Project Genesis

Consider this a commitment/reservation for a maxed-out in clear if these are produced.

NOTED! Thanks! :wink:

@Vinh, that looks like such a dope light. And with an SST-20 4000k 95CRI option and 21700 support, it just makes it even better.

300$US is a bit out of my league though. And by a bit, I mean a LOT. Even the starter package at 150$US is a bit much, for me anyway.

About my springs, they are silver plated Beryllium Copper C17530. Used alone, they are great.

Used in a dual spring setup though, they are extremely potent. Extremely close to a bypass in terms of electrical performance. Can handle 21A+ of current sustainably. Less work than a spring bypass too, and less chance of failure.

Also, is 6061 series aluminium cheaper than 7075? I guess that is the reason it is used most of the time.

Subscribed! I have nothing to add, but will be looking forward to see this project :+1:

I want two if the price is good.

At first I thought someone was going to be terraforming a planet, but this sounds better. :smiley:

Definitely NOT in the “BUDGET” Class hey.
That would probably top out under $50.

LOL! :laughing: :+1:

Vihn you’ve built good lights into better for a few years now. It’s sounds like a natural progression to put all that knowledge into your build. I’m a little confused on a couple of points if you could help me please? You list a few set ups on LED’s are the heads on these lights interchangeable? Will the finished lights have knurling? Good luck on your endeavor. And are you going to the SHOT show this year?

6061-T6 boasts 28% greater heat and electrical conductivity and 20% greater heat capacity than 7075-T6 aluminum with a tensile strength 28% greater than alloy 6063-T6. The “T6” portion of the material grade refers to the heat treatment and is a critical specification. Simply specifying “6061” is woefully inadequate as 6061-T6 has a yield strength four times greater than 6061-T0.

Compared to the $500-$2000 flashlights this is definitely budget.
It depends on how big a person’s ‘budget’ is.

Pretty much everything you can buy from metals distributors is T6, that’s the standard.
If something just says 6061 you can assume it’s all T6.

I agree Enderman. And if we purchase 3, 4, or 5 budget lights in a year, why not save up and splurge from time to time on something a little more special. :+1:

I am off to set up a GoFund me for this one. Looking like a must have. lol

Both twisty and clicky looks good. Don’t know which to choose but I’m pretty sure I’ll get a quad version.

This hits me of Surefire tough at a potentially lesser price yet with a substantially superior UI and battery accommodation.

IMO I wouldn’t lose a grip ring facilitation in the hard fabrication contour aspect or else provide it through an optional removable rubber grip ring accommodation. Essential IMO.

That and the forward clicky option is also essential here. Don’t be afraid of a protruding tail button. Not everyone wants to tail stand every light in their possession at the expense of forward clicky practical elegance. A receding sunken in button is not conducive to a true forward clicky/momentary.

This flash appears to encompass clean aesthetic lines and essentially a true combat readiness twist of which rightfully so Surefire has already earned. (The best of both worlds?)

Whatever anyone may say about CPF “snobbiness” the original cats over there knew and know QUALITY. Surefire has that FEEL and they over at CPF understand it better than many.

So maybe this Genesis is in a way a VinhFire if you will. :open_mouth: Don’t know if this is watt Vinh has in mind butt it’s at least in my mind.

Bottom line: This is/could be one bad azz flash. :slight_smile:

I may have to get one. Or two. Or……. :disguised_face:

Looking forward to this !

This is like surefire but with actually decent performance and features :smiley:

I just wish it had USB C charging, maybe that’s too much to ask from a simple, high-durability light.

it looks like a mortar. sweet :+1:

Vinh, Give more closer info on pricing. If good I will buy 4.

Awww thanks all for the support. I will post as much concrete details as I have them in. I am now working on the list of tweaks that needed to be done for Proto V2. I likely wont knwo anything about pricing until I commit. I plan to do my first run of 100. If possible I would also serialized them.
