Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

What you will need:

* A Sylvania LED Flute found at Lowe's, Home Depot or, if the outdoors is too adventurous, Amazon. Roughly $10.

* About 30 seconds.

---------------------------

Here's the LED Flute:

Here's the top of the Hali with foam in it:

Shove the flute in there (that sounds so dirty). It will be nestled against the little lip (which is where the latch ends). May sound confusing, but you'll understand once you put it in place (Note that you could get all fancy and mount clips and stuff, but you really don't need to... it stays in place perfectly. Also, bear in mind that if you do want to affix it, don't do so permanently... you're gonna need to swap those batteries out at some point):

It's a little push button, independently powered by 3 AAA batteries. Angle it a bit so it is directed at your cigars. Being that it's a cylinder, that's easy to do:

Here's a pic of it in a pitch black room (no flash in the picture, either):

Done. No more carrying around flashlights and rummaging through your cigars 1 handed.



This would work on any travel case, all I have are Hali's now, though, so I can't test it on other ones... you may need to get little aluminum clips and cut the foam (if you even have any in there) or it may be able to wedge in there like this.

Gonna paint it baby blue to match the Halli?
;)
Good solution.
I put an LED version of a lightstick in mine, Sylvania brand also. Yours is much more elegant of a solution.
Oh, and I like yours quite a bit better.

I suppose I should actually herf more often. But I really don't like people.



You need a step 4. Grab a cigar and smoke it while admiring your hard work.
Tell the significant other it took about 2 hours to install custom lighting, she will be impressed.

You are a freaking genius, Dan! I dig it! :banger

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

This one is LED. Possibly the same as yours...

Come to Shack this year, dammit! :D

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Oh... if you wanted to change the color of the lights, just get some colored cellophane and tape that shiz on... :tu

Going to Homedepot tonight..........

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Very cool Dan, although all the BABOTL are good about paying their power bills, so we have lights at our herfs, but next time I'm in upstate NY I'll pick one up...
















;s :r

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

:tpd: I dont often herf in the dark but if I did....:sh

Lookin good Dan. :tu

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Hahaha... The cigar bar I smoke at is dark as hell. Also, Shack gets dark especially under the tent or at the edge of the pier late at night (which, by the way, is the most relaxing damned thing in the world).

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

QFT. :) :tu

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

I am going to put one in my 40ct caddy this weekend, thanks for the tip :tu

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Take a pic of how it works and fits if ya can... I'd be curious to see how other people are doing it.

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Sounds just a hint perverse. ;)

Great idea, Dan! :tu

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Bic lighter..................................Or a small LED flashlight POSING as a cigar. Of course
you don't have to root around for either one.

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Hahaha... by this I meant installing the LED flute in other cases. For perverse, see the original post:


:D

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Thanks Dan! Love this post!

I'm painting my LED lights Gold

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Well done, Dan!!! :tu

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

We Happy.




(I thought of this too.)

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)
 

Nice lighting trick, Dan. Simple, low cost and no physical mods to the case.

Have you been on an airplane with the light? TSA is a funny beast, at times.
