Glad to hear that, Dave. Thanks.

My RC-M4, all were upgraded. One with Q5 programable drop-in module and the other two with multi modes R2 drop-in module. All are powered by 18650.

Will 18650 fit in the body tube of this light, Gene?

I guess the original bulb is incan. Can be easily upgraded with a Q5 or R2 P60 drop-in-module.

That's very nice!

Did you do the machining on it?

...I do wish there was a step by step for building these LED lights... $:-\$

I'd like to try it some time, but I know there's some circuitry knowledge in there somewhere...

Neil · **Reply #278 on:** April 10, 2010, 12:59:01 PM

It has become traditional that each time Energie posts in this thread I must reply....

Nice work

Looks fabulous as usual Energie

Do you have any pictures of it disassembled?

Benner · **Reply #281 on:** April 11, 2010, 12:38:13 AM

Bloody amazing as always

Very nice.

I was loaned a Thrunite catapult on a pass around a while ago. I found it far too bright to light the room. Then I had an idea...

And this is what happened when I placed it under my wifes hand when of full power...

nuphoria · **Reply #284 on:** July 02, 2010, 12:02:30 AM

I have been amused by lighting up my hand with a light since I was a kid... never fails!

I'm waiting on my batteries to take some beamshots of my new RC-A4 X from shiningbeam and I also have an Ultraforce L2 from DX on the way. Claims to be 320lm but I suspect it's destined for a decent drop-in

I'm told you can also do a good Rudolph TRNR impression with a couple of ITP A3s placed appropriately

I suppose that's a good excuse to edc beer at all times

Essexman · **Reply #287 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:10:28 PM

edaple17 - you must have a massive amount of lights by now, where do you keep them all? Any chance of a group pic of all your lights?

Energie - Your home made lights are fantastic, the detail is great, having started life as a toolmaker I miss using a lathe and mill.

Essexman · **Reply #288 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:16:10 PM

Enough of all these nice new lights, now for something old...

Concordia dry battery safety torches made in Cardiff Wales cira early 1900s

Some I've modded with a Cree LED

Neil · **Reply #289 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:38:34 PM

Very cool

I keep looking around the car boot sales to find something antiquated to mod but I've not come across anything that I'd want to hang on to as yet. I'm in no hurry

Essexman · **Reply #290 on:** July 02, 2010, 10:08:08 PM

All of my old lights (I have a few) have come from eBay.

The condordia above is a really simple mod, the reflector has a screw in pill which hold the Cree led and the driver. It's almost a direct swap for the std parts, I just had to have a little bit turned off the reflector to make it fit.

Drop me a PM if you want some more details of where to get the parts.

Neil · **Reply #291 on:** July 02, 2010, 10:13:28 PM

Cheers

I've not looked on ebay as that costs money; OK car boots do too but at least there I've a good chance of grabbing something neat for a quid

nuphoria · **Reply #292 on:** July 02, 2010, 10:19:07 PM

Lovely work Essexman, and great to see a nice old light put to use

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #293 on:** July 02, 2010, 11:03:10 PM

You'd be shocked if I told you the deals I've found on eBay for torches. I've picked up one of those Concodia lights for less than a fiver inc postage once. I've also picked up a Orb Fliklite for £1 in it's tin and everything! The guy didn't know what it was. It was about the first ever torch made by Lummi/Orb/Rob. It's a keeper, although they do sell for a fair amount on CPF.

Neil · **Reply #298 on:** July 04, 2010, 01:47:33 PM

Now you're just showing off

Impressive hunting there chap

nuphoria · **Reply #299 on:** July 04, 2010, 02:53:59 PM

Those kind of deals don't come up that often... nice
