CRX Flashlight Builds

Big fan of your stuff CRX! I've seen you post over at /r/flashlight, really great work.

Been look'n over the OP, and feel'n this stuff running down my chin, oooh, it's drool

wow, just WoW!

CRX -- That is an absolutely stunning collection. I like the Enogear Copper Cube Nichia 219C 4000K - FET15 - 14500 - Rv Clicky Sw - 870lm . Sent you a PM with inquiry about this.

Absolutely nice
How can I purchase one??
Pmd

Dream on, like the rest of us

Great work! The lights you mod, do you sell them?

CRX, you should open a modding school. Definitely you’re gifted within the skills you present. What I wish for you is to be possible earn a living just by creating awesome flashlights. That would be even better occupation than BBC TOP GEAR leader :slight_smile:

This guy simply just reply once then disappeared.
What Kind of maker that is

Thanks.
A lot of the lights listed were modded for other people, given away or sold cheap as prototypes.
I usually list things here.

Me too! :smiley:
I think I would need to get a lathe and a decent set of tools for that though.
There’s a lot of guys out there that are far more knowledgeable and skilled than me, I just like persevering in making things with my hands and showing what can be done with simple hand tools & materials anyone can get hold of, keeps me out of trouble too, mostly… :innocent:
My creations being hand made aren’t perfect, but some are interesting.

I told you I would try to think of a design for what you asked, sometimes that can take a very long time if it happens at all depending on what ideas and materials I come accross.
Designing something from scratch in my personal free time for someone is a time consuming venture.
Please remember I am not a flashlight shop or business, I am just a hobbyist who tries to fit things in and help people if I can.
Writing posts like this does not get you on my speedy ‘to do’ list :wink:

CRX, you say that you’d like to make a living on flashlight creations…
Yes, your methods are not among the most efficient….but I don’t think I’ve seen many perfectionists like you. In the flashlight community or elsewhere. This alone makes your lights expensive to make…but very valuable as well.

But have you actually tried making some money? That would be the first step. But from my limited experience I got a feeling that this was not among your priorities.

I mostly do this here as a distraction from the daily grind of chasing money so if I did this solely to earn a living I would probably need to find another creative hobby :laughing:
Stay in a nice workshop all day making lights as opposed to jumping about electrical installations is becoming a much more appealing thought as I get older I must admit :slight_smile:
True what you say though, prices are up from now on :smiley:

:+1:

WOW CRX! Those are some great looking lights! Thanks for taking the time to post pix.

If possible could you be specific on the brand of glow powder and tape that you use? I don’t remember the brand that I have tried using before, but it wasn’t very good.
If you have mentioned it in the thread already my apologies.

There’s more information and some experimentation with the glow stuff in this thread :+1:

That’s where I saw it! SWEET! I read that thread last year when I first joined BLF. I originaly got the idea for using glow tape from your Emisar D4 thread, but I had forgotten where I saw the info on the glow gaskets. I want to use it on my D4 and D4s.
Thank you.

You could always donate a lathe to the cause, ya know. :face_with_monocle:

CRX, in the first post I see “FourSevens Mini AA Ti - MT-G2 Q0 5000K - FET 15 - 2x14250 - Rv Clicky Tail Sw - 1960lm”.
But after clicking the link I see 1600 lm instead.

Output varies dependng on cells & other factors.
The lower measurement would have been taken before sale.

So both are correct, right?

The brighter measurement would have been taken with brand new cells and the lower taken with the 14250 cells worn in after a while. I would go with the lower number.
All measurements are taken on my small home made hobbysphere :smiley:
