Mike_West Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I figured out how to run the laser in my plasma cannon at full blast. I'm not even sure if it's really 20mW one and not something more powerful, as I can see the beam and it's a horrible power hog (multimeter claims it uses almost 600 mA).

Got Wood? Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I also had a gaming related smile. After I picked up a graphics card that was massively under priced. £220. £550 new, should have been £350-£400 2nd hand still Link to post Share on other sites

Alias1983 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 6 paces m&p shield 9mm rapid fire, 23 rounds out of 3 mags. Not bad for first actual hand gun shooting. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I spent all the moneys. I have a metric *fruitcage* tonne of 316 stainless SCUBA accessories in the post and various bits and bobs necessary to complete my sidemount rig. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I need a new torch. Because I'm , I have several either in baskets on different sites I'm about to pull the trigger on. I'd rather not wake up tomorrow with 6 lights on the way... Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 What kind of torch? I'm after new primary. I have a G&P R500 rechargeable which was great for years. Then I left it face down with it on and the bulb got too hot. When I noticed and turned it off, the bulb exploded. Got a new bulb and that lasted barely 40 mins before exploding and I was just using it normally. Those bulbs are expensive so don't really want to buy another just to explode. So annoying as it was a great torch before my initial *fruitcage* up. Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Streamlight is good, kinda pricy but the cost is worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm looking for a single 18650, with a silly amount of throw. Some spill though too. Really looking at the armytek predator with the xpl LED. I'm also tempted to get a cheap skyray king so I can carry daylight around in my bag Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah. I suppose. I guess I have a romantic view of incan. I like the warmth and outdoor performance. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 You can get decent warm led now! What do you mean by outdoor performance? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah. I've heard about warm LED torches. I will have to check them out. R.e. outdoor performance. Maybe it's just how I perceive the different temperatures between LED an incan but the incan seems to have better range. Better in fog and rain too. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I have a couple of ultrafire 502b flashlights. One has a straight on/off module and a remote switch for mounting on rifles, the EDC one has the hi/med/low power module. All dead cheap, and brighter than I could possibly need.

shmook Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I love Chinese torches, but QC is all over the place. Spent the afternoon fixing 3 actually so they work properly! I've got a few of the sipik sk68 copies, and they are great for under £2 delivered. They throw far for a single AA, not tried them on 14500s. Also got an ultrafire C8 which is decent for the price too. I'm after a well built one though as it will replace my fenix LD20 for duty use, and don't want it out when I may be relying on it... Incan are so dim in comparison. We were searching a bit ago for someone on the beach, and most were using 4d mag chargers which are in the vehicles. My 2aa fenix was way brighter.

Tw1tch Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Desktop, keyboard and mouse (along with a load of wires and cables hooray!) sucessfully acquired from parental unit. Will probably have to wait until tomorrow to test for life and then hopefully GPU comes in Tues or Weds (hopefully Tues so I can play games ALL Wednesday). Not sure where my monitor/tv went but my dad says he should have a spare HDMI one around, or should I go back to VGA? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah. I have a bunch of those sipik copies. Handy to have one in your bag, car. Gave to a bunch of family members. My sister told me she didn't have a torch so she got one. Need to try them with 14500s too. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It means me buying 14500s though! And a charger. Looking at the nitecore intellicharger as they charge everything. I want to use my imax b6, but would need to make my own cradles as you can't buy them off the shelf, and wiring scares me Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Shmook, there's a trick! Solder the wires to 2 magnets and you can charge any battery with a metal housing. I lose depth perception with while LED lamps. Its weird, but I actually have trouble focusing only using LED. I use them but I do prefer halogen when available. Anyway, I received my Icharger b260 ( i think, its new) and boy oh boy, the possibilities! Charge everything wirh this! Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I am home alone tonight.. Im playing a retrogame (helldivers) on ps4 online with my best mate playing a drinking game with Wild Turkey American Honey Whiskey.. I have CCR on in the back ground and im christening the new 42" TV.. Tonight is a good night! Link to post Share on other sites

I've looked at a couple of guides online, and it was setting up the balance lead that worried me. Not such a worry with NiMh but still... As for depth perception, I think it's just practice. I uses torches quite a lot - work, walking the dogs, moving round the house at night and not waking everyone up by putting the lights on, whatever - and you get used to it Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I thought I was the only one, who used a torch instead of turning lights on. Low powered of course, other wise what's the point (might as well turn the light on if I use one of my bright torches). *suitcase*, want another torch now. To Amazon . . .
