    Longbow Micra vs Arc LS

    [ QUOTE ] luxlover said: Your statement is "partially" true....... According to Scott Ashby of Longbow USA in Arizona, only the Micra with a twisty tailcap has been tested to meet the 250' depth rating. The reason that the clicky was not tested, is that the water pressure would keep the light...

    Cool Inductor Selector Program (Excel Spreadsheet)

    hi guys, This might interest all those circuit-hackers out there. Its an inductor selector spreadsheet - you punch in the switch frequency, in/out voltage, output current and ripple, and the spreadsheet tells ya how much inductance is needed and the required current rating of that inductor...

    Questions about the Longbow light.

    Lithium Battery Warning

    Hi fellas, here's my 2 cents worth. It seems to me that Li-Ion cells are generally safe if: - They're used with a proper matching charger that prevents overcharge and charges them at the correct rate. - Used as a single-cell pack only (and not a multi-cell battery pack, or a bunch of loose...

    Lithium Battery Safety Reference Thread

    Hi fellas, Here are some lithium-battery-related links I think are interesting and informative: Do flashlights REALLY explode? Yup, the US Govt says so right here: exploding flashlights And yes, its hydrogen gas buildup that did it. Hydrogen produced by discharging alkaline batteries, that...

    Lithium Battery Safety Reference Thread

    I am no battery expert (and there's no script for me to play one on TV), so feel free to reject/argue/counter-propose/dispute/contribute whatever you read here. I only ask we keep this flame/trollbait free so that the thread remains impartially objective, and hopefully, useful. When do we have...

    Lithium Battery Safety Reference Thread

    First, I'd like to issue a 3-times-round-the-stadium WaVe and rousing cheer for Sasha, who managed to pull off one of the best software update operations I've seen in recent memory! Thanks, Sasha! The improved UBB speed is likely to be appreciated (certainly by me, anyways) for what is to be...

    McLux - Supercharged!

    Heya, fellas. Thanks for the interest shown - its good, but not quite "critical mass" level yet. My posts were feelers anyway and I did get the decision-making info that I needed (yes, I counted everyone who contacted me one way or another for these head). I wish I could say that this project...

    nx05 improvement

    I'm with Icebreak on the "atmosphere" requirement where the NX05 is concerned. The NX05 seems to work on total internal reflection (TIR) and for that to take place, the refractivity of the material must be precise. The air/plastic interface of the NX05 cone is a pretty precisely balanced design...

    New Luxeon N Cell Light

    What I think is neat about this light is that its probably likely able to use even AAA - or dare I suggest - button cells - with the appropriate adapter(s) later! Very cool stuff, Lambda+Arcmania!
