trying to find

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I am looking for 2 items.

The first was purchased about 5 years ago at a Barnes and Noble bookstore. It was a flashlight about the size of a playing card and about as thick as a credit card. It was decorated with the famous painting of the cherubs (don't recall the artist), and came in various motifs. I would like to replace it.

Secondly I am looking for a variable intensity and beam (continuous light), highly portable, and yet, inexpensive (under $100), light source to be used as a main light in tabletop photography product shots

If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Maybe something like this?

Hope it helps.

You can also try Eveready they have an Ultraslim lithium which looks like a thick credit card. Also a review is available at the ledmuseum. Stingmons website.

Now I've seen everything.
$1,510.00 for a 2-LED disposable flashlight.

"All Eons are ultrareliable. No batteries to buy, and no bulbs to blow".
And this $1,510.00 flashlight is labelled as an Eon just like the others on the page.

I'd rather buy an HID light and a blue laser if I had that kind of money to blow on glowy-blinky things. :-/

Who the HELL would spend over $1,500.00 for a two-LED flashlight anyway, when you can get a Lightwave 2000 or a nice bright Arc for only $25 or $30?

 

[yclo]

Are you sure you can get a blue laser for that cheap?

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Yeah, I wonder who will spend $1500 on two blue leds. I'll take a shot... some rich drug dealer who fancies raves and must have the "newest" technology to show off while performing light shows. On the side he talks about the EON's artistic value and the exhorbitant price he paid for it.
If I had that piece of junk, I'd melt it for its gold which is probably worth 50 bucks and use the leds for Christmas ornaments.

Ya know, I kinda like the stainless EON. 20 pounds MSRP(darn keyboard, no Brit symbol). I wonder what they cost in a store(other than Harrods). OOPS. I just followed there link and it lists Garrity as the US distributor. Time for an email.

phred,
there is a good chance I can get the Sinclair EON ICE, the blue-bodied one, at less than UK retail.
Keep me in touch with your USA prices, we could be looking towards a bulk-buy.

Review of the EON ICE to follow shortly.

For flat flashlights, there's also the USA's LUMATEC FLASHCARD @ http://www.lumatec.com/
it's a bright white Incandescent, running off a 6V lithium "Polaroid" type battery.

Hey. Check this out. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR> Whilst developing EON Classic, the first flashlight to use white LEDs, Iain Sinclair discovered that
white and blue LEDs behaved quite differently from conventional LEDs (which fail or run less
efficiently when overpowered) and by substantially overrunning them a light bright enough for a
flashlight was possible without damage to the LEDs.

We believe this invention is highly significant since patent protection may give us a monopoly on
overrun superbright blue or white LED flashlights which are already rapidly superseding conventional
flashlights that use incandescent lamps. This is because LEDs are virtually indestructible and take so
little power that battery replacement is hardly necessary. They are also much smaller so more compact
and lighter products are possible.

Iain Sinclair has been granted patents for the overrunning LED technology in UK, France, Germany,
Japan and Spain.

Similar applications are progressing in Sweden, USA and Italy. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> First led flashlight? DISCOVERED?

INVENTED?

And Al Gore invented the internet.

Just heard from Garrity(fast). This is the only EOM product they carry. @$&#^. Cannot post jpeg. I'm on a x-term. Anyway, It's a ring that goes around a thermostat with a led in it. They call it a (gasp)thermostat lite.

Jahn. Thanks for the offer but the blue one reminds me of Techass's Ergo X-ray

. Got one already.

 

[mikep]

Aw crud! THIS is my 100th post?!! Ah well, no use making it any more thrilling than the other 99

 

[sunspot]

Thanks mikep. Well, that about it on surlyb's quest for CC light for me and I cannot think of any variable output lamp for photography.

OK phred, let me ring them tomorrow. If there's a chance, I'll get one.

The world`s gone mad I tell you! No, wait, the world`s already mad- I proclaimed it as such on a Saturday back in June. Forget what it was that caused me to realise this, must`ve been at least on a par with that thing though.


$1500 flashlight? If only I had that sort of cash....can anyone say "Maxa Beam"? (yeah I know it`s $2000+ but you get the idea).


One day...keep hoping.....

 

[Size15's]

One of my friends at work bought me an Eon Ice for my 21st I believe.

The other day (yesterday) I changed the batteries in one of my PhotonIIs and discovered that the EonIce was getting on a bit. So I took it to bits.

I'll have to get some more because even though the beam is poop, the creditcard size impresses the ladies even more then the PhotonII.... Even though the PhotonII comes in more colours and is brighter (to begin with)

I'll not be buying a gold or silver version. The EonIce will make good gifts for both females and any males I for some reason decide to buy gifts for.

To get the "£" symbol, try Alt+156 (on the numeric keypad).
