This has turned into one of the more annoying projects I am doing.  I
built a mockup of the thing, twisted wires, open bulb and such on the
first saturday of february.  The damn thing is still glowing and I want
to butcher it for pieces to make a more refined system.  I won't until
it finally burns out and it seems I will never have a flashlight. 
I used 2 AA rayovacs with a red 14,000 bulb according to Bob's specs.

for the past week it would have neglible use as a flashlight as it is
but a glow but it had a high output til then.
the replacement white bulbs and container are waiting...
