Far less impressive than some of the stuff here but with a Cree 5MM and some creative bending you can make

Push on momentary. ;)
 
hmmm... which reminds me something I did back in 2006 with a removeable battery

this is what I do now with boost circuits :grin2:


CREE 5mm huh, are they known for low Vf?

8 XP-G in the back??? :laughing:

9. :nana:

The VF is 3.2 or something. Really low. Quite bright (maratac on low) with a half used CR123a at 3.03 volts. The beam is like a Nichia, Yellow on the outside and blue in the middle they are meant for the onion ring, but since Koala is enjoying a nice overseas trip and I would be getting a few more next time I go to cutter for my GB I just played with these. Probably buckled the wires :oops:. Illum, your one looks way neater. :thumbsup:

sounds beautiful, are they more snow white or more Nichia GS?
I'm thinking of getting some from digikey.

I was trying my best to keep the contacts as away from each other as possible, and constant on :grin2:

I'm under the impression that cells gas off more during discharge than storage...build a couple of these (like 10) and clump them in an area the size of a Frisbee and you'll get the impression of the concentration of flashahol I'm referring to. *cough* *cough*:ohgeez:

PM me your address I'll send you some of these. Don't know how good there are compared to the GS because I lost my e01. Gotta love that lithium smell! L91 don't have the powerful rich aroma of the DL123a.
