Another wee torch for you today 
I built this copper & aluminium triple mule flashlight out of some 3/4” plumbers pipe, 1” aluminium tube and some other bits ‘n pieces I had with the usual hacksaw and hand files.
It has an S6 brass pill filed down and soldered into the copper tube along with a filed down brass retaining ring holding the reverse clicky switch.
I’ve used a slightly different design with this light, incorporating a sliding inner core held in place by friction and a magnetic battery door cover.
This light is 18350 powered and a companion light to my copper & aluminium zoomie build
XP-G2 S3 3C emitters on 20mm noctigon MCPCB
MTN 17mm driver
Reverse clicky tail switch
Magnetic tail
ARC glass
Felt lined battery tube
Carbon fibre bezel insert
Length – 60 mm
Width – 25 mm
Weight – 97 grams (with cell)
Max – 1400lm
Another awesome little creation!
You need to make a album or thread with a compilation of all your custom built lights, just 2-3 of each one, they are soooooo good
Thanks very much

Cute little thing it is. Are you going to use a carclo lens?
Lol!!! Way ahead of me it seems, that’s unreal
No, for a few reasons.
I did think about it but this is the last cutting of 1” alu tube that I had and it was just not long enough for an optic to be installed.
I considered not using the brass pill and having virtually no heatsink but as this is a set with the larger zoomie light I felt the floody mule complimented that.

Very clever. What did you use to cut the section from the copper tube?
