Yes, been messing with them for several years. I started with DIY canister lights, modifying Maglite flashlights into light heads. I found a guy online who made thick replacement lenses. I have a few left if anyone wants to experiment. A mini lathe and I was in business. </p>

Without batteries they are pretty cheap. So I made a video light out of one and a 50w flat bulb. Turned a piece of aluminum bar to sit under the bulb as a heat sink. Also nicely holds the bulb just under the lens. Found an old, cheap Dive Rite canister designed for a regular lead acid battery. Replaced battery with Li Phosphate and that left enough room for a transformer. It worked so well I made one for Harold.<br><br><br><br></p>
