40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I got tired of having to use a flashlight or nothing at all in low light situations. Here is the mod I did to correct the situation. The cost was $11 at home depot. Its 4 LED lights that run on 3 AAA batteries. This thing is bright as heck.

Thats really cool!!! You just cut the foam with a razor? Did you need to do anything else to affix it to the lid?

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

3M double sided tape. That way I can remove it if I need to replace batteries.

I have one in mine, too. Just like the one in the Halliburton in the WTS thread.
I stole the idea from Dball. :)

Awesome set up Scott. I would love to get a Halliburton Case, but the budget wont allow it right now.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Me too, brother. How I missed that one is beyond me.
I really don't need it at all, I have 6 or 7 travel humis already. One I haven't used and another is still in the box, lol.
I'm going to pimp out a Pelican Storm for out here in the shop. That way it can get dirty and beat up and won't matter.
I need to go find another light like the one you have or the one I have already. The one I have was in our pantry until I put a light in. Weeze got it somewhere, I have no idea where. Probably Lowes or Target.
I like it because it's just got two contacts you bridge with your finger, it's incredibly bright, and the angle adjust any way you want it. The thing is just plain cool.

Sweet Larry!! I stole this same idea from Dom at his herf last year, set up both my Xikar 30-50 count and my Xikar 50-80 count up with one. :tu :tu

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

That's awesome.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Nice!!! Im thinking of getting a travel humidor also. Getting tired of using tupperware

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Do you have to turn it on and off manually? If so, it would probably have been cheaper to just get an LED flashlight for 99 cents at any gas station and placed it inside the case.

Love the creativity tho. Looks awesome.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I was doing the flashlight thing and was getting tired of it. This works allot better. And yes, I have to turn in on manually. :noon

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Nice Guys!!!!

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

And I stole it from Mac for my 50ct!!! :tu

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I'm still doing the flashlight I got at Ace Hardware for a buck.. It works for me lol. Maybe when it runs out of batteries ill find another reason to waste money on this hobby. :r

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

It sure beats holding a flashlight in your teeth. :D

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I bet Scott can figure out how to rig this so it turns on when you open it :)

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Brilliant idea! I would think sticky hook and loop (Velcro) would work as good as the double sided tape. Might last longer, too.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I was thinking about the velcro, but I had the tape in the garage.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Maybe two double mercury switches and an op amp and you could get it to turn off and on correctly...hmmmmm have to work on this idea...

Keep us informed. We like cliff notes

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

I have that same lamp from A Christmas Story!!


And I am definitely stealing this idea and putting one of these in my 40ct.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

No fancy switches. All you need is the clapper.

Re: 40ct Cigar Caddy Mod
 

Jason that sounds good until a happy "toddler" comes around (clapping to barney) and your cigars start fading from LED Exposure!:)
