Converting household appliances into fashion flashlights to become luxury goods



When I was young, maybe everyone played the flashlight at home, silver shell, orange light, rotating lamp cover focusing mirror, watching the aperture become bigger and smaller. However, the freshness of this game will not last long. As you grow older, you may have forgotten the flashlight today as the civilian range of flashlights has become smaller.
In Chengdu, there are such a group of people who are obsessed with flashlights and spend a lot of time and money to make flashlights. They call themselves "tung oil" (tube friends). Nowadays, flashlights not only make many people "fever", but also become a must-have weapon for camping, and even enter the ranks of luxury fashion products.
In the "Tung Oil" rivers and lakes in Chengdu, "Huang Master" is very prestigious. Legend has it that he was the earliest batch of "tung oil" in Chengdu; through his modified flashlight, the light bulb is brighter, the performance is stronger, and the circuit design is amazing. Therefore, netizens modified flashlights, repaired flashlights, and purchased flashlights, all of which made Master Huang a must-have for home, travel, and fever.
Master Huang is 38 years old and looks like Sven. He has a pair of glasses and has been playing flashlights for six or seven years. In the face of various legends, he humbly swayed his hand: "My surname is Huang, and I have done a lot of work, and I have called the net name Huang Master..."
He lives in the unit's house, near the grass gold overpass. A rectangular balcony of less than 4 square meters is his workshop. The work room has an old table and Cabinet with no visible color, with solder paste, table lamps, various tools and materials.
Master Huang has done a lot of work. Chefs, fitters, mechanics, repairing home appliances, installing security systems... The rich experience of the industry has allowed him to lay a certain electronic foundation.
By chance, he found a small shop in the Chenghuang Temple in Chengdu, and began selling something called LED. The Chinese name is LED.
This kind of thing smaller than mung bean has to sell 2 yuan (the price is now as low as 0.15 yuan). This solid state semiconductor device converts electricity directly into light. Light-emitting diodes emit a stronger source of light with less power, so it is more power efficient than conventional bulbs.
“Why don’t you buy it home to try it?” In 2003, Master Huang bought several LEDs. Then he spent another 4 yuan and bought a yellow plastic case flashlight in the lotus pond. It should be known that in the outdoor specialty stores at that time, there were very few LED flashlights for sale, even if the price was above 1,000 yuan.
Ordinary small battery voltage is not enough, can not light the LED, Master Huang must do a control board. In the first transformation, Master Huang abolished more than 10 bulbs and two barrels. During that time, Master Huang continued to learn and find ways. At that time, he seemed to be completing a research paper, and he continued to make bold assumptions in order to climb the peak.
After the modification was successful, Master Huang made 100 small flashlights in one breath. Relatives and friends were rushing for it, and soon it caused a situation of "one barrel is hard to find."
"I don't think much of the package I stayed with." Speaking of the flashlight, Master Huang is like a few treasures. Most flashlights are now designed in a cylindrical shape. However, some flashlights are often designed in a variety of styles, some like lanterns and some like candles, and more interesting patterns are expected in the future. In addition, the flashlight function has also been developed to be more powerful. "This flashlight has a stainless steel head that can be used as an attack." "This flashlight is lenticular, the switch is silent, it is a tactical flashlight..."
After the earthquake, Master Huang and the netizens worked together to make a lot of flashlights, and drove the homemade flashlights to the disaster area and gave them to the affected people.



Today, Master Huang opened a Taobao shop. The reason is that too many enthusiasts come here, ask Master Huang to help themselves, and then "force" him to collect money. "You can play without spending money. This is a realm." When the "Tung Oil" people gathered, in addition to exchange and modification experience, they must also be "showing". Whose flashlight has a long range, whose flashlight battery has been used, and whose flashlight has produced new tricks. Master Huang rarely participated in these manifestations. Sometimes he looks at some people who spend a lot of money buying flashlights, but they don't understand any principles, just shook their heads faintly: "This is not a real enthusiast."


The circuit of Membrane Switches can be flex and rigid. It depends on the customer end application and also related to the cost budget and other considerations. For example, life, resistance, connection type on main board etc.

For the Rigid circuit membrane switches, the circuit is rigid printed circuit board. The material of rigid PCB is usually FR4 and Copper. By this type of membrane switch, the connector usually is the SMD connector(sometimes also can be straight through connector). For some application which need very stiff capability, then use PCB circuit membrane switch.

For the flex circuit membrane switches, there are two types. They are silver printed PET circuit and copper etched FPC circuit. 

Hotbar Lamination(Or Heatseal Lamination or Pluse Hot Pression) of FFC and FPC Tail to PET/ITO/PCB/FPC Circuit Layer: sometimes the customer need use the separate FPC or FFC tail connected to the membrane switch PET or PCB or FPC circuit layer, and for the Capacitive Membrane Switches also have such kind of application, then the hotbar lamination(or called pluse hot press lamination, or heatseal lamination) becomes necessary in these application fields. LUPHITOUCH is a professional manufacturer with such kind of lamination capability. We have such kind of assembly machine. We can hotseal the FFC/FPC tail to PET or FPC or PCB circuit of our manufactured membrane switches.
