Gorgeous light, no doubt about it
Very nice design on the head, really liking the lines and mass
Anodizing is quite nice, typical of Convoy lights, and the raised blocks on the tube are great for grip… the knurling could have stood being deeper but it works anyway
THIS is how square threads should be! I like the raised rib being the same dimension as the channel, very solid. Notice the KK 26700 standing proud of the tube
A few things here. First, yes, I brain farted on the brass retaining ring and made it overly wide in the center. I cut the entire ring at 20.20mm and then enlarged the opening in the head of the light, re-cut threads to match how I had my lathe already set up instead of trying to match the existing threads. Goofed somewhere and the driver will fit through the “retaining ring” Duh! So I soldered the snot out of it. Ugly, but very functional. lol Second, the shelf surrounding the driver was anodized, as was the end of the battery tube. Huh? So I cut the ano off and cleaned it off the end of the tube with a file. I didn’t want ground to rely on the threads so now I have a solid ground through the host. Sometimes I also like to solder a copper disc on top of the spring so that there is a flat large surface area for a flat top cell to make contact with. I don’t know if it helps, but it looks neat. lol
Here you can see how much I had to relieve the inside of the tail cap for the KK 26700. Critical to this was the smaller Omten switch and a reduction in the depth of the spacer between the switch and boot.
Quick and dirty, like I said…
