Show off your collection! *pics*

Dang...restoring the front fender of a '38 coupe....I was never any good at body work. As a car nut, I'd love to see the finished product!

Naaa , you missed my pun !

I dont have a wife or Girl friend ... Found them to be too demanding ..

Demanding that I stop playing with my toys .... Guns cars bikes etc ....

Here in Oz , not much too chose from , all a bunch of Socialistas !

So until I find a nice Republican ! I will just fly solo ... Im not selling my soul to be with a headache !

As soon as my camera is working again I’ll have to take my lights outside and take some pictures against the lovely vistas of Bolton.
Obviously I’ll have to have them all turned out to fight the overwhelming dankness.
Fishinfool, I think secretly we all hate you a bit now :stuck_out_tongue:

C'mon now, can't we all just get along? LOL

I think my next pictures will be of Mauna Kea in the background or maybe one with waterfalls in the background. Probably not for a long time because it took a half a day just to take the pictures above. Too much work.

You know you are the King of Flashaholics when you have almost 200 flashlights!

I just went looking and I can only find 126 lights in this room. There are others - but where they are is anyone's guess. Ah, just spotted 4 more. Make that 130 lights. I've given away/broken/lost most of the BLF Cheapskates DeLights so that is probably around the true number - not counting the squeeze lights that I probably have 20-30 of knocking around. Just spotted another one - up to 131 plus whatever is in the car.

I tried the stuff from BreakAway. My PC isn't powerfull enough for it I guess lol. I also bought a low latency sound card for BreakAway live but everything just had a slight delay in it and it drove me nuts for monitoring live audio. It is some incredible software though.

I got 4 or 5 pieces of cheap gear I use all dumped into my balanced modulator that works pretty decent.

You should have a flashlight hunting day kind of like Easter when kids go out and hunt for easter eggs but in your case they search your house hunting for flashlights. Laughing

That was some genuine fun! Thanks for the laugh to all.

I left out the Solarforce Skyline 1 as with the stock driver it doesn't perform well with an 18650 - it needs 6V which is also its maximum voltage.

Twenty-eight 18650s are needed to fuel that little lot.

And here are their holsters. Must go out and get some black dye for all those camo holsters.

And here they all are on a belt which is slightly longer than my waist. This lot with cells weighs about 7kg (15-16lbs). Runtime ought to be quite a long time if I use them one at a time.

Their light-emitting bits. ROP High, ROP Low, SST-90, 400 lumen showerhead, ROP High fed by two 32600s, Low-power LED replacement bulb. Runtime is measured in weeks. 3C Streamlight Twin-Task clone, triple K2 made by Elektrolumens.

CR123 lights. There are a couple missing - a Nuwai 3xCR123 light with a Luxeon V which was the monster powered multi-die LED of its day - and the Mr.Lite LT3 that I forgot about since it was on my belt.

AA/AAA/CR2/Strange cell lights. Far too many for a picture of less than 4 acres to make sense.

Snap I have the same light, the 8th one from the right, Mine uses a cr123 and has a Luxeon led

I had two of those - both with Luxeon 3s in them. One of them was fearsomely bright. The other one (Needless to say, the surviving one) wasn't. The light two to the right of that was my first light with a driver in it - the back of the reflector shorted it and killed both the driver and the LED. It has a rather odd ProLight 3W LED in it and a couple of resistors to tame the current.

Don I have 2 as well one I have swapped for xre r2 and it was bright but only for 10mins .

Just playing. Took the 2 minute values for several lights, added them together then collected the lights and pointed them at the ceiling. The room sure was bright - the torches were providing all the illumination.

Ceiling

Opposite side of 3x3.5m (10x12') room

I know, the room badly needs repainting..

They are not many but I call them my babies

You have very beautiful babies Aleister. Smile

SDome lovely babies there!

...but that would ruin the continuity for your ceiling bounce testing! :P

:P
