    Camping Enthusiests! Canopy Lighting Woes

    Dual Cree multi-mode, custom machined camp light on 1S4P 18650...I'll take one. Curly, I don't own any of these but here are some lanterns that seem to have some of the criteria you are looking for. If not, it could be that some of the design elements could be used for a custom job. ROV...

    30 watt Cardboard hotwire hexagon

    The high tactile feedback of the "quick find" User Interface is a valuable pro for this custom build. The anti-roll housing is inspired. Designed around a pre-focused incandescent par lamp results in a hand held light source that is more powerful than the majority of lights discussed on this...

    How to build a high output UV flashlight?

    lebox - I have that unit. The package is not driven anywhere near an optimal range. Still the frequency is good. In a full sized Mag it throws fairly well. It will make a tennis ball glow from 30+ feet away. In a dark environment it's a little surprising what it will cause to glow. Some...

    ROP and Mag85 - First Time Mods

    That carrier should do fine. I prefer FM's, one reason being that the little springs in other designs carry some resistance. I don't think he's building any more for some reason. The 1700s have been getting good reports. And you bought some FM reflectors. Sweet. Just my humble opinion...

    BTW, I know of 9 or 10 very active members that are female. And the boss lady around here is a girl...such a girl. So yeah, you're cool. Welcome to CandlePowerForums.

    ROP and Mag85 - First Time Mods

    Yep. They are. Don't give up. There is nothing quite walking outside in nature and being able to light up what you want to see in powerful, full color. In a way, yes, I guess. Remember, as easy as some of us say it is you are building a hot rod. All the components should be tuned and in...

    ROP and Mag85 - First Time Mods

    First let's see if your set up can focus axially. With safety glasses on, take off the bezel and grip the edge of the reflector with one finger and a thumb. In less than about 7 second intervals of the flashlight being on, move the reflector up slightly. This should show if shimming it will work...

    Design a light for bloodtrailing

    Two things. 1.) Blood doesn't glow...unless you crop dust the forest with luminol. 2.) Filters are subtractive. They will not add red to a beam that is anemic in critical red wave lengths. Incandescent is going to work great. For an LED mod I think a multi-emitter mix for constant on will...

    One unhappy little camper

    Thanks, DM51. I've been zoning on some obvious stuff lately. Thanks for setting me straight. Bimmerboy - I'd like to thank you a ton for answering the questions. The guitar pick was an inspiration. The part about the envelope possibly deforming then fracturing after cool down makes sense...

    One unhappy little camper

    That's funny, Bimmerboy. Beamhead, I'm laughing out loud at the vacation photo topped off with a wedgie smiley. Bimmerboy - I've got some questions. The D26 by LumensFactory is a light assembly. Is this not an LF LA? Is it possible that the structure of the light holder puts stress on...

    P7 Led in 2.5" Throwmaster, long range beamshots!

    I keep coming back to this thread checking out the beam shots. The flora behind the little bridge is being well lit at maybe 550'. Easily 1 2/3 football fields. What's impressive is that this is in an urban environment with a lot of local ambient light plus the glow from a metropolitan sky...

    P7 Led in 2.5" Throwmaster, long range beamshots!

    Re: P7 Led in 2.5" Throwmaster reflector... NICE! AlexGT - Seems like it should be much more intense. I'm guessing that you might not have been going for lux but more for beam structure. If that's the case, your Throwmaster looks to be collimating that P7 beautifully. NICE indeed, sir.

    What should I put in this beauty?

    How ever you configure it to be it would make an outstanding torch for the Olympics. Looks like industrial art to me. Very nice.
