you have the Turtle for 17 years

WHOA.. 17 years!? I've never taken care of any pets that long eheh Your turtle Flash is welcome to register, and he'll be sifu for high powered incans only What lights do you use for basking?

deviate from topic a little..i should be using special bulb for him/her ( dont know the sex even after living for 17 years ) but i just use regular bulb, as long as it has heat for digestion and to keep warm..i actually got it for free after helping the tawke sell off a dog..it was the size of a 50cent back then..actually the name Flash is not from flashlight, but name was given for it speed...very fast for a turtle

The tawke told me of one gentleman offering RM3K for a turtle that size ( about the size of a plate ) i was thinking of Triple SSC P7 or even a Surefire..


Back to lights...like Lightjunk i have a few stuff heading my way and parts for Tri P7, i really need this light and hopefully a cut down Maglite from wquiles. Would love to own one of his Mag 1D bore to 4 X AA...so many possibilities..

Added on January 13, 2010, 7:44 pmSell your turtle and get the M6 & Triple P7 KT4. Poor turtle. Both needs feeding though...stuff that turtle eats & batteries.

Tri P7 on the way....welcome to the Tri P7 club. You'll be amazed at the output.

i see you have a 1D Mag from wquiles....this is the picture..there is a version 2 using less parts, just a note the inside of Maglite tail cap is coated, not conductive..need sanding to make it conduct..




the spring sits deeper inside the cap and the 4 legs complete the Neg- contact at the rim of the cap where the ori spring sits...why 4 legs i hear you ask! 4 is just enough to feed my paranoia...

Please excuse my soldering skills this is just the 1st version prototype..

Forgot to ask you wouldn't happen to have an extra P7 Laying around would you?

shhh...

Thanks for the pict. Nice mod on that tail cap spring . On mine, it needs an effort to screw the tail cap completely down even with the KD golden shorty spring. Maybe I need to cut it shorter. Or leave it that way to get less resistance.

actually the tail cap spring does more than just that...if its to soft the battery will loose its contact from the top spring, test it by turning it on and taping the tail cap on palm..if its firm it shouldn't blink...this is particularly important on halogen lamps.

i experienced this on my bike lamps as they flicker when i hit a bump..

Springs shouldn't be to firm as too much pressure on the batts can ruin the top and bottom..i have proof of spring effect on battery +/- contacts.

Hello fellow flashaholics,

As per philightsophy, my LF P7 should be arriving tomorrow!! Finally after 3 months of waiting... Tick tock tick tock...

The problem with mine is that I am using 4 flat top AW IMR26500 cells. I need three 5 cent coins (yes, there is some use to it) for them to make contact. I need a slightly tough spring for positive contact.

You're right. I spoiled 1 of my batteries insulator because of the original Mag spring which I've cut/mod.

you and me waiting....

Haha, you bought 1 too? Cool..

What host will you be u using? Im using my M6..

Hi Zen|th & metalmania,

Congrats on the LF P7. That thing is really rare nowadays. Would love to see some pictures and beam shot of it.

Thanks.
LightJunk

ohhh....i have 2 solutions for you..first magnets on the + of the first cell, 2-solder the + springs so that it bulges a little but this means taking everything apart..i can make contact with my AW 18650 with the solder trick.

You can get the magnets from fridge magnets...simple and cheap try find the silver ones they are a little stronger.

Beamshots I can give... But the iso and the shutter speed thingi on the camera I don even have a clue on that...

I only know how to 'click' and capture the beamshot.. haha

I say zenith..i humbly stand way below your surefires... ..its for my humble LF SP6 only....i can tembak you with my beam shot from here to ampang...hehee..you live close to me..i'm at setapak

The 18650 has 3 dimples at the negative side. So it's ok unlike the 26500. Actually the three 5 cent coins are in between those cells. Just enough to cover the cavity on the positive side of the cell. It's being held there by the battery insulator.

A bit lost here..you mean to say the battery don't make contact to each other when stacked?


I'm look at zenith's Ultrafire 6PDL that he has posted up for sale and wondering if i will also get the 20 cent next to the flashlight if i buy the flashlight....

This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 13 2010, 09:11 PM

Haha can.. I can give you 40 cents.. Btw its not an Ultrafire my friend,
its a Surefire.. Don la call it an Ultrafire...

Hehe..so use to low end lights, my fingers are reluctant to press the "S" key...
By the way very nice collection of Surefire..fuuhhh..was shaking typing that

Just want to ask since you own a few, Surefire 6L and Solarforce, are they identical? and what are the possibilities of getting a knock off 6PDL. I ask this coz seen a few on ebay shipped from East Side of the world.

Yup. Same goes for my FM 2C host. Some say(in CPF) you will need a strong spring to make them contact but I've tried and it doesn't work.

Have a look here. Read the Special notes.

You will see the positive is flat inside the insulator. That's where the coin goes in. The negative side is flat too just like any ordinary battery.

It works for me.
