One more...
Repeats and spare parts are enroute for the incan ones including a slew of 9v modules for the X3. I hope to find some K2 modules at some point but aint holding my breath on that one.
The one I didn't think I'd ever find, much less real cheap was the L2.
Then one day a few days ago a "this just in" thing popped up while I was casually seeking out K2 modules.
Of course by todays standards it is seen as lacking. But frankly I was pretty impressed with the brighness, the quality of the beam and the pretty dawg gone modern looking tint.
Honey colored urethane looks like honey colored wood
Played real nice with the camera sensor
Looks like plenty of throw available
This...
Is where the rubber meets the road though.
Not bad at all for such an ancient LED. Using a light like this for photography would lead to some picture tweaking on the ole computer (or in the darkroom), but digital photos shot in RAW could be easily corrected.
I'm pretty impressed with this one overall.
And as always the near silent clicky has a positive feel at on and off.
If I had any qualms it would be that batteries go in reverse with no diagram stating such.
The light arrived like this.
I thought it odd and imediately switched the new cells I put in to the norm. Click click... nothing. Hmmm maybe op had 'em in correct... yup. I figure it must be reverse polar protected, 'cause I sure threw 6+ volts at the LED in the wrong direction... several times.
I think that's going to be about it for the Pentagon collection. Maybe not.
