Numbers and led?

[BuzzKill]

Yah know now Im gonna have to build one ......Really shouldnt be hard. I can most likely use a resisted 12v led assembly, small piece of carto or tubing and a connector. Little solder love and bam we have a screw on flashlight

Mike by my figures there should be no issues adding a 12v resisted High intensity LED. Should be fine correct? Im guessing no different than one across the connector terminals inside when making a box mod

If you make it like the terminator it will be fine .
Make sure it is in Parallel NOT series .

cool flashlight !!!!

LOL I dont have time for my day job

BTW its also adjustable brightness I havent went above 5 volts though.

 

[BuzzKill]

That is COOL !!! how much LOL

 

[Ruppy]

It cost me 4 bucks, some solder, a resistor, and 2 tiny pieces of wire. First one took me almost a hour to build as I wanted to be sure my calculations were right and that the LED was wired right. Im guessing it would take under 15 minutes to make one.

Here is where the head came from. Comes in three colors. Blue Red and Bronze. I got mine at walmart for 3 bucks
Mini Flashlight LED Keychain | Rayovac

Used a 808-901 adapter as the socket. Silver solder. 2 inches of wire a 470 ohm resistor.

I prefer " Lightfinity"

Stupid double post...... Laggy forum

Resistor in series, or parallel?

 

[Ruppy]

Resistor in series, or parallel?

Resistor is in series with the LED. It originally had a 1.5 volt source I figured 5 volts might be a bit much. The LED->resistor are set in parallel in the circuit. I hope that makes sense.

As soon as I get to Walmart to pick up another one Ill post pics of it before its assembled.

So positive terminal - led pos -led neg - resistor - battery ground

Wow Ruppy,
That is brilliant(excuse pun).
Wish I could do electronics stuff.
