OK I apologise for not doing much(anything) but our resurrection for the new year will hopefully lead to more activity.
And to start things off for 2011 I'm gonna introduce you guys to OSRAM. What is OSRAM? I have no fucking idea what it means but I can tell you what it is.
Effin awesome...for a stick.

So how the heck did I end up with something like this? Long story short I was at Bunnings and chanced upon this innocuous looking...stick in a tube with a bright orange button labeled test

I couldn't help myself and pressed it

It's like something from Close Encounters of the Third Kind but fortunately it wasn't a probing implement
Out of the tube we have a sleek and simplistic rod(cue penis jokes) sitting in a white cradle

Its got 4 fairly intense white LEDs which gives it the eyeball raping brightness from the previous pic and that was inside the tube!

Its got a simple rubber capped push button for on and off.

Here's where the fun starts. Disregarding probing potentials, the Stick can be removed from the cradle and in the middle is a small magnet and some of you might have guessed the tube is stainless steel.

The underside of the cradle also has a magnet which lets it stick to metal surfaces and and you can reposition the stick pretty much however you want

It also comes with some screws if you choose to permanently attach the cradle to plastic or wooden surfaces but I'm gonna leave it as it is.
Here's the LEDs turned on but facing upwards away from the camera

Fairly decent if you ask me
Quality wise its pretty good and the metal tubing gives it a nice weight

Unscrewing off the other end allows you to pull out metal tube off and access to the batteries. Its run on 3 AAA batteries but LEDs are fairly efficient so I won't be changing them for a long while
