Ignore this Thread. The forum is butchering it up every time I try to edit it.

Thanks Craig. I'll try to re-post my original thread a little later.

The flashlight itself.

.


When disassembled for changing batteries. Note unique slide-out carriage.

.


A look at the business end, and a look down the barrel. The spring contact of the battery goes through that hole and directly contacts the bottom of the LS's PCB.

.


This is the emitter assembly. Note the copper "U" strap electrically connecting the anode to the bottom of the PCB. The LS's PCB rests on another doughnut-shaped piece of PCB that serves as an insulator.

.


This is the dome of the LS emitter, which popped off when the emitter assembly was being realigned. Note the phosphor in the dome; it isn't on the die itself. In the left hand picture, you should be able to see two indentations where the bond wires were embedded.

That's the light I was originally talking about in this thread Craig. Thanks for the pictures. I've re-posted my original thread here if anyone is interested:

How to make a lot of people read a post....

Title It " Ignore This Thread "

Yeah....I know....it's like trying not to scratch an itch.

I would have just deleted it.....but.....guess that aint gonna happen.

Sorry, I just had to ignore this thread.

Thread ignored

It looks like this thread should be closed. Cutter has restarted it in this same forum.

Every time I tried to go in and edit this thread, it kept deleting part of the entry I wanted to keep.....so I would go back in to edit....and it would delete more of what I wanted to keep.

And now....I can't delete the thread or edit it properly.

I'll repost my original message under another thread.

Thanks,

This is probably the infamous "InGon" light that's been the butt of several CPF subjects as of late. I have yet to see one in working order (I have a sample that was accidentally destroyed by a CPF'er trying to align it), so I have no way of objectively commenting on it.

I'll try to put up a couple of pictures of the corpse shortly.
