EverLed in a lantern?(Value Bright)

[4x4Dragon]

I know the reverse polarity things has been addressed/fixed but my question is, will an EverLed work in a lantern such as the Rayovac Value Bright?

I just love my "cheap" little modified Value Bright lanterns,(one with Tec40 bulb and the other with a faceted reflector /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif and 4.8v krypton bulb) and think that i would love them even more with an EverLed in them.

Is this the lantern? If so, I have an Everled in one.

yeah, talking about the lanterns, the ones that have a rough textured body. I love 'em!

My Value Bright lantern with the PT40 bulb is probably the farthest throwing light i have ever seen!! awesome spot light!

fyi, I had to shave the PR notch a bit with a razor knife so that the Everled would fit. Nice runtime, and the side-emitter does well here.

Works great for me. I have it in one of those el cheapo Dorcy lanterns that take 4 AA cells.

Seems to only work with IE. There is no valid reason for them to do this.

Non-white everleds work great in this application as well. I use a blue as a marker light outside when expecting company in the evening (very attention getting) or an amber for general outside area lighting duties, or for a bar light.

The everled will have a slightly, if not drastically different throw compared to your good incandescant bulbs in that lantern. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif
Everleds are really much like any other high powered leds in that it performs best when hooked up to some kind of a good heatsink like: a metal reflector, metal bulb socket with a large contact flange. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
There is more than just the emitter to think about as far as heat is concerned. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
There is also the issue of it's regulating circuit generating a little heat too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
Both sources of heat have to be disposed of properly to ensure a long and happy relationship with your $40 Everled. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

If your Everled does croak, Make sure it came from www.Ledsupply.com
Thier customer service to cpf members has been great over the last couple months for myself and a few other flashoholics here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

 

[Phaserburn]

The advantage here for the Everled is color and regulation. A good incan bulb will dim and yellow very quickly on 4AA.

Interesting. Works in Konqueror, but not in Mozilla. Konq is Identified as Mozilla 5.0. I can't find what Mozilla is Identified as.

Try posting the entire website link instead of just the picture link.
I had to do that with my page on www.geocities.com before anybody could see my pics.

Works in firefox just fine. Mozilla 5.0? Are you sure? Must be a pre 1.0 version, in fact it's probably really old, at least 2000 or prior. Get a newer browser... Netscape dropped 5.0 and went straight to 6, which was a 0.9x (mozilla) based browser.
