    DIY Hunting LED Spotlight - design suggestions

    Hi Guys, I have a small 4WD buggy used for spotlighting foxes on the farm. It has a Lightforce Blitz 240 mounted on the roof and we recently converted to HID in an attempt to improve throw and reduce current draw as the alternator is pretty small. Its not been a success and I want to try...

    Lightforce HID + red filter -> what colour temp?

    Hi Guys, Looking to mod one of my Lightforce 240 Blitz lights for long distance fox shooting. General consensus is that a straight HID light tends to be too bright and unsettles the foxes. I have tried the red filter on the 100W halogen 240 but that cuts the range down considerably so I was...

    Modding Maglite into search & rescue light - some Q's about drivers and switches

    Re: Modding Maglite into search & rescue light - some Q's about drivers and switches Thanks Peter - I originally ordered it assuming there was a built-in driver but had assumed there would be some sort of documentation with it so started to worry it wasn't!

    Project ideas for my 5D Maglite

    OK - next question is, what sort of current can the stock switch carry? If I run this setup with a 50W globe I'm going to be pulling around 4Amps through the stock switch, right? Do I need to replace it with a higher rated rocker type?

    Project ideas for my 5D Maglite

    Thanks for this, it's all sound good advice except for 2 things: 1) I'm looking to do something a little crazy here (!); and 2) The 300e drop-in only suits the new D series Maglites and mine predates this so it simply won't fit. On that basis, I'm still keen to do a more DIY type mod to the...

    Project ideas for my 5D Maglite

    Hi Guys, I've got an old-school 5D Maglite (early 1990's vintage) in basically as-new condition. I also have time on my hands, lots of tools, some cash and a large dose of boredom :) So my dangerous question is this: What's a good intermediate-level DIY project for my 5D? I'd like to use...
