This flashlight was born due to the need of a bright long lasting torch to never be used. well that is i hope not. i wanted something to put down in the shelter i dug under the house. i didnt want to rely on an incandescent to quickly drain the cells with diminished output. I found a ray o vac industrial to accept the white luxeon 1 watt.
powered by 2 "d" cells i suspect very long run time for the direct driven luxeon, perfect for its intended purpose. the emitter and acrylic ball are from dat2zip, the strontium aluminate is from elektrolumens
the white thumbscrew by the switch controls the amount of force needed to turn on the flashlight. (the switch turns on fairly easy and i didnt want accidental usage)
a 3/4" acrylic ball was used to focus the beam.
strontium aluminate was used on the 2aa maglight reflector which utilizes the dimpled reflector of the rayovac very well, and produces a lot of light. (should probably have a beam shot)
this beam shot is extremly close to visual perception of color rendition, taken with a digital canon s30. resolution @ 2040 x 1536, iso set @ 200, f 2.8, white balance set @ tungsten. the outer ring is 11" in diameter.
