CRX CuTi Triple Nichia 219C 4000K - 18350

You make so many super cool custom lights, what do you do with them?

Keep the favorites, give some away and recycle others.

Astonishingly nice work as ever Steviā€¦ā€¦.

It looks like it could be a steampunky sort of disguised torch clipped seamlessly into a gap on Capā€™n Nemoā€™s brass bedstead, for when he needs a nocturnal pishā€¦ā€¦ Then a faux-telescope Stainless extension sort of thingy.

Maybe Iā€™m tiredā€¦ā€¦

Superb mate

Paul

It does this when ā€œtelescoped outā€

Hows that wee copper fella, lost or dead yet? :slight_smile:

Iā€™m rarely given to envy . almost never to jealousy .avoiding lust and hatred.

I hate you .

Join the club :smiley:

That looks like a really cool album coverā€¦ā€¦

The little copper fella is still going strong. I havenā€™t lost him since that sickening few hours when he went walkabouts not long after I got him. He gets a lot of use. Love him to bits. Iā€™ll be so sad when he bites the dust.

Cool :+1:

Beautiful work as always Steve, outstanding :sunglasses:

They can be 3D printed the company luxexcel does it.

It is expensive.
And they are ceartified for medical lenses in glasses

But I doubt lenses can be done with a home printer.
But a Formlabs form 2 can do light pipes, and you had to hand polish.

Very, very nice. :heart_eyes:

Awesome build!

Nice build, CRX :beer:

Lol :smiley:

Nice creation! But what do you mean ā€œtelescoped outā€? Is it a slide type host like many zoomies?

Thanks guys :beer:

Well there you go, getting closer all the time :+1:

No I just meant when the aluminium sheath is not fully slid in place on the light. You can have that effect on multi emitter mule lights, try putting a triple in a tube if you have one and you can kinda focus the pattern by how far the light is in the tube, might keep the kids amused for a bit :slight_smile:

Maybe one could flame-polish it after printing? :slight_smile:

As to the build - superb, as always. Any data on how does the jacket extend turbo time?

Yep, I just knocked this up with a hacksaw and file. Where have I heard that before? :stuck_out_tongue:
Nice work as usual CRX. :slight_smile:

Ok, I used some sand paper and wire wool too :smiley:

:laughing:

Yeah I did a little run time test for five minutes with the bare brass then with the aluminium sleeve at 100% power (no step down timer)
The jacket gives around 30 seconds extra holding time here.

Then I did another run with both options and the step down timer set to 15 seconds to 50% which will be the normal operating setup for the light.

I ran the light in all four cases until the heat was too much to bear, maybe 65-75Ā°C except in the last test with the timer set and the jacket on, the light was bearable to hold continuously.
I used a lesser capable Nitecore IMR 18350 for the tests and charged to full before each run.

Note the highly accurate temperature readings here :smiley:

So it does work somewhat but would be more effective if it had fins.

Very nice new pocket rocket :+1: :+1:

Cheers mate :beer:
