i am very excited but don't really know where to start. i'm temped to take apart a light a cpf friend build for me, and try to reverse engineer it. i have a basic idea from lurking but never have attempted this before. i'm building a multi reflector r2 maglight (i think), typical 4 or 5 led build, or even a p7 build if its not too much tougher, and if reflectors/optics are cheap. but i don't know about the electronics, i am a weak solder'er, and need a little coaching. maybe alot! i've done a search or two but i feel i need a "building flashlights for dummies!" can anyone give me some ideas on what to build, assembling a parts list, and better yet, a dc area neighbor. lol, that would be great, but i figure i'll have to get all my coaching online. can someone point me in the right direction.
