6. Quark Ti (flame anodized, blue/purple/brown/gold/bare XP-G R5)
7. Ultrafire WF-008 Recoil thrower (added aluminum foil for heat transfer)
8. ICON MODUS I (XP-G R5 direct drive with 0.5 ohm resistor ala Electrolumens DeCree XP-G, ~230 lumens) [#002 - click for details and pics]

On the way (or not made yet)
1. Electrolumens DeCree XP-G (custom driven for me)
2. QMiNi CR2 warm white (XP-G Q5-7A3/7B4)

Wished goodbye to
1. Inova T1 (sent for warranty but never made it back, miss u dearly)
2. Quark AA neutral white (XP-E Q3-5A, miss you dearly too)
3. Tank 007 M20 Magnetism (rebuilt, brown tail/orange body/gold head XR-E Q2-WC)
4. Inova T1 (bought from CPF, hope new owner loves it)
5. ICON MODUS I (in pristine condition, please love her lots! =D)


Yay! I've listed them all! Will update here so easy!



P.s. stock = boring =D

edit: Yes! I gave away my other MODUS! It's safe from being gutted for now. Down to 8 Allan and David!

BREAKING NEWS!

OUR PRESIDENT HAS JUST BEEN POISONED BY A LYN & CPF MEMBER!

Poor president's wallet is now slightly lighter. He's also pretty stoked about being poisoned.

Mr. President, care to share your story with some pics? =D


I have absolutely no idea. Like I always like to say,

You probably know as much or more than me. Heh~

Aha! 4Sevens WARM WHITE (not neutral) now (might be) released. You can see my thread for more info hehe.

Will you do a 14500 run-time test too? =D
Put it in water then you can test it's waterproofness as well! =D
Lol.


We should poll money and buy him one unit! Ahahahahahaha!!

Add a resistor to the tailcap. Value you have to calculate or you can use trial & error.

Bridge the connection with a resistor so that when the switch is off, current will flow thru the resistor, getting you a low mode. When the switch is on, it will be driven in the normal "ON" mode. Loosen the tailcap to off the light. =)

It'll be sort of like my LD10, but simpler.





Pseudoblue: can check with you something (If you can test for me). When the battery is very low and you off the light, can it be turned on again?

Thanks!
Walter

Haha, sorry. You're out of luck =(


Depends on ur application.

If you want to blind ppl, cool white is the best.

NW is very soothing to the eyes so it's nicer to use.

I have not seen a difference in rendering outdoors (trees/branches). It still looks dead and very 2D.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY!

Hi guys! I just took apart a spoiled mouse and "harvested" the resistors out.

And here is an amazing discovery!

A 50 ohm resistor, run in series to the Fenix E10 will net you a lumen rating VERY CLOSE to my 47 123^2 moonlight mode.

That's ~0.2 lumens with a ~1.42V Ikea alkaline. Unfortunately, the circuit will not power by itself. It has to be switched on max 1st then to moonlight.





Can we say 2 mode twisty.
55L general mode
0.2L moonlight mode

Wee!





OK, time to harvest more.

Added on April 16, 2010, 3:48 pmSince some has shown interest,
If you guys wanna do this, drop me a PM. =D But do it quick yea?
I'd laser engrave his nick on it too! Mwahaha!


I'd say Li-ion is FAR brighter than that.

If the Fluke and Fenix is to be trusted, crunching some numbers tells me that the Rebel is driven ~190mA with AA.
I'm assuming a lot of things here.
Li-ion is drawing >1A at tail. Should be somewhat direct.

Crunch numbers, holla holla holla,
If AA is 55 lumens, then the Li-ion will be ~175 lumens.

Now that is kinda scary

Congrats! I say you deserve a WARM white light for your efforts.
What time will you be there?

I don't think the S1200 will be a crazy thrower. Then again, what do I know? I have no experience with the SST LEDs. =D


My est. is 175 lumens for the E10. It is drawing around 1A. =D

OMG you have 4!?

I know I know! 2 has nice-ish beams and 2 has not so nice-ish beams. =D

VERY nice! Heh~ Is this the bezel I got for U or another one? Looks like a different one right?

Hi! Just found the tint difference between the cool and warm whites.

Roughly only la since it's a slightly different tint.


(From CPF)





**We still need more to get newspaper's warm. =D**

I have no idea. Check the color temp. of incans. This warm should be close to 3100K. It should be warmer than overdriven incans tho.


Ur right. =D


R U kidding? He's the [insert whatever appropriate word here] who got me into so much trouble!


Hahaha! The poison master strikes again!
I love my kit lens. =D

It's in the forums. Hehe. David says that G500's are in production.
S(the big one) is almost ready for production. Pre-production cmpleted.
S1200 still need tuning. =(

Haih..


Actually the prices are kinda high. 10 - 20 RM higher than gadgetworld2U. Not even counting shipping yet =(
Which is better depends on what you are looking for.
I like his website though, nice. =D

**ehem** iPod Touch 8GB
MYR 949.00

Even apple is selling for 7++ only. Tsk tsk..

Ur "Hellfighter" is so cute. It should not have a name like "Hellfighter". xD It should be called cutie pixie or cutepiefighter or something. xD ehehhee.


Try the color chart thing with an incan, see if it's better?
The SC30 is far hotter with a LiFePo than a SC50 with LiCo. =D

Hey moxie, this is not a battery problem. The TK10 can easily accept any li-ion. If 2 x 3.7V Li-ion's voltage is too high, the light will be insanely bright (for a while) then instant death.
5 mins on high should not even be close to an issue unless the light is already hot to begin with.
This is definitely a problem with the thermal transfer of the LED.
You can ask CEJ what to do about it or look for gadgetworld2U. Beg them to help you. Heh~


Don't forget my LD10. =D


Nice pics, heh~ Stop saying it's not nice xD


GWEN! Where are you!! This is calling you!!

Field testing the MODUS!

Good news:
This thing has a heat sink! The metal inside conducts to the metal in the body of the light. After running on high, the inside gets hot!

Bad news:
There is nowhere else for the heat to sink to as plastic is really bad at conducting heat. The battery gets hotter than the outside of the light.

I conclude the holding and not holding the light makes negligible difference. The head does get warm so I guess it helps just a tiny little bit. Run for 5 - 7 mins without problems. I think I'll want to limit it to 10 mins run, max.

Next to test that regulation thing. Maybe it will help the light keep cool? I've never seen it step down!!

Uh oh..


=D

Not that I know of, sorry. I'm sure someone could help bring it in. =D





MODUS update:
I have killed the driver. It no longer has a boost circuit or PWM. It no longer runs on alkalines. Only li-ion direct drive. =D

1 mode only left.
