Luxeon Star Modified Flashlights

Vintage, STELLAR Flashlight, 5 'D' CELL CHROME FLASHLIGHT, MODIFIED WITH A LUXEON STAR LED

Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but I purchased this old, vintage 5 'D' cell, 'STELLAR' brand flashlight. I have no idea how old it really is, but the box, if you can read it, says it was made in British Crown Colony Hong Kong! The box says, 'FIXT FOCUS SPOTLIGHT, 1500 FEET'. It also says on the box, 'IT SALSO AN IDEAL TOY'. Funny spelling for english words, huh?

I saw this flashlight on eBay and bid for it and won it. When I saw it I thought it might make a good candidate for a 'RETRO' retro-fitted old flashlight, to have the most modern technology in LED lighting. So I purchased it, and mounted a Luxeon Star LED, the worlds brightest LED, into the head. I changed it to use 4 'D' cells instead of the 5 'D' cells, and use a little resistance to make the battery voltage match the requirements of the LED. I am not sure how long it will last on the 4 'D' cell batteries, but it must be at least 48 hours, and then many days of diminishing brightness.

Okay, this is a rare, vintage chrome plated flashlight, modified with the most modern LED technology. It is in excellent condition! This flashlight is fully functional, and I am sure that there is not another STELLAR / Luxeon Star modified flashlight, (unless I can get my hands on another one.) Regarding the Luxeon Star LED, it is made by Lumileds. This one single Luxeon Star LED is equivalent in brightness to 18 5600mcd Nichia white LED's.

AWESOME!

This is an amazing flashlight!
