dammit, power is out...

Cow-valley sinks into darkness

Power's out and you're complaining??

Geoff

Second what Goeff said. Get out the lights.

Bill

Power is still out. Been out since ~7:30PM last night

Mine came back around 5AM. You missed a great CPF GTG last night. We really couldn't have asked for anything better.

...and the flashaholics rejoice! We had a blast last night (I know I did). The faces on the other people in the building after seeing VWTim's "Maglite" were priceless. I'm sure I'll get questions from them...

I'm telling you, the high output bulb from Walmart and the Costco batteries are AWESOME

I got hit too; power's still out. My house is fine, but I was up most of the night running a saw and a winch, getting trees off houses and out of roads. Fun stuff!

Gotta love diesel generators.

Well flashlights don't circulate Freon in my freezer and it doesn't make my TV work either. So, I ended up losing all my ice cream.

oh....that's a problem

I was wondering why your angry the power is out when the rest of us flashaholics have to open the circuit breaker just to get some blackout around here...

It's a variation of a Mag100. 3D mag, using one of AWR's hotdriver to run a 62138 bulb (100 watt at spec) off of 12 CBP1650's. Puts out ~2800 lumens.
