I got the 10 farad caps here: http://www.digikey.com/scripts/dksearch/dksus.dll?pv13=342&FV=fff40002%2Cfff8000c%2Cfffc024d&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25 

They have many other sizes as well.  I can't remember where I got my 650 F boostcap but I believe it was from a surplus place, possibly goldmine, but I have not seen them in a while.  You can find some large ones on ebay from time to time.

My modified 60W Cree LED in a Luxo Lamp powered by my surplus JT power box circuit. (AA battery)

I love this new lamp!

Wow Bill,

That's really nice light coming from there. The circuit your using, is this the same one that was used in your last post on piratelabs?

John:

Yes, it is one of those surplus flash circuits installed into my JT power box using an AA battery.  Thank you for your comment.
