    Hexbright Open source flashlight

    Re: Interesting New LED flashlight with open source programming.... Greta, thanks for re-opening this thread. This is the second time this thread has been closed, and the mod who closed it didn't even post a message as to why it was closed. This is bizarre, the only other forum I've ever been...

    Hexbright Light new thread

    Why do the threads about the Hexbrights keep getting deleted / closed? It's a fascinating project, I haven't seen anyone marketing them here, just interested people talking about it. I've never seen such actions on a forum before, this is really bizarre. Do the mods here have an interest in a...

    Hexbright Open source flashlight

    I'm not familiar with Atmel / AVR, but some quick browsing looks like that would provide a C compiler. Does that mean you guys would release a full working controller source code to the public that we could modify as we wish? That could be very cool, and far more accessible than pure...

    Hexbright Open source flashlight

    Re: Hexbright Yeah, the term "open source" is a bit ambiguous, they don't really clarify on their website. Completely open source would mean (to me), the controller OS would be released in source form, so perhaps other manufacturers/hobbyists could use it along with some off-the-shelf...

    Best way to regulate 24v -> 12v for HID 35w

    I found this one as well: http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-60-WI?sc=8&category=13 which was cheaper, and smaller, but apparently it can only draw a few hundred mA on the 12v rails :( maybe an ATX PS is not the way to go. I figure I need a solid 4 amps @ 12v on the output. Rob

    Best way to regulate 24v -> 12v for HID 35w

    I'm working on a project retrofitting a 35w HID (sams club H7) to a 1980s Tekna DV-3 diving scooter.. the scooter runs two 12v / 16-20ah SLA's in series, and I need to figure out the best way to regulate this down to ~12 volts to use with the existing ballast. The best options I've found are...

    Looking for a "small" form HID

    Curious about the Boxer 10w & 24w - is the 10w a Welch-Allyn Solarc bulb? If so, is it the MR-11 or the "bulb only" ? Also - is the 24w a Bright Star bulb? Rob
