Oh, wow!
I gotta ask... how much would you charge for one of these babies?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
LOL! I was afraid somebody would ask this!
Let's see...
$4 for the light (I got such a deal!)
$3 for the mini switch SPDT
$36 for the LEDS (
www.whiteleds.net)
Considering how long it takes to make the reflector holes, I'd have to see about using a drill press and a turntable to "produce" a decent reflector. I did mine by hand and it shows.
Still, took about an hour to make just the reflector. You have to work up from tiny drill bit to 1/4 inch in several steps or the reflector breaks.
Almost another hour to drill the 40 LED lead holes, solder, wiring, and assembly.
So I'd have to tack on $15 for labor (haven't worked for $7 an hour in years
).
That's $58 so far, still interested?
Round up to $60, plus shipping, to include the Big 'Ol resistor and wire, and I might think about it.
Maybe a kit would be a better deal? Flashlight, parts list, CAD printout for drilling holes, and detailed instructions.
Could do that for $6 plus $4 shipping in U.S. ...
Let me know if anyone's interested. It was not my intention to sell these things.
