    Sign-up thread for the MillerMods Cree Arc AAA 2-stage (Part 3)

    I've had my first MM mod now for a couple of weeks. It's everything I expected and a bit more. LEDninja did a great job summarizing in his prior post all that I like about this mod. Using regular or Nimh rechargeables is a huge plus. When the power's out and I can't recharge, this light will...

    A special project has me stumped.

    If I knew I'd be around to do maintenance on this, I'd build from scratch, use a router to create a channel in the frame, embed bare emitters mounted on aluminum bar stock as heat sinks and attach reflectors. Power options in that scenario are plentiful. However, I'm an old fart and may well...

    A special project has me stumped.

    Mr. Happy - You're right. 3 amps is high. I seem to remember that the LOP can gobble down about 700 mA. I have to go find those specs and verify that number before I go plugging them in to anything other than a battery. TorchBoy - The day will come when the heads have to be replaced. I...

    A special project has me stumped.

    matrixshaman: Thanks. Sometimes, I miss the obvious! Although I'd rather use a single power supply, using an appropriate 3.6v or so wall wart is probably the best bet and surely easier to put into play than other options. Finding one that'll pump out nearly 3A may be a challenge, but I didn't...

    A special project has me stumped.

    Backstory: I've inherited a project from a local foundation and need some help. The project involves adding lighting effects to a reasonably large shadowbox holding a memorial to friend who died a few years ago. The shadowbox will be a gift to the friend's family. The first part of the...

    Sign-up thread for the MillerMods high power Arc AAA Cree XR-E mod

    Re: (Update) Pre-sales thread for the MillerMods high power Arc AAA Cree XR-E mod Please revise my order: both lights to have the highest bin available at build time. Low at 50 mA, high at 1 watt.

    I'd like to switch to the WD P4 for now, other specs remain the same. I'll buy another with a Q3 when you have those in stock. Thanks!

    Sold/Expired === Draco Reservation/Payment === (PART 2)

    The Constant Current Regulation (350mA) Draco is a single-level light. That may change in a future revision.

    Mobile phone with good speaker quality?

    Same comments as Kanai about another LG phone, the CU500 ... but it has the camera, video and other toys I don't use.

    Sold/Expired === Draco Payment === (Shipping AA6061 version)

    Since my Draco has gone missing (a seriously depressing thing to happen), it's wonderful to be able to ask for its replacement to be a new Chrome Draco with XRE. If this is the place to sign up, please make one for me.
