    Pocketable LEPs - Acebeam W10 Gen 2; Fenix TK; Weltool W1; etc

    @3_gun i just meant I don’t need the throw champion of all of them. It isn’t the priority versus other factors. I do want the throw to be at least okayish for an LEP. @LaGgY_42o is the TI ant have a good UI? I read an early review that said it was bad but didn’t comment between the two. I...

    Pocketable LEPs - Acebeam W10 Gen 2; Fenix TK; Weltool W1; etc

    I think I have watched every single review I could get my hands on. And I gather that it is a relatively new space and probably a lot of them are using the same emitters. I don't need 10km of throw. I would like something that has long run-time, decent color quality (recognizing it isn't going...

    Convoy S2+ punching in the positive terminals of battery - should I worry?

    I have to assume that given how popular Convoy is, that it isn't the flashlight design.

    Convoy S2+ punching in the positive terminals of battery - should I worry?

    You can see in the attached pic, the Murata cell I have now has an innie instead of an outie? This has happened in a couple of the Convoys I bought... Is it this particular battery and how it is built? Or something else. Should I worry or just stick some foil in there to take up the gap that...

    Thanks Katherine - I can include a front picture, but haven't attempted to take apart the light yet to get more details on the internals. https://imgur.com/a/JWuoIbN

    FIrst project - how to update my desk lamp

    I've had this fancy clamp lamp for a while. It is LED with a rotating dimmer on the back end. Light quality is okay, but not amazing, and I would prefer a more broader optic. The barrel is 4.5cm in diameter and 9.5cm in length, and the optic is 3.5cm diameter. So plenty of room. There is a...

    Serious art/display lighting

    I have a couple of walls where I am planning on putting a mix of art - some photos, some oil paintings, etc... Been trying to read out museum quality track lighting, but it is pretty obscure and difficult to sort out. I've found two providers: 1. Lighting Services Inc seems to be the main...

    Attractive, high CRI, controllable motion flood light

    So our insurance company requires us to have flood lights on each side of the house for security. Fine. But it means every time I go outside, I get blasted with harsh light regardless. What I'd like to do is find a flood light system that uses high quality LEDs with high CRI and that I can...

    AA powered lanterns for power outages / emergencies

    Building up my disaster prep kit for earthquake country (California). I want to buy a couple of lanterns to stash in our kit, AA powered, long run times, wide spread of light. and ideally decent color quality - our current flashlights are 6000Kish and ghoulish when you are just trying to take a...

    Internal LED bulbs for Sienna

    Just realized each reading light in back has two separate lights. I think Philips are out, I would be well over $200 in led bulbs - something like 18 W5W/194/T10s, and that doesn't even finish all the lights. Hell, even Superbrightleds is crazy expensive at $6 a bulb.

    Internal LED bulbs for Sienna

    I want it all of course ;) I will probably just pull the trigger on the Philips then.

    Internal LED bulbs for Sienna

    I want to change out some of the internal bulbs in my Sienna to brighter LEDs - the cargo light being one example where when the gate is open, it is just too dark to find all that kid crap that falls in there. I want the light to still feel natural, so I am pretty drawn to the Philips X-Treme...

    Modifying stock Chrysler minivan flashlight

    I like this idea. Part of the reason I am doing this is just a learning/practice project. So I just need to sort out pieces to put it all together and figure out how to get it all to fit. I have some Nichia 219 stars and Supertex CL6 controllers for them. I am thinking I could dremel off the...

    Modifying stock Chrysler minivan flashlight

    Seems like there is about 9mm height available for a flashlight head. So objectives are: (A) Maintain OEM flashlight case shape so it snaps right in. (B) Maintain OEM charging capability from car (C) Get much brighter, broader output So basic plan is (1) Get a larger battery and controller for...
