    Lorsund reflector retaining nut impossible to remove?

    Well, I've tried my sturdy screwdrivers as well, but just wouldn't come out. I was thinking of using snap ring pliers only I don't have any right now. Maybe it's time to buy some tools... :)

    What's the tint like on your Cree/Seoul emitters?

    The SSC USW0 I got from DX is a very nice, clean, snowish white, maybe leaning a bit towards daylight white but the most comfortable tint I have, indoors or outdoors. The SSC on the Ministar5 is very close in tint to the one I got from DX. Every Cree I own, however, has a slight greenish tint...

    Lorsund reflector retaining nut impossible to remove?

    Hey all. Started working on one of my Lorsunds... the one I have, not the ones in the mail :) I can't seem to get the reflector retaining nut off. I could fairly easily with my Elly, but not a budge at all with this beast. Was yours easy to take off? If not, how did you do it? I fabricated a...

    how much volt does an optical mouse LED use?

    Actually, most old ball mice were optical in nature - the ball moved a horizontal and vertical bar, which had slotted wheels at the ends. Between these were a light source and a receptor - when the mouse was moved, this would cause the slotted wheel to turn, cutting off then allowing the light...

    New Thread on Kai 3W Cree (Elly--Elite)

    Yapo, it is just a turn-on voltage, not a cutoff. If you are running the light and it falls below this threshhold, it will continue to run - but if you power cycle, the light will not turn on. The reason why (and a fix) can be found at...

    $9.99 CREE P4 AA @ DX, alum. ref, steel body, plas len

    You answered my question in your own question - it isn't a quick process; therefore, the savings aren't worth the time I have to wait, especially considering the quality. Yeah, the wait might be temporary, and the 'savings' per se might be what prevails, but for the build quality... you get what...

    $9.99 CREE P4 AA @ DX, alum. ref, steel body, plas len

    I *still* haven't received mine. Should be in any time though (I hope) - supposedly it shipped some time ago. My second order, though... no word at all on that one. I will check in a bit and hopefully everything will be marked as Shipped. I probably won't order from DX again.

    Which is brightest, Fenix L1D or creed Elly?

    They are. I have a Seoul'd Elly, and it isn't quite as bright as my L2D-CE, but close. Not bad for having runtime 2/3 of the 2AA L2D-CE on Turbo. My Cree'd Ellys are still in the mail (or haven't even got that far yet).

    $9.99 CREE P4 AA @ DX, alum. ref, steel body, plas len

    Some Ellys will turn on at 0.9v or so, others all the way above 1.3v. There is a fix to let it turn on at ~0.7v or so at this post: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1899558&postcount=501 Of course, for stock, it just depends on if you're lucky. I have an Elly that has only been...

    Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites?

    Re: Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites? Thanks, MattK - while mine is working after rigging it with foil and flattening the bottom as I described in my post, out of four other TerraLux products I own, this is currently my only working one...

    Just won a 238 led light. Who wants to touch me? (added photo)

    LED clearance at target

    Each store is different. One store near me was cleaned out, the other had Inova 2AA for $14, 2C for $20, and the copper maglite keychain was $4. I haven't gone in a while - with good reason, I am out of money! :D

    $6.25 Elly 1 Watt has boost/regulated 2h 40m!

    The Elly is PFM, so yes, your output is pulsed and the meter is just too slow to see this. :)

    Dealextreme 1.25 Watt Cree 1 AA Flashlight **Now with beamshots** Test Complete.

    Wow, fix your hot pixels in those shots! :) As much as I don't want to spend any MORE on lights (I have a few on order, mostly from DX), I'll probably pick up a couple of these from DX based on your information. Thank you.

    Anyone get their TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade for 3-6 cell Maglites?

    Mine appeared DOA as well - I had to put a small amount of aluminum foil in the empty space between the threading and the base, as well as flatten the bottom positive terminal for mine to work. I didn't get any flashes when hitting the switch, by the way - my flashes would occur when screwing...
