Introducing D-Pill

First and foremost I have to thank the following people:
- haveblue for bringing MicroMag to life /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
- dat2zip for donating the MM rev1 board /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
- PhotonFanatic for the lovely Lux3T TY0L /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif

OK. A picture is worth a thousand word so I have 9000 words for you guys, plus some ...

This little baby runs on 750mAh 14500 Li-Ion so it's DD. You think it's crazy, maybe, maybe not. Since my 14500 is rated for 750mAh it's not that much current it's delivering. Fresh off the charger this thing is pulling 600mA and it drops down to 500mA after 15 minutes. My D-Pill #1 have went thru 5 battery cycle and it's still like a virgin. One weird thing I notice is this thing is even cooler than my NG500 to the touch after running for 5 minutes during the shootout. Can some of the electronic wizard help explains this.

Runtime chart, temperature, and Lux reading will be posted once I borrowed CroMagnet's meter.
Visually this thing is far brighter & whiter than most of my LuxIII lights. At 500mA the D-Pill is still brighter than my BB750 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

I had some beamshots vs Simba, ARC4+, and Aleph but my 1G CF card was lost/stolen when I brought it to work today trying to post /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon8.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

One of the picture was pretty funny, I had all these light spread out so my "toddler" son would choose one. Guess what he choose Simba over all the others /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

OK the plus some part ...
The first one to guess what the "D" means will get a free D-Pill sent to their door, no matter where you are. Yes, that includes Timbuktu /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The hint is the original name is in a foreign language.
As an alternate if you guess what my son Andrew's birthday is you get it too.
If no one guess it right by Feb 05, 2005 it will go to the Bay Area Get-Together Q1-2005 raffle.
* Limit one guess per person per day. And only answers posted will count.
GAME OVER - WINNER = ssteven1

Nice D-Pill!!
The answer is... please check your PM. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/au.gif

I'm glad the MicroMag got put to a good use. Small and cute, huh? I think the Micro is a common little light around cpf now. S'OK...I still think they are special and I carry one everyday. Shoot, you've inspired me to make another drop-in for a Micro. Have fun!

I sent in my guess (i forgot to post here.. hope my PM got to you beore Amorphous) oh yea and I hope I'm right..lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke2.gif
