I attacked with my tin snips at dawn.
The victim was an L2T that had long since failed and been forgotten about.
Originally, it was going to go back to the vendor, but no more.
i cut through the anodized aluminum threads and extracted the brass engine.
i butchered the resoldering of the contacts top and bottom, and made a melted mess out of the dome lens, before it fell off.
with superglue as my ally, i repositioned the dome for another attack.
i allso soldered a bridge between the negative contact ring and the brass engine, in a most grizzly way.
and with my electrodes at 3 volts, the victim had returned from the grave. the frankenfenix was alive!
i drilled a hole in an altiods tin (ginger chocolate) and slopped it in with all manner of adhesives.
it was ugly.
a trip to the rat shack got me a 4AAA holder, with switch, which was allso next in line for the wrath of the tin snips, and some custom hacking to make it fit.
the zombies at the dollar store sold me 2 four packs of super heavy duty AAA's for two dollars, after seeing rechargable AAA's at radio shack for 5 dollars a piece, or $20 for a 4 pack. talk about brutal...
and as i sit, the glue is curing. soon, the final soldering will begin.
soon, we will have a luxeon III slaughter at 6 volts.
i love the smell of lumens in the morning.

ill have pics soon, as well as a test (perhaps even a video of it?)
im giving it between 20 and 40 seconds to survive.
$1 for liquid epoxy
$1 for super glue
$2.05 for the battery holder.
$2.00 for more batteries than it has any chance of surviving.
the other stuff i just scrounged up.
i just looked it up and it seems i am not the first with an LED in an altiods tin. im just the first one to make one so evil.
