Sold/Expired Giveaway: datiLED Battery Drainers for Thanksgiving

[greatscoot]

Very cool G.A.W. and congrats to all the winners. These are amazing little devices.

They will run for about 30 days straight on a fresh "D" cell.

Your battery drainers in their simplicity are a reminder to me that -
- the simplest things in life can provide fun and joy
- to waste not, is to want not, and
- even if only in small ways to try to brighten someone else's day

Thanks datiLED.

Congrats guys/gals. And thank you, datiLED.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Awesome I'm a winner!! I get last pick which means all the other winners pick for me. Can't wait to see what I end up with. Thank you Derek!

 

[KuanR]

Thank you Derek! I'll take this one

10mm ZXLD381 (1.5V) battery drainer with 3400K high CRI LED. Perfect for draining AAA cells (or any other 1.5V battery). Will not stick to vertical surfaces like other drainers, but so tiny and cute.

Looks like we can wrap this up!

I'll take:
Original 1.5V VoltVamp circuit with some PCB artwork that I was testing. 5400K high CRI LED and koi silk screen.

Thanks Derek! What a nice way to head into Thanksgiving.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Think that means I get the: 1.5V through hole battery drainer prototype with cool Nichia GS LED. A real performer and drains cells low. Plus, you get to see the circuit!

Heck yeah!! Thank you Derek.

 

[datiLED]

PSM, you are correct!

I dropped all of the battery drainers (except KuanR) off at the post office this morning, so most of you should see them by Monday.

KuanR, per your request, your battery drainer will ship when I am able to build the micro lantern.

 

[ledbetter]

Received and works great, thanks datiLED!

My VoltVamp arrived yesterday. I love its warm tint and soft light. Thanks so much for making these, Derek, and for doing this giveaway!

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Got mine, so cool!! Ty again Derek!

 

[pc_light]

Thanks datiLED.

Candlelight from my used 1.5 and 3V cells that no longer run in their original devices.

3V battery drainer with 3400K high CRI LED.

pc_light What did you use as a diffuser? Is that a ChapStick lid?

 

[pc_light]

It's a silicone diffuser that I got with some light but I don't remember which.

Fits perfectly over the c-cell and stretches slightly to accommodate the wire.

----------
If you still have one laying around somewhere, an old film canister w/5mm hole in the top works so well I'm tempted to glue it up that way.

 

[troutpool]

The translucent cap from a bottle of spring water sits perfectly atop my lantern, like a tiny lamp shade, and makes a fine diffuser.

Another option

The color change Battery Drainer has landed!

Nice and bright and it's really cool how the colors change.

Thanks DatiLED!

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Mine has been running for 52 hours on a Eneloop Pro AA that is no good!

 

[djj]

Happy to report the new guy (on the eneloop) is fitting in just fine!
