The amount of mass that little bit would contribute would be inconsequential to the heat management and/or run-time.
I got married in 1983 originally, was divorced by the end of the year and remarried in 84. Divorced again in 2000 and remarried in 02. I’ve worn a wedding band what seems like forever… regardless what work I was doing. Cognizant of the facts, pay attention. (well, except for the woman thing, seem to have slipped a few cogs where they’re concerned)
+1 for clear without sandblasting. Just right off the machine look.
I truly would still be in if they made it in Titanium with a copper finned head. Just sayin… I know it would double the price, maybe then some, but still, I’m a Titanium/Copper freak.
Titanium with copper would be amazing. Still want the purple aux leds in to match the side-switch.
I’m okay with the cut portion for the side-switch. It will probably make it easier to find the switch by touch, while the majority of the heat-sinking is handled by that big shelf behind the leds.
1 for Ti Cu, it would be a very functional light and a gem to look at
Silver and Gold!
Can we see a photo inside the head please?
Yes, it does. That one jumped right out when I was looking at these pictures. It’s calling my name :money_mouth_face:
I thought I read somewhere that this light would have auxiliary LEDs? I don’t see any place for them. And what is the red arrow highlighting?
They’re on a separate board which goes on above the MCPCB.
Hot damn! I’m really excited about this one.
It’s always hard to tell the true color on a computer screen, but I like the dark grey (black?) too. Gonna be hard to decide.
Thanks for the pics.
You say that like you can only get one. Remember when you were a kid and your mom only let you choose one piece of candy? Now you get revenge and buy all the candy!
Oh yeah, my D4S is like that. I forgot. Too many flashlights. Getting hard to keep up.
Thanks cowboygg, appreciate the pics… looking awesome!
Guys, this looks awesome:
Maybe polish it before anodizing. (make it shine, round off the sharp edges a little)
Or maybe just don’t anodize it at all, keep the rich natural aluminum gloss.
This looks bead blasted:
That looks cheaper i.m.h.o.
Listen FF folks,
This is not the first time that a “fresh from the machine” body looks better than the final product.
I very much prefer the satiny, bead blasted, look. But I don’t like the bare aluminum look anyway
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an anodized surface retain the machine finished look of metal. The best way to have a machine-finished flashlight is to… not anodize it. You lose mechanical lockout without it though.
The Convoy L2 has a non bead blasted clear anodized version that looks like fresh off the machine.
