Are those threads square or trapezoid? How did you cut them?

Is that a phone picture?

yes square thread pp ground my own tool slow and steady

ended up with this

spun it around just want to shape the head a little,not sure how yet,

Do you have a mill?

I have this Chinese mill drill

The threads look real good LTP.

I was happy enough for my first attempt
V threads are better.

Realized I needed a bezel

skimmed bit of flat

turned it to suit

trimmed the back of the head a little

its a sizable thing

now to get time to finish and source some orings

Nice re-purpose of a cylinder shaft LTP. :+1:

Its coming along nicely LTP. Not hard to tell your new camera pictures. :+1:

Thanks 4 watching

:+1: Very nice build! That will take some time to warm up, even with a 70.2. Is the led on a 20mm board? Any idea what current it draws?
The beam looks impressive!

20mm board from kd. no idea of current I was hoping 7 or 8 amps,
I don’t think heat should be a problem,

Nice :+1:

Nice :+1: :+1:

Must be a good light for camping. Solid chunk of ali with good battery life. Nice.

That looks amazing. :beer:

ok charged the batts 11.3 amps when fresh,so should be good for roughly 7000 lumens may try some heavier wires to the led and see if I gain any thing
