Shadow JM30 (MT-G2) mod – copper edition (very picture heavy)

Amazing skills. Amazing mod. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Cula and all that copper, Wow

wow, amazing mod!
and what a beautiful result!

Jeeze. What a meticulously crafted light. Absolutely amazing, and beyond anything I have the patience for.

Agreed. I would not have even thought of doing what he did. I have not seen a nicer custom light ever. And I’ve seen some rippers.

I don’t think I’ve seen that much copper work put into a single flashlight before. Simply incredible.

Bravo…. Can you make me one? :slight_smile:

Beautiful copper work!

Just Wow… Amazing skills

Tremendous ammount of handywork! Bravo

Thanks guys for your comments. It wasn’t easy but it turned out nice. I have few tweaks to do to make it perfect but nothing really serious.

What a beauty! Lots of hard work! Congratulations!

Nothing fancy Mike C, just a lot of patience and work. Wet sanding paper up to 2000 and then plain polishing paste and buffer mounted on the drill or a dremel. I use polishing kit like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/34Pcs-1-8-Soft-Felt-Polishing-Buffing-Burr-Wheel-Kit-For-Dremel-Rotary-Tools-/321997460967?hash=item4af88b55e7:g:oBMAAOSwL7VWsbpG
After polishing, copper is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol and I don’t touch it with bare hands anymore. I work in gloves because it prolongs the oxidation of the copper. These are just my observations which came from experience.

Yes, it is the original reflector. I’m not completely satisfied with focus at this moment. I think I pushed MT-G2 a bit far into the reflector and I need to lower it down. Maybe you guys can help me with this when you see a beam shot. I’ll point to what is bothering me and maybe you can suggest what to do. It is not that serious, just a small dim around the hot spot. It is not easy to explain so I’ll upload the photo later.

One of the most ingenious and well made lights I have ever seen!

Well done!

I agree with what everyone else has said. This would have to be one of the most amazing modded lights I’ve read about. Very very creative and perfectly executed. Even the pictures were beautifully done. Thanks for sharing and keep up the orsm work.

Can`t agree more with you guys above

That is a decadent amount of copper.

Stunning.

I always liked the usefulness of flooder and I think you might have set a new record for hitting the sweet spot for (cost, beauty, usability).

Good on ya mate.

For me I am wondering if more settings something like 2+ 4+ amps might also get some use?

Thank you Old Lumens, as I said before, You are one of the main reasons I started this hobby. BTW, I can't wait to see what You come up with Your Palight Boss. I am sure that everybody here misses Your crazy mods.

Some modes between would definitely be very useful but that's the way it is with LD-2. Never the less it is a great driver.

Wow, Cula! Not more I can add to what the others before me have said except that I agree with them wholeheartedly. Bravo!!
