Seeing the amazing 16 level brightness flashlight offered by fellow CPFer waion. I was inspired to make a different breed of LED flashlight. I obtained a multi-color 5W LED lamp module and decided to put it to work in a 3D Maglite. It is however, I found another better housing which is a metal vintage work lamp from the 60's and better fit for it's purpose of a multi-task lamp. The lamp module can emit up to 16 different colors with four brightness levels. And best of all, it can be operated by a remote control. The beam is a flood type beam which provides good general area illumination. The white beam is not very white and has a bluish tint. With the remote control, I can pick from any of the 16 color available anytime I want or let it flash/ strobe/fade/smooth alternates in cycles ( disco lightning or signaling ). It is running on two protected 18500s and the runtime on max. brightness is about 2+ hours.

If there is sufficient interest, I 'll offer the lamp module ( MR16 5W 12V DC/AC ) + remote control unit + AC adaptor & bi-pin holder w/ switch. You 'll have to find your own mod host. The module will run on two LiIon ( current draw 600mA ) or 3 LiLon ( current draw 400mA ).

Hi Jeff,

Yes. That thing with the fins is a heat sink. However, the lamp is only warm to the touch because it is only drawing 400 - 600 mA.

We are getting pretty close to a "dial your color" light finally! Can't wait to have something like this in a smaller and nicer form factor!

If only there was a dial your color with a tight beam in a mag reflector, I'd only have 2 mag lights! LOL! This would be cool for contrable mood lighting for your house. Make a mini club downstairs!! Or change the color of your bed room at night depending on your mood!!

Digging that purple color.

That is really cool! I love the marriage of a vintage housing with modern lighting technology; an LED retro-lamp.
Nice job!
