Here's a video on how to turn a Solitaire into a single 10440 DD light, with a TIR optic and a Nichia 219, that will run at over an amp (depending on the battery) and be bright as heck.
That was, how shall we say, Illuminating. Despite my bad pun, I was really impressed. Nothing says “genius” like simplicity.
later edit- So, after watching the rest of the vid (I only watched the first half initially) I have to say I really admire the industriousness, especially using the Sharpie to keep your filing level.
Great Video Justin!! Your creativity in getting thigs done is astounding. I guess it’s the engineering background for me…but it seems I always need a tugboat to launch a canoe!! Nice Simple Mod!!!
K.I.S.S. at it's best! Great idea on that, Justin! I will definitely be working on that and will post output results. Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration you provide.
Those are 20 mm dia and 12 mm high. Work in a AA but not a AAA or solitaire. They come in packs of ten from CNQG. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. I have them if you need a few.
Edit, I’ve done a few solitaire mods now but I still enjoyed watching this again. Thanks OL for taking the time and having the patience to go through this step by step.
