The Holy Grail of DOLLAR TREE

I think Ill have time tonight, you know ill have picsā€¦ i always do haha.

And some basic dimensions. Driver, MCPCB, Lens, reflectorā€¦.

I occasionally look on ebay for vintage lights. Like the old copper plated.

looks like its screwed together with ā€œBallā€ jar lids :smiley:

That is cool, will have to look at my local DT. Their ā€œSunbeamā€ brand Alkaline AA/AAAā€™s are the best value in disposable batteries I have foundā€¦

It looks like old school meets new tech, but done on a budgetā€¦

Ok got a few pics, be back tonight.

It has MOONLIGHT! kinda.

super beam shot.

The insides.

LEDā€™s

wow , nice light.
Have seen similar models while I was traveling through Asia before, long time ago.

Nice lil light there ! Couldnā€™t help but notice you are in Chico. Home of Sierra Nevadaā€¦MY FAVORITE GO TO ALE ! Lucky You! And you can get it on TAPā€¦.Iā€m Jealous with ENVY :confounded: !!

Now back on Topic !!

will try to get some beam shots tonight, its raining so not sure how it will turn out.

AND ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! so i might be busy later :wink:

Happy Birthday :beer:

Thank you!

That has 3 rayovac bulbs that I tested somewhere in this forum. They make the flange and non flange types. They are good bulbs and are waterproof.

ā€¦That HUGE spider scares meā€¦

10,000 china-lumens?

leds series or parallel?

lathe a aluminum heat sink up, real driver triple nichia copper pad LMAO???

Iā€™ve never seen anything close to that at any of my dollar trees, maybe at the 99 cent store if it was painted plastic.

Nebo made a light called The Classic a few years ago.

This light looks very similar to the one shown here.

Hereā€™s another chrome led light

If youā€™re handy with a soldering iron you could swap the low CRI cool white leds for high CRI and much better tint.

2300k-5800k 5mm LED 95+ CRI

Nichia sw45k, sw40, sw35, sw30

Nah make a slug that fits the i.d of the head and stuff a q8 mcpcb and reflector setup in it.
Its not a proper ā€œpolished turdā€ till you spend at least $50 on a $1 light!

what is the ā€˜driverā€™?

a big resistor?

The Nut behind the wheel who belongs to BLF that drives to Dollar Tree for a flashlight :0)

We need to see a torture test on ths beautyā€¦dropped, tossed, submergedā€¦etc.
