My latest pocket-rocket is a Sunwayman C10r purchased on clearance from Illumn and then heavily modded by me:
The entire light is about 77mm long. It would be possible to make a shorter light using the same internals, but this host has some wasted space at the tail (screw mounting for camera tripod) and head (inset bezel)
Nice work and thanks for the readings.
My current and or voltage measurements are only relevent to anything that I measure.

For all my 16340 lights I’m using that same yellow AWT IMR16340 550mAh. Love it.

This thread is amazing. So many innovative ideas and your craftsmanship is exquisite.
Thanks mate. The thread used to be something else but there was not much interest so I changed it to a links repository of my stuff for posterity.

What do you use to make the optics glow blue? It looks very cool!
I use a mix of aqua glow powder & silicone or resin, also the glow tape can be useful for sticking to the inside of the flashlight head.

Ahh, I was wondering how I could have missed it. I’m glad you took the time to put all these in one spot. I had missed a bunch of these.
Amazing list of custom built lights

G’day!

I have a mod that I think is your style but I want to do it myself. Unfortunately I dont have your skills. Mind if I message you for some handholding?
I will help you if I can but I ain’t holding your hand unless you’re real pretty

Oh god, now I’m too embarrassed to even message you
I have two things I’m thinking of, I’ll send you something later.
Probably better to only think of one…LOL
Any chance of a group picture of your collection ?
Bonus question : are your lights on shelves or in a drawer ?
Slowly sinking into the dark abyss of addiction...MUST buy lights !
My Flashlight public album (mods, emitter swaps, eye candy)
My reviews channel (French language, Olight, Thorfire : 30+ lights tested)
My personal channel (including Olight SR mini, S1, S2, S1A and S-mini disassembly)
M4DM4X's deals and coupons
I missed some of those mods too!
Nice overview. And +1 on the group picture
djozz tests translucent S2+ gaskets available for free
I don’t have all the lights as some have been given away or were other peoples but here is most of what I have to hand.
.
I not long ago foam lined this plastic case for keeping most of my titanium & steel EDC lights convenient
.
Others are dotted around the place stuck to radiators, fridges, on shelves, under shelves, cupboards etc.
. The DQG XHP50 gets used a lot, one of my favorites
I keep a couple in my magnetic handy box I made 25 years ago at school
.
My Permanent EDC, pretty much always on me
.
Bonus answer, some of my knives
.
(If you counted all the lights in the first picture, you’re a true flashaholic)

May I know where did you get this case and how much did you pay for it? It looks pretty nice and can be used for storing flashlights too.
I bought it on *bay for about £12. Search for pistol cases. I lined it with neoprene foam and made the shelf from plyboard & 1” elastic webbing. Think that’s a 14 inch case, the small one is about 10 inch, usually come with that eggbox shaped foam.
The better ones have the sliding locks as opposed to the click down type or there are nice aluminium types.
