me...

    Sold/Expired The Nautilus Flashlight Thread

    So, since Enrique encouraged some of us who have been chosen to "play" with a prototype Nautilus, let me begin by expressing my gratitude for being given this opportunity. I received the light in a package and upon opening it my first impression was just simply 'wow!'. The light is bare...

    Help on removing m@g 2d switch

    Pry out the rubber switch cap and insert the allen wrench in the exposed hole. Unscrew it a couple of turns and the switch will slide out the back of the light. Make sure the switch is in the ON position. There is a set screw that digs into the inside of the tube providing the ground path for...

    Anyone have dual batteries in your vehicle

    I don't think you will want to try to wire them in series because your car charging system will only charge to about 14 Volts. That said, the marine and car audio world does this dual battery thing all the time. You can buy a battery isolator ( basically a diode system) to allow your alternator...

    need help with M@g85 reflector

    Sounds like you need to unscrew the cam follower screw on the side of the bulb post and put a washer behind it to lock the floating slug down. After you do that and find the proper location, you can adjust the head for best focus. Jeff

    No Love for the Centurion C3???

    I also have and use my C3 daily. I have an older style KL3 head modded with a Lux3, increased drive current and PR-T reflector. It's a great sized light, although the KL3 is a bit long. But, it still fit's in a jacket pocket. I love that SW02 switch. Where can I get one in that style? Jeff

    Where to order Triton or Ice chargers?

    You can buy either at Tower Hobbies. Occasionally they will have a discount available. I'm sure others will post additional places. Jeff

    Help - Sound/Video Card Install?

    You have to check that the motherboard will accept a video card. Most do, but open the machine and look for a brown colored connector on the board at the top of the card connector area. If one is there, you can put a video card there. It is the AGP port. Now you need to determine the type of...
