Resurrecting Grandfather's Flashlight with LED

[Bolster]

DatiLED took on the project of resurrecting Grandfather's 1920s-vintage flashlight into a modern-day double-C powered LED bonfire. If you don't get over to the modified section too often, you might want to check out what it took to overhaul a vintage torch: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=178347

Thanks a million, DatiLED!

Now that's just beautiful!

Very cool! The resurrection of things vintage is noble, especially where sentimental value is concerned. It's nice to see how well this project turned out. DatiLED is some kind of miracle worker! :twothumbs

Btw, is there a who's who posted anywhere on CPF? I've seen some names mentioned here and there in high reverence, like Don McLeish and Scott Clawson, but having only been here a short while, I've little clue. I suspect they're some serious light technology pioneers, but I've only picked up little snippets here and there. It would be really great to become familiar with some of these legendary CPF folks (DatiLED included?).

Very, very nice project. Congratulations, and thanks. This is exactly the sort of thing that could get someone started in modding.
