Bob, A couple of questions. What are these builds...I assume two diodes? How are they aligned? [IMG] I recognize the Sanwu and Jetlaser BEs....what are the others? Where did you get them? Approximately how much do they cost? thanks Andrew

I am going to do an experiment....probably nuts....but I am going to stick a 44 in an S4...not the S4X....but the S4 and see what kind of duty cycle I might have with something so small and portable. I figure what I will do is press the diode in a 12 mm module...set it up without a...

I have been looking all over the place for a radial finned heat sink that could be bored out either for a 12 or 20 mm diameter module. The only thing I found so far would involve expensive custom work. Where did you find one?

So, I got to thinking that running back and forth to the store to pick up dry ice to cool the hot NUBM44 was getting a bit old. Paying high school kids to wave a hand fan at the diode proved not only inefficient but expensive. While what I am about to propose is also inefficient, I wonder if...

Alaskan lol....I wish I had the answer to your question but I never got one that made any sense. The guy was a sort of wanna be cowboy around 40 years old. What I was told by the police is that he and his friend made the blanks the night before by pulling out the bullets from the cartridge...

I have mentioned previously that while at a country western dance during the two and a half years I worked in an underserved area of TN, I was shot and almost killed when a guy staged the kidnapping of his wife as a joke loading a regular.45 Western round instead of the blank he and a friend had...

Everything you have said is right on point. However, in addition, I will address "religion." In addition to everything else that has contributed to where our society is today, we have lost a moral compass. There is no truth. Everything is relative. If you do not want to be identified as a...

People with serious chronic illness, especially when they involve pain or sleep loss, more like sleep deprivation, can have a very difficult time relating to others. They may become impatient. They become angry. I have seen this both personally and professionally. There was a cardiologist...

I think it best we pray for him rather than recite our collective eulogy. Where there is life there is hope. People can have all sorts of serious maladies and go through difficult periods but manage to hang in there. We should pray that it is so with him, that whatever bump in the road he is...

Redcowboy, at the same time you were having fun with green, I received my goodie package from Lifetime17 AKA, Richard. Below you can see the final result of Jayrob's mod of a 2 D cell Maglite with battery management, Lifetime17s contribution of the heat sink and adapter for the 10X Jetlaser BE...

Hey Red....nice work. How much does that MX 900 cost by the way. I was out the same time you were experimenting with my new 1 W green in the 10 X jetlaser BE....man, I really love that green! You are right on target about green. I mean everyone knows are eyes are more sensitive to it. I...

My father had an office on 5th avenue so he was able to take me to the ticker tape parade for John Glenn after his flight. I remember everything about that flight including the heat shield scare. The steps for the moon shot were worked out long before it actually occurred. As a kid, I...

What are you doing with them lol? I want one of those N465s but at 130...not yet ;)

Of course, I can always move to London and experience the real thing on a regular basis without fog machine or juice:eg::eg:

I know, I am just having my fun.

If I understand this you spent about 60 bucks on the light and then added some parts. What did bridging the sense resistors accomplice? That LED is a white light...am I correct.

Awhile ago I got a great deal on a Bush SM650. I have never used one of these before. My understand is that it uses a mix of glycerin and distilled water. The directions specify that you should only use their brand and that you cannot use heavy fog juice. I am sure there are guys who are...

While I have not purchased anything from Rick I did have an occasion to partake in an ancient ritual using a communication device that is perhaps foreign to most users. Dinosaur that I am, as far business is concerned, I tend to trust those who communicate with these devices. Back and forth...

5100 lumins...you can blind him first....then hit him over the head;) But, for 200 plus bucks, you can get a good unreliable Saturday night special. Seriously, I am wondering about something, I have not spent as much time on Candlelight forums as here, but it seems to me that just as you can...

Wow, where have I been...never saw the Budget Ligth Forums.... I have never really understood the pricing of flashlights...I mean they are just an LED driver, and case. I actually have this really cheap light called the worm I got on Amazon...one AAA bulb....had a Nichia LED that gives normal...
