I get a lot of questions on my lighting. This is a sample of one of my favorite tools. That's right a flashlight.

This was a 20 second exposure at f4
Only MINOR color and contrast editing. The light is just from a cheap little led flashlight:)

Using light sources such as flashlights or headlamps can create really fun and unique images. Direct forward light leaves little dynamic and depth to an image.

Surefire E2E Executive Elite palm-sized anodized aluminum flashlight. This thing is a beauty for throwing intense light from a very compact, light, and durable package.
Using my new Vello wireless remote control, I made a few long exposures of my kids playing with flashlights. This is Rebecca, solo.
Exposure: 7 seconds

Here's the whole thing, all assembled, with all the caps in place. YOu can just make out the extra allowances drilled out above and below the switch to make space for the lumps the wires and terminals made.
So that's the project, that's my Thermos (mkI). All that's left is maybe some cosmetic touches, like that logo, maybe some Bondo around the switch and the lip where the butt extension hits the main body just to seal things and smooth things out. Oh, and I never did fix the leaks around the plastic lens. That one I'll want to get to for sure.
...I just need an idea of how...
My spiffy 3V photo batteries and 6V replacement bulbs.
I wasted some time convincing myself there was no way in hell I was getting standard sized AAA in the cramped space available; they're just too long, between the reflector, the threads on the male half, and extra length of the battery holders, past the ends of the batteries (which would have fit by themselves, which is why I was trying that in the first place). So I needed another solution.
I had originally thought to get a small 6V rechargable battery pack and charger, the kind you see in some of the smaller RC toys. Such things do exist, but I was not able to find anything locally. I could have found something online, but a) I hate to wait, and b) I didn't want to buy something unless I could pick up and give it a test fit.
Failing that, I was able to find these batteries intended for use in digital cameras. Nice, but not rechargeable. They had rechargeable battery packs which appeared to consist of a couple of these cells bundled, but those all charged through the camera so I couldn't use them. Eh, oh well.
The charger was the hard part - If you get some odd sized batteries, you really need the matching charger. Or at least I would. Technically, you can get or build a custom charger, but that's way over my head.
But that did leave one problem...
It's a little hard to tell from these pics, but those batteries are about 2/3 the length of a standard AA, and maybe 10% fatter. Since they're an unusual size, I wasn't actually able to get any battery holders to mount them with.
Technically, it would have been possible to solder the wires directly to the batteries, but that's even more permanent hand harder to change out, and the heat's damaging to the batteries. It can shorten their life, and potentially cause it to leak, or build up hydrogen gas, and I've heard some stuff in the news about lithium batteries (which these are) catching fire if overheated.
So not being able to find or buy what I needed, I decided I could modify an existing product to do what I needed. Which foolish notion led to rather a lot of time wasted on various ugly kludges that didn't work, and more down-time after I set it all aside until I came up with a new idea.
