I know, my collection can't compare to a hardcore flashaholic..... yet.... but i think i have a somewhat respectable collection of Minimags for a newbie, and all but one are modified....
from left to right...
beat up black Mini; stock incan, used as an "electric candle" for power outages
Gold mini; UV LED jury-rigged setup with hand drilled lens and running off 4 1/2 AA 3.6V lithiums
Black mini; upgraded with Nite Ize LED retrofit kit, LEDs have a slight yellow/greenish cast
Blue mini; same as the above black Mini, but the LED's are more bluish
that said, they're still whiter than the incan Mini
and a few more pics, ironically, the "moody" lighting on the lights standing up was with a Kensington FlyLight USB powered LED light off my keyboard....
and some shots facing the camera to see the difference in light temperature and balance...
oh, and i also retrofitted Mom's Minimag with the LED kit as well, she was always complaining about the bulbs burning out (guess she drops it a lot....) and it running out of battery power too soon, and since she never used the focusing feature, the LED retrofit makes the most sense for her
