Nightcap anyone?
« on: January 13, 2011, 12:15:43 PM »

World English Dictionary
nightcap
  (?na?t?kæp) 
 — n   
 a bedtime drink, esp an alcoholic or hot one 

Well, it's only 11:00 am here, so it's way too early for one of those nightcaps......

I'm actually talking about these Nightcaps



This is the same light set-up that I've used for my clear acrylic tops for years; it was time to adapt it to Maurizio's tops and to give the gizmo a proper name "Nightcap."  The light is a light designed for fishing lures (yes, hardcore fisherpersons do fish at night).  It's an integrated LED and Lithium battery....the battery life is, in the real world, about 6 - 8 hours.  They come in red, green and yellow.  for some reason, the green ones are not as bright as the other colors.  The cap is similar to the double tip top, but without all the tip hardware it only weight 5 grams.  See them at MadFest this weekend!
