    Did I damage my brand new 18650?

    Here is a picture of the cathode end of my brand new 18650 cell. Spring on the anode, and the cathode end of the flashlight has a spring-loaded slug. Is this cell dangerous to use now? Should I replace one of the springs with a smaller one?

    Nichia NVSU233a Flashlight Build

    I forgot to answer a question you asked earlier. The UF-T20 gets warm near the neck (where the brass pill is threaded on) but it takes a while of it being on. It never gets so warm that I worry about the LED getting too warm. I've had it powered on HIGH for at least 10 minutes straight and it...

    Nichia NVSU233a Flashlight Build

    If you were to go with the NVSU333a, I would go with the UF-1405.

    Nichia NVSU233a Flashlight Build

    Nichia NVSU233a Flashlight Build

    I don't notice any annoying purple light with this LED as I do with other 395nm/405nm LEDS. I don't think I will need a filter for it. The aspheric in this host is glass.

    Ultrafire UV 400nm to 365nm Conversion

    http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?421235-Nichia-NVSU233a-Flashlight-Build In comparison to other 395nm/405nm flashlights I've dealt with, I don't really see any purple light from this LED. I don't think you would need any Woods glass with the Nichia LED. I'll be posting some...

    Nichia NVSU233a Flashlight Build

    Quick and simple. I had been wanting a nice and powerful UV flashlight in the 365nm region (not the cheapo 395nm - 405nm). It needed to have a nice even flood spill. I haven't seen enough build threads using this LED, so I thought I would contribute. So here we go. Nichia NVSU233a 365nm UV...

    2C Maglite battery spacer?

    I've tried searching. I cannot find anyone who makes a battery spacer for the 2C Maglite. I need one to fit 2 x 18650(protected). Can someone help me out here?

    Disassembly of River Rock 1.5W 2C

    I just took the top off of mine tonight. The hairdryer trick worked pretty good. Now I need to figure out how to take out the switch and driver part. The PCB just won't budge.

    Disassembly of River Rock 1.5W 2C

    So is it just threaded and loc-tite'd in there? Or is it simply glued in place?

    Disassembly of River Rock 1.5W 2C

    I just picked up this nifty little light. For the life of me, I cannot get the top part of this thing apart. Is there any secret?
