Ok, thanks for the info and pictures!

My apologies on your other thread about traffic lights. You're obviously a hands-on hacker type, and I really misunderstood your intent. Adding some Arctic Silver (or the equivalent) is a great idea for many of these light canons.

It seems there are a whole variety of different models of this light at dealextreme. I didn't spend the time to see what the differences are, but this could certainly be a handy "I dropped my wedding ring in the grass at night" light. (Yes, that happened to me once and it wasn't pretty. )

But I definitely would prefer a better balance between throw and spread, favoring throw with a bright hotspot. This kind of light creates huge amounts of glare outdoors and can be somewhat useless in bad weather.
