What lights do you have?

Post pics of your DRY build when you get the chance! :beer:

Some pictures of my DRY. It is a triple XML T6 leds powered by 3x 18650 cells. I bought the bare host and made an impressive flashlight.

Who's your daddy?

I use Artic Silver Ceramique as heatsink paste. If it is good for i7-2600k@4.7 then it is good for this build

The black spot are not burnout's. It is the reflection of the external light source.

I like! :drool:

I was thinking of buying another DRY to mod with U2 bins.

My new driver for DRY host came in today. It has 3 modes, high 2.5A/ low 1A/ strobe.
Much better use for indoor with longer runtime on low.
It is a buck driver. When I turn the voltage up, the current input will drop.

Old situation, with the diode voltage drop.

New sitution. I have to shave off few mm from the bolt. When everything is installed there is no space left in the driver area.

I have quite a few lights, but here are my two favorite looking ones.

Purple Incan Mini-Mag
Ultrafire C8. I swapped out the stock XR-E and replaced it with a warm white one.

My buddy and I used some NaOH on it to remove the bezel anodizing to give it a Foy bezel

We did a Maglite Build for my bro which you can see here

Foybezel: Mag Edition | BudgetLightForum.com

But my favorite lights as of late have been the Maglite XL200 and the 4sevens Preon 1. Two great lights in my opinion

Ah, so that's you on BLF. Good job!

 

[Fretwrecker94]

Nah that's my buddy Andrew.

I purchased a Rolfis JR30.

Uses 1AA Battery.

So, you ended up paying for your "sample," eh? I still think it's a neat light, and might be useful as a replacement for those other right angle lights that GIs are familiar with.

Well my baby is the Keygos 7x T6 I've been working on

Ordered a Fenix RC10

When I was supposed to receive my sample lights Rolfis did not have the 1AA version. Will probably not do a review because I did not receive the sample lights. Rolfis Fail

erns, have you ever seen any of the supercap powered Lights for Life lights? I acquired one without a charger, and need/want to find a way to charge it. uc3.300, I believe.

Never saw or heard of these lights. Do you have link?

5.11 Tactical Light for Life LED Flashlight UC3.300, 200 Max Lumens - Knifecenter.com

It feels fairly cheap for being a $150 light, but it's neat that it is fully charged in 90 seconds.

Found a "charger" for it, but it's just a wall transformer, doesn't include the cradle for the light, and it's kinda pricy for a 12V transformer....


Also, just noticed this, i'll have to look for it in other lights, but I wonder if we can use the lack of distortion in the reflection of the reflection of the house in the 3rd picture as a way to tell in photos whether an smo reflector is well-made or not in terms of its parabolic function...
