<font color="purple">*Edit* Some guys are giving calculated lumens so I'm adding two fields, RLumens(rated) and CLumens(calculated). Include those if you wish. We may need a couple other fields later but I can do that by breaking up the Discription field</font>
<font color="green">*Edit 01/11/05* I'll start updating the first post so you don't have to copy/paste/edit like a sign up list</font>
Quite a while back, FlashlightOCD thought it would be a good idea for members to post what bulbs they used with what host/battery configurations in the form of a list.
For a while I tracked this list in the form of a table. I've done a terrible job at updating the table so I wanted to ask if the HotWire folks would update the table with their discoveries.
There are plans in motion to build a much more useful SuperBulb table that may use information from my ugly little table. This will be done by one or more members that are much more expert than I. In the meantime it's nice to have it as a readily available Word document, Excel spreadsheet or Access table/query/report.
The structure is Reporting Member, Bulb, Volt Rating, Amp Rating,<font color="red">RLumens,CLumens</font> and Description. If you don't readily remember V or A don't worry about it. I suspect that "Discription" will be split into three fields; Batteries, Host and Comments. Maybe Resistance, VDrop and Run Time will also be separate fields in the future. I would like to keep the first field, "Reporting Member" because it is the best unique ID. If we maintain a unique ID then DB manipulation and queries will be easier. If we stick with the structure then I can much more easily create a CSV for the project. I want to clarify that I'm not the lead on the project. I'm just attempting to gather useful, well structured information for the project.
I know this is a lot to ask but the resulting work done by one or more experts will save us all hundreds of answer posts. Plus, I can barely remember the specs on just a few bulb/usage configurations. Also, if this is a rotten idea or too much of a PITA; that's cool. It's understandable.
But if you feel like it, please copy/add/edit/paste your submissions to the following table and then post it like we do in a sign-up thread. Except, this will be an "I've been there and done this" thread.
Thanks -
