    Cree 5mm LEDs are awesome!

    John, You answered most of my questions, but one. The center of the 15 deg. amber looks like it has a small dark hole in it. Does it? I'm not very good on computers and still figured out how to use Digikey's site. I'll keep trying. Thanks, Gordon

    River Rock 6v headlamp

    Hi Bobli17, Really like your mod. Is the green wheel what you turn to adjust the trimmer? If so I've never seen one with a large wheel like that and if so can you tell what kind it is and where to find one? Asume you spliced it into cable wire or a contact inside the body. Do you, or anyone...

    Cree 5mm LEDs are awesome!

    Re: Cree 15 vs 30 degree LEDs Really like your work. Thanks. I've been looking for a good yellow or amber 5mm led with decent brightness for years. Tried many and finally gave up. The best (almost ringless) I've found was a 30deg. from All Electrictonics but it only has 3000 mcp. It's...

    Cree 5mm LEDs are awesome!

    Nichia GS "Fauxtons"

    I modded a solitaire with a CS and a 10280 li-ion over a year ago. It's works GREAT, even focuses some. Plenty room left for resister. When voltage goes down I replace res. with a spacer ( check draw with meter) I keep it at 35-40ma. Don't use it too often and charge it about once in 3mos. Very...

    SmartFire V-68C "Q5" MRV-clone - UPDATED

    Re: SmartFire V-68C "Q5" MRV-clone Hi Selfbuilt, Thanks for your review. Hope you get those problems fixed & retested, soon as you can. I plan to buy this light or the WF-600; which seems to be a bet-ter light; & a little brighter (with a Q2 bulb). I like both, but the V-68C is 3 oz. lighter &...

    So where is the Zebralight?

    What is the brightest LED light using normal AA

    Haven't posted in a while. I don't like to get in arguements, but like to share my opinion. I pretty well agree with paulr. to me it is somewhat apples and oranges. I like small brite lights. feel (generally) the smaller the light the more flood it should have and the bigger the fl. the more...

    D-Mini with over 12 000 Lux in throw

    Re: D-Mini with over 10 000 Lux in throw Thanks for your post. I might try this myself. I take it that you're using the stock reflector? also does the 6 modes still work? nice improvement. Cheers. Gordon

    What's The Best LED Drop-In For The Mag Solitare?

    Gene, I have a module from sanwich shope and it's pretty good. I did a mod which I like much better though. put in a Nichia CS U bin 5mm led. pulled reflector out and enlarged opening for bulb (VERY CAREFULLY). used a Li-ion 10280 and a spacer, no resister. it draws 40ma max. if you use a 10440...

    Mini Review of "Semilar" or 142lm Cree PR Flashlight

    Hi, Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting one. Hmm. also want to get a LOD CE. Quickbeams chart says it has 400 lux on high with 1.5v batt. thats one heck of a difference with a 10440 batt. hard to believe. it really sounds good. I asume you have a light meter? or.. Currently...

    Free.Light Spartanian

    Hay, good review, good pictures. did you do lux readings on it? I did'nt see it in chart or thread. I was ready to get P1D CE or maybe P2D (not as brite). looks like Spartanian is briter on 3.7V than P1D and weaker than P1D with reg- ular 123A. was hoping Fenix was britest. like small lite...
