Default Flashlight temptation

I was in Dollar General. The flash light aisle
had a one D cell (I know, only one of those
one D lights I've ever seen) flash light.
LED, looks more like a square Cree emitter
than a bubble end LED. Comes with one carbon
zinc D cell. Size is about the same as the old
two D lights that were all over the place when
I was kid. Price $2.50. I'd love to buy one,
but money is tight. And it would just come home
and sit. I have enough lights to do what I need,
at present. When money loosens up a bit, maybe
I'll buy one "for testing".

Shut down your INTERNET service and use that money
to buy a case of lights.

Your name is well chosen.


Because I asked a question about $2.50? If you're that uptight about a
simple question, then you should stay away when I'm a real prick.

Yes, believe it or not there are a great
many people who have almost zero discretionary funds. Every cent they
earn is earmarked for absolute essentials.

Naturally this opens all sorts of political diatribe and rhetoric but
even after we sort out the terminally lazy, the products of public
education, the mentally deficient, etc, there are still many millions
of people in the situation.

I have little hope this will change; it will probably get worse. Most
of the much lauded new job creation we hear about lately in fact
represents people who had to move from skilled middle class jobs to
mind numbing minimum wage, or worse, jobs. Responsible people with
good work ethics that we simply don't need any more.

Let them starve in the streets, forced sterilization, massive
incarceration for trivial reasons, or invent a society/economy that no
one has yet begun to conceive. Your call. Might want to ask
candidates some real questions.

He is in this predicament because his Mormon brother, GOP Mitt Romney,
has outsourced all the US jobs overseas, and his GOP president, Dubya
Bush, created the 2008 biggest recession since the Great Depression.

I saw one of these somewhere, probably Dollar General and was
wondering how they powered the LED from a single 1.5 V battery.
I thought about getting one since I don't have one like it which is
good enough reason, but also to see how good it works if it works and
that kind of thing. Looks like some reviews on Amazon for one like it.
I found no tear downs for one on Youtube. Pure research here... we
gotta know these things. Inquiring minds want to know.

How do you power a 1000W car stereo amplifier from a 12V battery?

power = volts*volts / ohms
1000 = 12 * 12 / R
R=1/7 ohm? (I think not!)

[For pedants, try at 14V -- and again at ~9]

Years ago, Dorcy came out with some LED lights
that used one AAA cell. Aparently, someone smarter
than myself made a voltage multiplier circuit, and
made it small enough to go into small flash lights.

Might have been Infinity Light, used one AA cell.
Not really super bright, but beats being in the dark.

My question with with the 1D light from Dolgen, is it
bright enough to be useful?

I may end up buying one to find out.

The reviews answer some of my questions. Don't
ever drop the light, and about 2/3 as bright
as a three LED light. And the ones with the
slide switch (like Dollar General) ones don't
work very well.

Thank you, that's very useful. My liklihood of
buying one just went way down

And help him buget - and mabee kick his ass out of the trailer to go
look for real "work".

I know it's nice to be your own boss, but sometimes even a small
"paycheck" from "employment" is better than starving from your own
lack of business.

They use an active voltage boost converter - like an "amp pincher?"
circuit that allows you to get the last little bit out of non
-rechargeable batteries.

It converts 1.3+/- volts to the 3 or 5 or whatever required to light
the LED as well as (on the good ones) limiting the LED current to a
safe level.

Now, "the powers that be" and "the men behind the curtain" have safe

The way inflation is going...That scenario could very well happen and
soon for fixed income people. $10-$15 per hour minimum wage won't cut it
now, It certainly won't cut what is coming soon. I suggest that the
Mormon buy some seeds and start planning his winter meals now!

Been a while, but I've heard that the US gov says
there is no inflaion. But, that consumers are in
real pain due to increased prices, and smaller
packaging portions at the store. I've noticed some
items have shrunk, over the years. Ice cream went
from half galon (two quarts) to 1.5 quarts. Other
food items have shrunk, also. Pound of spaghetti
now contains 13 ounces, in some packages.

I don't have enough acres to plant much of any thing.
But, the concept is so true. We may be at the point
of needing victory gardens.

saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel
a first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third,
Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of
hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the
laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel
and administer in the ordinances thereof.

6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive
Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and
so forth.

7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions,
healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is
translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word
of God.

9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal,
and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things
pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the
restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be
built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally
upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its
paradisiacal glory.

11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the
dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege,
let them worship how, where, or what they may.

12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and
magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and
in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the
admonition of PaulWe believe all things, we hope all things, we have
endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there
is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek
after these things.
========================

God the Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost.
You, the gentle reader, can decide for your
self if that sounds polytheistic. Or Christian.

Didn't really expect to light up the board
this much. This thread is likely to be on
Bad Golferman's list, next month.

Maybe I ought buy one of the lights, since
there is this much interest.

Been a while, but I've heard that the US gov says
there is no inflaion. But, that consumers are in
real pain due to increased prices, and smaller
packaging portions at the store. I've noticed some
items have shrunk, over the years. Ice cream went
from half galon (two quarts) to 1.5 quarts. Other
food items have shrunk, also. Pound of spaghetti
now contains 13 ounces, in some packages.

I don't have enough acres to plant much of any thing.
But, the concept is so true. We may be at the point
of needing victory gardens.


Don't worry!
We'll all be living in the company dorm soon and we'll have plenty of fish heads and rice to eat.

Money is tight for $2.50?

Your name is well chosen.


Because I asked a question about $2.50? If you're that uptight about a
simple question, then you should stay away when I'm a real prick.


It has nothing to do with whether I'm uptight. It's about the intent
of your post. Nice attempt to shift the goal post.

No one thinks it was an honest question. Either you accept what
Stormin' wrote or you are calling him a liar and taking him to task.
Or putting him down because he is poor.

Your style and your chosen screen name both show your intent to attack
targets of convenience on whatever basis you can drum up.

Now, be a man, step up, and take on the issues I raised - or be
written off as a troll.


Wow, you seem to know everything about me. I didn't realize you were the
spokesperson for everyone and SMs personal bodyguard.

You have no idea of my intent. SM answered the question and I'm content
with it. I have no idea what he does for a living or perhaps retired or
whatnot. I'm surprised that $2.50 is substantial for some people.
Though, I owe you no explanation.

Frankly, I don't give a **** what you think. Put me in your troll
killfile, stop whining about your uptight issues and **** your
self-righteous hypothesis.

Shut down your INTERNET service and use that money
to buy a case of lights.

Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those
newspapers delivered to your door every morning.

Since our most recent presidency and our

many more such attacks. Especially since
the Oh Bomb Us presidency has greatly weakened
the military. Replaced our fighting ability
with sensetivity training. So, yes, I can easily
imagine the next world war taking on and defeating

That is the sad thing. You seem to have little understanding or
sympathy for what life may be like for other people.

It surprises me that you say you are surprised that someone my not
have $2 to spare on a lark. It either shows you are looking for a way
out of being called on what has all the hallmarks of an intentional
zinger or else you are truly out of touch with the way things are in
the world.

"meanie.brat" sort of gives us a clue which it is.


....and I'm not surprised at your uptight name displaying your desire of
self appointed savior attempting to direct the path of others to believe
and act as you. It clearly shows you are truly out of touch by
overcompensating for your lack of supremacy and recognition within this
"me" society.

I have little sympathy for self-righteousness. Now killfile me or STFU.
