How about a Orange Dry with a brown center :) Tutorial as well!!!

My old P7 C8:


I like the two tone effect. Pictures don't do it justice. Bezel and tube are lighter copper, head and tail cap darker copper. Even my wife, who thinks I'm insane liked the look. For some reason the head and tube on this light are glued together and no force known to me can break the bond. Anyway, the head and tail are thicker and should probably have cooked longer.

For future reference, cooked at 350 for 1 hour and only noticed a slight change in the bezel; pumped the oven up to 500 and started to see the process working within 15 minutes, left it in for another 25 after the wife started complaining about me stinking up the house. This is really fun. I can see coming up with some wild variations.

I have this host, and it isn't an anodized body; it's a rubbery paint-like coating. It actually gives the light nice grip, but I'm worried about it scratching because it doesn't seem like it would be extremely durable.

I have a few of the sorta ugly blue Saiks ....it can't be any worse

Who's gonna do their blue/grey Rominsen ?

MAX30..Did you get the asperic lens out of the sipik or heat it with the lens in it ? I can't really see the tail is that still black too? opening up a sipik tail looks like a pain ..too cheap .

The Sipik switch is pressed in, along with the lens. I was able to remove the switch and the lens by pressing them back out. No guarantees that yours is made the same as mine though. In my case, the lens wasn't glued, but was very tight, but by putting my weight onto it, I was able to pop it out without damaging it.

<edit>I have a cheap junk/incan light from Harbor Freight that is a blue anodized light. I'm willing to sacrifice that light to the toaster oven to see what kind of results we get, provided I can get this light fully disassembled... Anyone going to try their red Tank007?

Here's couple more:

L-R

  1. Super-Bright 7-2 shown earlier
  2. Smiling Shark light from MF
  3. MXDL 3xAAA light from DX

That was a bit hard to read. I managed but still amazed from a native English speaker. Just like Boaz, usually prerfect but at times he really challenge me well in uderstanding him. It's subtle however the moment you don't pay enough attantion a headache turns on and you ask yourself: What the heck did i just read?!?

Anyway, back on topic.

Anyone cooked the silvery anodized ones?

Will cook a silver 504B as soon as I find it. It ought to be in the bag of lights - currently weighing around 30kg - but it isn't. I'm also going to cook a new-style 504B because I don't like it much.

That's some heavy lighting Don.

I appreciate the contribution to the culinary BLF deviants.

Jamie would be proud.

Don't feel too bad. I'm only two states away from North Dakota and I had a hard time with it too! Tongue Out

[Just teasin' Max...]

Great line!

Pity I don't look (I used to have hair - around 25 years ago) or sound anything like Jamie. Nor do I ride a Vespa - Jamie's a ned (Well he does come from Essex (home of the ned or chav, or schemie or scally (Where the Wiki author got scallie from, I've no idea!) as they call them in less enlightened parts) so what do you expect?) who happens to be good at cooking.

Working on the hyperlinking every word but got bored. The autocorrect meant I spent a fair amount of time sorting the raw HTML. Since I can type properly, global autocorrect really annoys me.

Anybody tried cooking a pizza the same time that they were doing their light? Tongue Out Pepperoni and Ano please.

Nope. I prefer my aluminium vapour on its own.

Warning don’t do your dry , I can’t get mine to work now that I took it a part :frowning:

I’m in direct drve turbo only ,it’s bright as hek ,lol

Thanks for the encouragement , when I disassembled it the positive wire must have had a bad solder joint cause when I removed the driver it was not connected, really thin wire on mine as compared to another I saw , so all drys are not assembled equal , be careful

I tried a blue/ grey light. It went light grey. No real change.

a little less time under the flame. I couldn get the switch out of the 2100 so its still black. Its a poor photo and doesnt really show the true color, will fix later. I got the switch out

The colour is more brown than the photo shows, the 503b is bronze looking. Next one I will really cook and see how light it will go

I like the colour on that 503. Did it start out as black or olive green?
