  • Hey there, I caught a post of yours from 2015 on Rods for search lights. I am looking for advise on acquiring these but not sure if I could find a buyer. Might you have a recommendation?

    Call Bob Meza at this website. He is the one who hooked me up with the seller of my light. There a Robert back in Michigan, I think that still has inventory of original, in-the-can with sawdust rods. Not cheap but they far out-perform "aftermarket" rods. I tried some aftermarket and they were far dimmer.

    Hey man o' big light! As you've probably noticed I haven't been around for awhile. My workbench exploits created some serious tension in the house and I had to back away a little.
    Then there's this very insane two weeks of desert Rat Patrol that somehow manages to keep the Death Ray in the family's good graces. That story has grown since 2 years ago, save that for another time.
    I know you miss your -1 & -3's. The offer is still good if you're ever up in the Seattle area to partake in a handling run! But please tell me what is up with the Flashlight Forum I just checked out and saw your Blitz project so well detailed?

    Hi Bob,

    I have Romisen complete. I stuck SST-50 directly on a new cooler using "Arcit Aluminia" for perfect heat dissipation. And I made a cooler from above the SST-50 from 0.5 mm Al plate. This plate also divert heat to the Al reflector.

    I have done thermal protection in Romisen by using PTC thermistor. This protection reduces power LED when heated above 60-70 °C. Maybe it's too small temperature, but I'm afraid destruction of the LED (after previous destruction of the LED on the bad PCB, but LEDs are directly to cooler now).

    When I set about 90W, the SST-50 are now very hot. And flashlight is also hot=> thermal protection reduce the performance of SST-50 => flashligh will be lit at full power for only a short (but I'll have the assurance that the SST-50 don´t destroy ...)

    Initially I thought that I make more Romisen @ 6xSST-50, but the production is very difficult ... It will be probably only one original, yours ... :)

    Can I send you Romisen@6xSST-50?
