You talking about the modified First Alerts?
I have no idea. :lol
I think I've read somewhere that they had wires running under their sleeves and a battery pack hidden somewhere for those to work.
Not the same one.
Correct!I remember hearing the same thing. I think the functionality changed over the years as I seem to remember a scene in DS9 where they had a supply wall of these lights and someone took one out and turned it on.
Correct!
DS9 - 3x07 - Civil Defense
Well, they either changed the way the light worked or the sleeve/wire thing applied to some other (smaller?) version, maybe this one:
-----------------------------
The one above was made from the ready light head but it was cut down in the center of the body to make it smaller this light ran on (5) 9 volt batt. and 1 quartz halogen bulb. It had a custom bulb holder of silicone to help keep the reflector from melting, but it did any way.

Do you refer here to the head being removed from the rest of the found flashlight or do you mean the head itself was cut in the center and made smaller somehow? If so, what exactly was done to the head and how big was it in the end?The one above was made from the ready light head but it was cut down in the center of the body to make it smaller
Mike, the sheer amount of info you provide and the specific details you recall never stop to amaze me! :eek Thank you a lot, that's great!
However, could you clear up the following for me please?

Thanks again! :thumbsup
I can't belive they went through this much trouble for a lamp! Tey couldn't find a siutable off-the-shelf light and just re-paint it? Seriously??? Was someone in the prop department trying to justify their job?
