I really like this idea! Sounds very cool. So yeah, the Damascus was price-prohibitive but I think the brass will be more affordable. I’m in, assuming the final price isn’t silly.

28

If the price for the brass light is below 50 bucks, I’m interested

29

MiG0 +1 nice idea!

Now we are talking, a brass AA would be wonderful! A good pocket clip would be nice, maybe a mini Solarforce style that would mount over the threads on the tailcap??? Bent so it would go deep pocket carry? So many times, I feel, good clip options are overlooked for something that goes on but is not very functional. I have had my copper Tool only a week or so and the clip has popped off twice, almost resulting in a lost clip.

G'Day Rey,

Watching with great interest, as I have always watched your products.

Btw re the Damascus Steel, I may have been interested in a genuine Damascus Steel light depending on the price. But not for a DamaSteel one at a $500+ price.

Best Regards,

George

What we do about the driver?

33

Mountain 12mm or 15mm fet driver (guppydrv firmware ) with nw xpl-hi led on copper sinkpad.

34

Looking good, count me in.

35

15mm should be too big, 12 might fit. We’ll see.

36

12mm is tiny. These drivers mention only work with li-on. So this will no longer be an AA light. It will be a 14500 light. Meh.

37

I might be interested with the brass flashlight, depend on the price, design, and specs.

38

Do we need a programable driver or just a simple 3/4 modes one? 14500&AA compatibility is a must?

39

I just want AA. 3/4 modes is okay as long as it’s well chosen, l-m-h, no memory (or switchable), with good low moonlight (below 0.2 lumen) and well spaced modes.

40

What Gunga said.

Solid, reliable driver l-m-h with good moonlight would be my preference for a classy custom light.

41

I second that.

42

Simple 3/4 modes, nicely spread with moonlight mode will be fine.
Compatibility with 14500 is a bonus

43

0.2- 10-50-100 lumens? (maybe only 85 lumens with Nichia and AA) reverse protection, low voltage reminder, none PWM, option for Nichia and XPL HI?

44

Hi, I am interested in this flashlight.

Are you able to get 300+ lumens from single AA like the Zebralight SC5 and Manker T01?

45

With XPL and 14500, I think yes.

46

For Nichia 219B and NimH the following modes look optimal to me:

80 16 3 0.5 lumen

reasonable amount of light with reasonable runtimes, no wow factor.

While I use 14500 myself, proper support for it (like sc52d) would increase the price very significantly.
