    L2C carbon fiber w/ 365nm UV LEDENGIN LZ1

    Mainly just cause its beautiful. Same reason I got a CF sebenza instead of regular Ti. Its not solid CF, just a thin wrap over Al. I have (no joke) over 20 solarforce P60 lego's I use as test host's for different drivers / FW's, I wanted this one to be instantly recognizable from the rest. I'd...

    L2C carbon fiber w/ 365nm UV LEDENGIN LZ1

    Ended up adding a grip / "cigar" ring since the CF is so slippery. Light is for sale ln BLF if anyone's interested.

    L2C carbon fiber w/ 365nm UV LEDENGIN LZ1

    Well now that I've had this together a night (built it yesterday) all I can say is wow, this thing is freaking awesome! First off the visible light is more than I thought it would be, it's actually useful and then there's the glow shit gives off, so bright it actually makes its own light! I...

    L2C carbon fiber w/ 365nm UV LEDENGIN LZ1

    I've only recently registered and started posting but I've actually been reading here for a while and I've taken note of that. Now I love BLF, it'll always be my home but there's only a dedicated handful of us that are doing any PCB design over there and even fewer of us actually coming up with...

    L2C carbon fiber w/ 365nm UV LEDENGIN LZ1

    Hey guy's, I'm new here. My name's dan. I run Killer Lumens. I specialize in flashlights and handheld lighting devices for first responders and LEO and also in RGB / RGBW lights and a very special device for law enforcement and private security called "pukelight". (Check out my site Puke Light)...

    Holograms finally becoming a reality: using laser images can be projected in mid air

    Appy Geek How long till color is possible I wonder.

    In need of a decent soldering Iron

    If ebay linking isn't aloud very sorry, just trying to help... I have used these for the past 6 years or so. Clone of some hakko model I believe. These are really popular around BLF, grounded and pretty percise control. Also the tips last a very long time (I turn mine on at 9am and it stays on...

    Killed diode when Mosfet on FLexMod P3 died

    Remove components and lightly sand the mask away. I do that all the time. Sure it's not usable after but way easier that probing pad's if the driver isn't to expensive.

    How do you get into designing circuits?

    Link- Eagle Video Tutorials BLF Style | BudgetLightForum.com Like I say this is how I learned tho at this point I've basicly evolved my technique to better fit my needs and am doing very little the same as shown there. One more tip for now- don't remove the bounding box (free version) like he...

    This is what a 'Star Wars' blaster bolt would look like in real life

    Neat trick, tho this guy has a camera that IS fast enough to really do it.

    How do you get into designing circuits?

    I know I'm new here so you all probably just assume I'm talking out my ass but I'm pretty good at eagle (I'm a huge contributor on BLF), and the actual PCB design process in eagle is my single favorite part out of everything I do. It's like art and a puzzle mixed together. I recommend the BLF...

    Water stream colouring?

    My name is dan, I'm very new here (just joined) but I run an established LED flashlight company that specializes in RGB lighting. No lookin to sell you something (don't have anything off the top of my head that would do what you need) but I can definitely help you get something together. Do...

    Can a decent laser pointer deter squirrels?

    Have you considered a dog? There are many better way's than trying to burn one with a laser (Im an avid squirl Hunter, usually go weekly at our property so I've "beefed" with squirls many times lol). Also have you got yourself a fake predatory bird (owl or hawk, get whatever you have there)...

    What's the best method for soldering onto solid copper heatsink?

    I've only built one laser this far but my full time job is building flashlights so I've done this a few times. What I've found works best on really large sinks is to heat the whole thing on the stove (we have a solid glass cooktop) then get yourself a nice little puddle of low melting point...

    Seriously tiny laser, what are my options?

    No reason for a huge SOIC / SO-8 package. A 6-pin PIC 10F322 (SOD-23-6 package) and an IRLM2502 FET (3-pin smaller than SOD-23 "micro3") and a pair of 0402 cap's are the only 4 components other than the gyro you'd need, I've fit all the stuff on a 10mm board (including the gyro), you could even...

    Seriously tiny laser, what are my options?

    My recommendation is forget fitting a coin cell in the watch case, use a 150mAh LiPO R/C heli cell mounted to the clasp and wires coming out of the case to the cell. This would also serve as a secondary safety as you could instantly kill it by simply unplugging the cell. How to you plan to...

    Weird driver out of cheap red pointer.

    The voltage fluxuates cause thats what a CC driver does, the V out doesnt matter, it maintains the same current level out while allowing voltage to change up or down to match the voltage the diode draws as it changes with temp, also why it works with different color (different vF) LED's at...
