Here's a pic of my lovely soldering work. Mmm, flux rosin. Smell them brain cells melting. Note the heat shrink tubing over the splice. As you can see, the tabs, the splice, and the extra bit of wire covered by the tubing sticks out quite a bit on both sides, enough that I'm going to have to cut out some more around the square hole to allow for it. I might want to cover up the exposed wires later; epoxy or Bondo or something.
In which a small flashlight, its lens covered except for a small hole, is suspended from the ceiling in a fully dark room, and set to spinning, while a camera with open aperture and coloured filters over its lens, captures the action.
Took this one to be my featured image for the article Almost unlimited power for your camping or bug out bag electronics.
Even with the slack from the batteries, I still didn't want to screw it in too far, to avoid stressing the wires any more than necessary, and because I couldn't quite tell how much clearance I had between the batteries and the lump of solder and glue on the butt of the bulb. So the cap sticks out some. You can't see it very well in the side shot, so here's a better view.
Using a long exposure, I "painted" the mostly dark trees with a flashlight. They had a weird red glow, so I desaturated this shot. Interestingly, the exposure was long enough that the stars came out quite well.
Taken at Scottsdale Farm, Caledon, Ontario, on Nov. 1, 2008 as part of Rob Kennedy's "Shot in the Dark" workshop.
Still in the grove. Battery pack to the leads - after testing the pack to make sure that was still working. You can see where I used heat-shrink tubing over the solder-joints to the batteries.
Well, would you get a load of that: It lights up when I hit the switch! ::beams::
Do you see the poisonous snake in this photo?
This is why I never step outdoors without a lit flashlight.
In warm weather, the dogs sleep outdoors. Yumin moseyed over to the doghouse, to find it occupied by a qimbahu / 龜殼花 poisonous snake. He barked, and the snake slipped away into the grass. I held the dogs back, but for a moment I lost the snake.

This flashllight was left in my student dwelling my sophomore year. Over Christmas somebody broke into the rooming house I lived in and took a cassette tape deck that hooked up to a stereo system. They left the turntable.
And their flashlight.
I keep tripping over this thing at unexpected moments. I've officially thrown it out.
FBI Uniform Crime Reports consistently indicate the majority of officer involved shootings occur between 18:00 and 02:00, under reduced light or in conditions where no light is present. Human night vision is poor so we depend heavily on artificial light in conditions with little or no light. For various reasons, very few agencies issue pistol mounted lights to every officer. Firearms instructors receive little if any instruction in the tactical use of their flashlight and few departments have any kind of ongoing reduced light firearms or tactical light training.
Popow v. Margate mandated that police officers must be trained in the conditions they are likely to work including conditions of dim or no light. Every law officer is likely to encounter reduced light conditions during their shift whether it is a dark basement on the day watch or working during the hours of darkness. Tactical Flashlight Instructor was designed to meet the needs of the law enforcement trainer to create and integrate realistic training with sound tactics designed around modern tactical illumination tools for their training program.
This course will not teach you how to be an instructor. Prior basic firearms/DT instructor level training is required as a pre-requisite.
