Maglite Flashlight Hack

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Despite the many flashlight hacks around these days, which often seem to pack tons of candles in a very small package, I have always remained a fan of the Maglite and its doubled use as both a light, and a weapon. If that wasn’t enough for you already, look into this tutorial video by Instructables user jayandersons in which he will show you how to pack a little extra punch to your ol’ Maglite. About 10X more punch to be fair.

Flashlight Hack (softstart for longer life)

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

I was browsing through hackaday.com and they found this really simple flashlight hack for soft starting your flashlight to help reduce the wear on the bulb hence extending the life of the bulb. The project is by Reinhard Kopka and it is a very simple circuit that you can build, most likely from spare parts, and easily embed it into your favorite flashlight. Link to project….
