What did you do today?

Today is too early but last night I spent a couple hours working on a new pill for lights I plan on selling. Here is what I accomplished in that time but I'm sure any following ones will go quicker. If only I had a lathe life would be much easier! :P

As for today so far, I did clip a lanyard onto today's carry light and put it in my pocket.

Aww, shucks! Twarnt nothing...all I did was clip on a lanyard. :P

Today... I actually used my SRM 763, thus justifying the purchase!

... I used a $10 knife to cut a $10 sandwich, sadly.

Nothing...trying to recover from last night.:Sp

Today,let me think,nothing special....

Made extra money at the second or is it my third job. regardless made a little extra cash preparing for this child that is coming in oct.

LOL.. I wouldnt mind that at all, my boss (she) is a hottie!!

Carrying the ex11.2. With a cr123… (at $ 12 a cell)

finished my ultrafire c2 with xm-l t4 and 8amc kd driver (set to 3 modes), had to remove the driver spring and cut the spring in the tailcap, but it's working nicely and I love that thing

Took an xray of my ex11.2. Eating lunch right now, will collect xrays soon

Last night I completed the head work on another custom micro maglite.

Went outside :O

Got some beamshots, more literally...

I spent an honest two hours trying to get my free Ultraifre C1 host from Dino Direct to work. The clicky switch was a catastrophe and required extensive modification before the light would work very aggravating. The final result is a working light with a tail cap that doesn't quite fit right with a 1-2mm gap from being able to screw all the way on. Had I paid for this light I would have sent it back because the switch was junk. This took a lot of time away from other projects i had planned on working on.

Classic Flashlight trick...

From Left = Legion II sst-50 (neutral tint), M60R SST-50, Predator XP-G 5A tint, 120P XM-L 5 tint.

The Legion is more of a thrower, but has a narrow spill.

Janko did you have this problem with the C2 build like I did?

I had to answer the question my wife asked, "Did you buy something from DealExtreme?" I said yes and she said "OK cool, just wanted to make sure it wasn't fraud."

Now my ex-wife, she would have thrown a fit saying "You don't need another flashlight!!!"

That's why she is my ex and I love my current wife very much.

Those of us in AZ know of an annoying bug that is only annoying in the summer, I think they are called Cicadas. They make a LOUD buzzing sound constantly in the trees. Well tonight I decided to see if I could actually "see" them in the tree so I broke out a 700 lumen light and lit up the tree. Instantly the buzzing sound stopped! I turned the light off and the buzzing resumed. Turned it back on and... silence. Hmmmm... I may be on to something here. Apparently they don't like light. Which is odd because they also buzz during the daytime. I'm gonna have to experiment with this more.

After the SkyRay debacle, I figure I'd have a modding session to clear out the negative energy. :) So I managed to mod my 980L to a T4 XM-L with 5 tint (not sure which bin exactly) and change the driver to a NANJG 105c. The light is now entirely reasonable and not the complete madman that everybody loves (tentatively). :p

I also took my new Ultrafire MCU-C88 (its the triple AA light) and swapped out the Q5 and driver for a T6 3 tint XM-L and a 105c. Now THIS is a light! It has a tighter spot than the 980L and has a pill with MUCH more mass. I'm getting 2.7A from 3 Duraloops and I'm considering putting in the UF driver from the 980L because its so well heatsinked I think I could give it more. I'm surprised they haven't made an XM-L version of this yet.

Nice .
