Dude, you live in Tokyo. There are probably thirty SMD resistor vending machines within a half mile of you right now. :D
No, we only have vending machines for flowers, birds andbatteries, and I think I`ve even seen one for drinks and cigarettes.

Click the drop-down box for other values. They have a not too bad selection, though only in 0805 size.
oh, that`s 0.5 ohm? Mmm, again the smallest I have seems like around 10ohm
Yep, that's the giant assorted pack of uselessness. :P
You now are part of the "we did that too" club. :D
Great!.. not
someone mentioned this to me, and I just bought it... left it somewhere in my closest, took it out a few hours ago.. and now realized its not any better than the spoon I just used.
edit: I found the crook here 
Naughty, naughty, Pulsar13! :p
Yes, at least I now have 400 of them :)
And it takes a while before receiving the ones I need, so I will hunt for some boards and see if I can find any useful resistors.
Edit:
I'm checking mouser.jp and they have many. But I just want to make sure if I need a 1/8 or 1/4 watt
Some are like 10 cents, some are 70 cents per piece.
Link here:
Doesn't matter for this, with multiple resistors the current is divided between them, and more of the current will go through the lowest value resistors. If it were some other application, or if you were replacing the bank of original resistors with a single resistor, then it might.
Tolerance also really doesn't matter since you're just adding pieces until you reach some arbitrary current. Doesn't matter if one resistor is .52 ohm and another is .45 ohm.
Are you sure you need 0805s? They're pretty tiny, have you measured the originals? 1206 is more common for sense resistors.
Oops, I just saw that number in your earlier post... Will search for th bigger one..
So the 1/4 or 1/8 watts don't matter?
If you can find one that's rated for higher wattage and it's similar price, sure, go for it, you may do something later that needs the higher rating. But if it's $0.03 each vs. $1.20 each... don't bother. Same for the tolerance %, if the better parts are close to the same price it only makes sense to get the better ones, even if it's not strictly necessary.
I find myself wanting a light like this, but the price is hefty and the UI isn’t really desirable.
We could use some beamshots in practical settings.
Don't you think that wall was in a practical setting?
;)
I don't know what I can do, maybe go to the little playground near my house?
No woods here.
Wow, ridiculous shipping cost at mouser!!! $20 for a $2 order.
Same for digikey, $20
That was very good, if a bit overexposed. Just meant to see it in more areas where objects like cars and trees and houses are to compare said objects to each other. I bet that warmer tint, combined with the power, really brings in some eye ease compared to the cool whites.
I understand. Hopefully I will be able to do that soon.
I use the same setting with all my beam shots... maybe I should use a different setting with lights above 1000 lumens.
Thank you for the review, nice looking flashlight!, seems easy to access the internals for modding.
Nice review.
Your math is correct.
If you want to I set it in a calculator it looks like this:
0.18÷(1÷(1÷0.24+1÷0.24+1÷0.24+1÷0.24))
I always do this and play around with adding some values and changing some to estimate what the results should be.
I have all my small resistors from fasttech, they sell them cheap in 100 packs I have R100,R200 and R500 all are very good and nice to have.
Normally it’s no problem to solder smaller or bigger types on top of the others, just a bit angled and a bigger solderblob.

1206 R100 from fastech
R100 is too big a jump in one go unless some of the original R240s are removed, which there's no point in otherwise.
