    ...and has always been available for questions. He's also been extremely generous in his business ventures in a very CPF fashion. Two thumbs up for Jon and his Passaround GL3. (just PM me or reply here if you'd like to see some pictures/beamshots) *Edited to include various things that I...

    Presenting the Georgerandir (WARNING: MANY PICS)

    Hello folks. Recently I've been working on a little project. I've always wanted a decent camping light, and since the advent of the uFlex by George, I've been collecting parts to build one. I had Rothrandir (Or Frothy as he is otherwise known) machine a flashlight head/heatsink for me and I...

    Best Spot for me........

    Greetings all -- I've come across an extra 40-50 bucks and it's just itching to be spent. I've decided that my next acquisition will be a spotlight. At first I was going to purchase the Vector 1.5mcp Aluminum spot online but decided to ask here before I actually comitted. For 40-50 bucks, is...

    My hand looks like a primitive club(60kb of pics)

    Something strange happened to me on Saturday afternoon as I was about to mow the lawn. I had thrown the extension cable into the grass and just as I went to pick one end up, I mean JUST as my hand had reached grass level, I recoiled instantly. Apparently I was bitten by some sort of spider...

    What options do I have?

    Hello everyone. As a newly converted CPF addict, I've been looking at cheap flashlights I have at home to modify. I am very pleased with how my 6D and 2D Mag modifications came out and my next potential subject is a 4D Garrity Lantern, which is displayed below: I would love to put an LS in...

    Luxeon running off of 120VAC...

    Hey all. In my bathroom I have two lights, which are both incandescants. The main light is a typical 60/100w and the other is a low level light (for night use perhaps). I have never really used the low level light because it invariably will burn out prematurely (extremely prematurely) and it is...

    Arc AAA Durability

    Hey guys, I have a quick question about the Arc AAA. Obviously it is one heck of a tough light. I tossed it at a concrete surface from a few feet above ground and it still worked like a champ. I'm wondering, approximately how much force will it stand? Anybody ever broken one of these lights...

    Two Mag Mods Finished (200kb of Pictures inside)

    Hey guys -- I'm back from vacation and I just finished up a few mag modifications. Ok the picture above is of the 'business' end of the 2d Mod. It uses an R2H 1W with a 350mA Micropuck. Now here I have a question. I am using one of Wayne's 30mm collimators (I wanted more spill than the mag...

    Maglite Runtime....

    Hey guys -- I'm trying to compare 5W Luxeon battery life to the standard 6D Mag lite battery life. I'm wondering if anyone knows how many minutes/hours it takes a Maglite with new batteries to reach 50% light output, or until it starts noticeably dimming/yellowing. Thanks -- I appreciate it.

    Amount of Arctic Alumina Adhesive?

    Hello guys -- I'm about to redo a 6D Mag mod and I'm wondering about the amount of Arctic Alumina to use between the heatsink and the Luxeon. See, with CPU's you need an extremely thin layer of thermal grease. Adding more just depreciates the ability to transfer heat. I assumed that the same was...

    V2T 5W Star....

    Wayne, I had one of your V2T 5W Stars in my cart and was about to order when it stated that I would not be able to order them (due to little to no quantities of them or whatever). When do you imagine these 5watters will go back in stock and be available for my purchase? Thanks for your time.

    Madmax Running Time....

    Hello everyone. A friend of mine is planning on installing a Madmax module into his Mini Mag 2AA. The one last question I have is: What battery life can be expected of this module? How long does it stay at high brightness and also at a much dimmer output? Thanks ever so much.

    Arc-AAA Backordered eh?

    Hello all, Question for Gransee (or whoever knows): I ordered an ARC-AAA on Monday the 7th of July. The website stated that it could be 3 days before the order shipped. As of now, the order is still on hold and I've seen a few of you guys mentioning something about the AAA being backordered...

    Room and ambient lighting....

    Hey guys, I have yet another question for you. I've been wondering if there are any useful ways to implement 5w LS's into household lighting. How feasible do you think it would be to use a few 5 watters around a room, perhaps recessed into the ceiling with some diffusing covers? Or perhaps in a...

    1W run time....

    Hey all. I have, yet another, question. I'm looking to create a long-lasting flaslight out of my crappy old Mag 2d. Basically I was looking at purchasing a white 1W with heatsink/bolts from Wayne at Elektrolumens. With 2 fresh D batteries in and no regulation, how long should these batteries...

    Methods of adhering an emitter to a heatsink....

    Hello everyone, I have yet another question for you guys. I have successfully removed the LS emitter from the star. *phew* Now that that part is accomplished, I'm looking at the task of adhering the emitter onto the heatsink. I know many people use arctic silver adhesive. I'm wondering if AS...

    Looking for some Nichia LED's.......

    Looking for some Nichia LED\'s....... Hey guys -- A friend of mine is going to be placing some LED's into his dash to replace the long-burned out and malfunctioning incandescants. I suggested that he use basic 5mm Nichia White's for this job. My question is this: Do you resident LED experts...

    LS white 5W resistoring/lifetime question.....

    Hello all, First off -- it's official. You guys, with your lighting propoganda, have officially turned me into a flashaholic. It's pretty bad when on camping trips you are disappointed with a 6D Mag and wish you had a handful of LS mods. My question: As I've stated before I'm modding my 6D...

    Tip: Don't look directly at the light.....

    ...two V3U LS 5 watters in my mail box this afternoon. After rigging my Mag to hold the LED I turned off all the lights and hooked up the power. !@$)*@#% HOLY CRAP that's bright! And that is with only 7.5 volts running through it -- not 9 like some of you fools . I am thoroughly impressed with...
