Hardware apparently. :question:
Another suggestion:
A hot-air soldering station to help build circuits.
An adjustable CC/CV power supply? Pretty decent ones for about $60 on Banggood.
Spoken like a true workaholic. 
I refunded leroycp.
Chain maille for the next Sorcerer’s convention…Sexy Titanium Chain Maille in sky blue, or purple, or gold or a rainbow of patterns… it won’t rust!. 
You can hang a flashlight virtually anywhere on this stuff! Just sayin… (discovered this looking for titanium rings to mount a small flashlight to a Ti gatehook for the key chain)
When I joined BLF, not too long ago, I was looking for good deals. Then I realized that the real benefit of BLF is all the knowledge that I could gain, which really excited me because I love to learn.
But the more I read, the more impressed I have become with the sense of community here at BLF. Members from around the globe supporting each other and working together towards the furtherment of a mutual interest. One might call it, enlightenment.
Oopsie, only found this now, though I did answer the PM, didn't know all this. I'm in on this and can be a source for Tiny85 drivers. Only found this thread now - cool!! TK's been a great help, and provider of much re-use 
I got maybe lights and drivers, could be fully assembled. I feel her best bet for development is the SupFire M2-Z because of it's easy access to the MCU for programming, but it's not an easy carry light - size of a C8.
Ok, just read above - about the proto SRK drivers... got some pm'ing to do. Will report back.
I really hate anything more then +1, have never used it and promise myself I will never do it again but in this one case I’ll make an exception
+10000000
Thank you, Josh!
Another good idea!
Sorry, missed this post. PM sent.
If I did not have a very decent power supply already, I would love this one:
Only disadvantage, no power supply from Banggood supplies more than 5A
Updated the OP with some of the possible ideas suggested thus far:
- tiny25 e-switch light or anything with tiny85 or
- “smart” lighted tailcap
- dual-switch light
- FET+1 e-switch light
- any of the recent new-and-improved driver designs
- Q8 Narsil prototype driver from Tom E
- hot-air soldering station
- adjustable CC/CV power supply
Seems like only yesterday when 5A would have been more than enough. For the work that TK is contemplating, I would think that somewhere between 7A to 10A would be needed - and that would only take care of today’s technology.
Hence a 20+A is needed.
If TK is up for this AMD funds are short I gladly up my $2,50 to $10 and are confident others will not mind stepping in given the extreme short period people could enter this 
I remember that TomE has done a search for an affordable power supply two years ago.
(I myself decided for my tests a EA 20A lineair power supply that can still be regarded as budget but still is a bit more expensive than the aim for this undertaking)
I know TK said she didn’t want money, but just PayPal her the donations. Here’s why…
When someone buys me something, it’s never the one I really wanted. When they give me a gift card, it goes to waste. I don’t know why, maybe because I don’t spend money just because I can. Our last 3 gifts cards were:
1 - The local bakery. ‘Today’ was never special enough for overpriced bread. It went out of business before we ever used the card once.
2- RadioShack. I like electronics, but I wouldn’t put their trash in my life for free. It went bankrupt before I spent the first dollar.
3- Sears. I haven’t been in one of these for 10 years. I should probably re-gift that card quickly.

This is exactly what I was talking about in my earlier post……… but no one seemed to agree or think it was a good idea(even TK). I stated that I thought the list ought to stay open and allow anyone that wanted to make a donation just send it to ToyKeeper……. I didnt say so in that post, but I did not mean send her cash, but to a Paypal Account. My thinking was there might be many(Like TomE) that were not even aware of the TK donation thread, because of the short time the list was open and also any new members that might learn to benefit and appreciate Tks work. PayPal is not like a gift card and it will not expire and TK could use those funds whenever she wants for future projects/supplies that have not even been realized yet and folks would also have the ability to donate more than once if they have a particular project they might want to fund in the future………Just a thought.
BTW………. NO, I dont want to be in charge of this project, so dont ask
