NightHawkInLight | DIY Spotlight From A Flashlight @Nighthawkinlight | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 12 hours ago
This project is quick and easy to put together, yet really impressive. Even more so in person than in the video. The flashlight I used for this video is a ThruNite TN12. It's awesome. Links to check it out are further down in the description, so click 'Show more'!
Thanks to ThruNite for sponsoring this video! I bought the TN12 for myself because it truly is an awesome light that I'm very happy to recommend. It's a high quality flashlight with a great price, thanks to factory direct sales. You can check it out in ThruNite's official store here: http://www.thrunite.com Or in the ThruNite Amazon store (Links to ThruNite Amazon stores outside the US are posted further down): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEWOCP0
With this flashlight conversion I was lighting up trees as bright as day at 300 yards and further. By adjusting the flashlight's position on the block the light can be made to focus to either a narrow beam for maximum range, or a softer spot to provide more even lighting.
The makeshift bat signal shown later in the video was created as an afterthought to the main project and it really turned out great. That could be a fun one to use around town.
Parts:
(1) Flashlight (I used the ThruNite TN12)
(2) 2x2 Inch Planks (Approximately 30 inches in length for the base, but the focal distance can vary depending on the lens. The second block should be as long as the flashlight used.)
(3) Large Magnifying Glass (Mine was 5 inches in diameter)
(4) Velcro Straps (Or large rubber bands)
Optional:
(5) Black Spray Paint
(6) Tripod
(7) Nail
(8) Craft Foam/Cardboard (For cutting shapes to project in the beam)

![How To Make Rope From Grass [Easy Method] - NightHawkInLight](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DljWyRQFrNc/hqdefault.jpg "How To Make Rope From Grass [Easy Method] - NightHawkInLight
Rope is one of the most valuable items to have in the wilderness, and this ancient method of creating it produces very good results. Even today some commercially made ropes are wound with the same process. Other natural fibers can be used to create rope (some being much stronger than grass), and this method will work equally as well with any other flexible material. Grass does tend to become brittle when dry which could weaken this rope, but even then it does maintain some strength. In moderate humidity weakness from drying should not become an issue at all.
Note that for best results, each of the two tails of the rope should be twisted an equal number of turns as theyre wound. That will ensure that the two coils wind around one another tightly and in a double helix pattern. If one side is twisted less than the other it will tend to stay straight, while the more twisted side coils around it like a spring. When I first started winding the rope in the video you can see I didnt do a very good job twisting both strands evenly for the first few inches, and one side was coiled more than the other. Try to avoid that, as it will be a weak point.
