    Mecarmy Illuminex-4 Tips and Tricks

    I've really been enjoying using and modding my Illuminex-4! It's a great little light but it does have a couple of quirks. I'm going to write up a post on some mods I've done in the Homemade Forum at some point but I wanted to do a quick piece on some fixes I've found for several complaints...

    A couple of Micro ATL projects put on hold

    I mentioned early on, in the G5 build post, that I had some side projects in mind to help fund development. Well, when you work on flashlight designs, there are hits and there are misses. I was all set to let these projects go quietly into that good night but with all the time, effort and more...

    Micro ATL G2 Updated Limited Edition

    Got the idea for this from one of my earliest customers. They had lost their original Micro ATL G2 and asked me if I could build them another. A G3 or G4 wouldn't do, had to be a G2. So I started researching what I could do for him and realized that I could actually build him an updated version...

    This doesn't happen very often but I am actually ahead of schedule so, starting the fun a day early. Alright, alright,time for some Micro ATL G5 specs! Going to dispense with the boring stuff and jump right to the pics. Early test prototype (and my constant pocket light for some time now)...

    Continuation from the Homemade and Modified Flashlights Discussion: Introducing the Micro ATL Generation 3 (sold out, at least for now) and 4! Note: Thanks, everyone, for the awesome response!! It looks like the G3s are all committed and we will be moving forward with G4 sales. Thanks...

    Micro ATL Light

    This is one of those projects I've had in the back of my mind for a long time. Finally got a hold of some equipment that let me make it a reality. Say hello to my little friend: Calling this little guy The Micro ATL (Aluminum Triple LED) Light. Milled aluminum body and top, three Cree...

    Anyone look at Spygear or other low end IR night vision?

    I changed out the visible IR LEDs in a couple of my security cameras with non visible wavelenghth LEDs to make them less visible and the image quality looks pretty much the same but you can't see the cameras at night now. Been thinking that swapping out the LEDs might also work with some of...

    Looking for really small CR123 light

    I'm looking for the smallest CR123 powered light out there. So far the smallest I've been able to come up with are the Four7s Quark Mini and the Olight !1 checking in at 63.2mm long and 20.3mm in diameter (the Quark might be a tad shorter but I don't have my " to metric converter handy)...

    My latest EDC projects (lots of large pictures)

    I've built a couple of EDCs using the X-Light Micro as a base, with small Lipo batteries and 5mm LEDs but, as would be expected, always wanted something equally pocketable but with more power. I don't have access to a machine shop to build something akin to Saberwolfs excellent Chimera but I do...

    Battery compartment heat insulation?

    Hi, I've been experimenting with small lipo powered flashlights for a while. Because of the small size, there isn't a lot of metal to sink heat to and they tend to get pretty warm. Trying to minimize the heat that gets to the battery compartment but all of the heat barrier material I've run...

    Beacon Light

    There seems to be a lot of interest in these beacon lights so I took some advice and split this out from my “modded keychain” post. I got the inspiration for these from calipsoii and his lamplighter project. If anyone is interested in buying something like this, check in with calipsoii . There...

    Modded Keychain Light

    I had one of these solar rechargeable key chain lights and have to admit, it worked surprisingly well right out of the box. It was powered by a 3.6V, 80mah LiOn battery and as long as I fed it some sunlight or room light once in a while it was pretty reliable. The main issues I had with it...

    More Low Power Lunacy

    I have to thank calipsoii and his lamplighter project for the inspiration to finally try this myself. I tested red, green, orange and blue LEDs, all running around .1 to .05 mah. Blue turned out to be the brightest by far at the same current. Final configuration; generic 3mm blue LED, a 12K...

    Lifepo4 Low Capacity Flat Cell Source?

    Hi, Looking for a lower capacity (500mah to 1000mah) Lifepo4 battery in a flat, ala Lipo style, cell. I can find large capacity cells like in the 10amp hour plus jumbo size or lower capacity cells in round AA styles but nothing in a small flat cell. Anyone seen anything like that for sale...

    Power Dissipation for FET?

    Anyone know the answer to this one? When you spec out the power dissipation requirement for an FET, do you do the calculation using true or apparent power? For example I have a circuit running from a 3.7V Lipo using an FET as a switch. I want to hit the load with 400ma. Using the apparent...

    Silicone GID Key/flashlight Fobs

    Working on GID switch caps and have some left over glowing silicone from each casting. What better to do with than make GID keyfob or flashlight fobs! These have a smooth side and a rough side from a single sided casting. Two sizes, both come with a split ring. $1.00 US each plus shipping, no...

    Homemade GID Switch Caps

    I've tried lots of different GID switch caps but have always been disappointed with their performance. Haven't any of the manufacturers heard of Glow Inc or Strontium Aluminate? Anyway, I finally gave up on trying to buy a decent GID cap and made my own. These are made from Silicone and Glow...
