Another wee build for your viewing pleasure today, following on from the EXI triple mule build.
I made a 16340 zoomie to go with it.
Nichia 319A SM505 emitter
20mm KD DTP MCPCB
17mm 3A 7135 driver
Glass aspheric
Soldered MCPCB, pill & driver
Reverse clicky tail switch
Cyan glow details
Length – 84 mm
Width – 22 mm
Some internal pics showing friction ring, brass stopper rings etc
Opened, focused position & tail
This light is a side loader, the sliding drawer performs two functions, cell replacement and zoom function.
The change of colour from brass to black on the cell carrier near the switch denotes where the maximum zoom position is, so you pull out the tail unit until the line is level with the main body and that is where the emitter is focused as seen below.
Like a normal push pull zoomie it has a rubber o-ring for friction as seen above.
