That is something very special indeed, an amalgamation of Australian ingenuity and Texas pride! MRsDNF tooled the light (well known for his knurling), Old Lumens put the finishing touches on it and made it the beast that you see before you! That’s right, Australian/Texan cooperational modding at it’s best! What appears to be stainless is some of Justin’s fantastic polishing skills. It’s all aluminum, well, save for the copper that Steve used to ensure ground and thermal goodness. Those 2 did a lot of work on that light, and Justin’s old school elbow grease attitude made it simply gorgeous!
The very best from either side of the world, combined into one fantastic package deserving of such a generous administrator! Well done Justin, Steve and congrats to the Best Admin on the Web!
Well I’ll be darned! Thanks a lot for the clarification, and many, many thanks to MRsDNF for all he has done to produce this incredible gift. Original post updated.
Justin put a heckuvalotofwork in this one, look at the baked enamel black finish, the hand polishing, the precise fitment of the big emitter, they both busted a sweat on it for sure! Great job the both of ya!
It was OL decision to pass this light onto SB and he could not of chosen a better guy. This forum has too many nice guys to thank them all who inspire one to do things that in the not too distant past I would of laughed at. I’ve said it before that the work turned out here by members with basic hand a electrical tools is mind blowing and the thanks is all yours. For me to part build/mod lights like these and hopefully there will be others with OL is a dream come true for me and I thank him for answering the hundreds of questions that I nag him with to the point he must be so frustrated not to mention I tell him I’ll do something and 6,7 or however many months later something happens, sometimes.
Thanks to you all here at BLF. You are all truly an amazing bunch of misfits in this virtual world that we live in.
