Naturally, this began with JohnnyMac’s efforts, U3, IMR 14500, finned head to deal with the heat, etc. Just a few pictures with outdoor shots to follow soon! The results were done with a calibrated IS. This is my first picture/review effort so I apologize in advance for my mistakes and inexperience.

JohnnyMac’s prodigy produced 974 lumens! :bigsmile:
Put in an XM-L2 and it might break 1000. :P But great job, that is one nice looking light!
Thanks, guys! That light is a real winner. How do you like the holster, Steve? I hope it's what you had in mind.
The holster is the perfect compliment to the light and exactly what I needed to carry this light while riding my bike.
Now, I just have to locate a proper area to illustrate just how ridiculously bright this light is for its size. The Zebra 600 is a great light with a solid following among enthusiast and your light is noticeably brighter.
Nice light! Love the fins.
Those bullet looking things…. are flashlights, right? 
I’m going to have to commission a maclite one of these days. It’s not just the phenomenal output, its the personal touches. 8)
Very nice light 
Glad you like it! I tried to design this one to keep it as close to the body as possible and I think it succeeded. It should give you years of wear and service. You da’ man!
man that is an amazing torch… when will maglite pick up on the hints? lol
