Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

is the reflector smooth or stippled?

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

It's water cooled!

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

I daresay, that looks like circumferential lettering around the head. They'd best be careful of that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

Every time I see a water tower, I entertain the thought of climbing and then swimming in it...

...at night with waterproof flashlights of course.

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

Damn! We have one just like it! I didn't think they were a commercial product. Can you imagine the FedEx on one? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I think ours is a three-cell, though ...

(Neat pic - I'll have to try to get a pic of the one we have here at the mall ... )

I don't see a push-button switch,
Must be a serious pain in the *** to twist the head to turn it on.

I think it's just one 5mm LED in there that lasts 10,000 years on a set of batteries. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

Eh,

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

Is this a unique water tower? There must be similar "flashlight" towers around. If so, I would be very interested to see a picture. I'd like to see the one you have, Tomas.

I guess I should do the credits properly. The lettering reads:

Milton
Halton Region

This tower is right beside Hwy 401 which is the main highway connecting Toronto to Windsor (or Detroit).

As I was taking this picture a police car came by and very slowly went past me. I was really worried that he would stop and ask me why I was photographing the water tower!

And we wonder why the power grid is having problems keeping up? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: World\'s Biggest Flashlight!

Its about time somebody listened to me about tail-standing-ability!

That would never work here though, we have a "dark sky ordinance." We can't have any lights that point UP.
