RPG-100:
Recycling Photon Generator - 100 denotes maximum lens diameter in mm
Materials and components:
Body:
4 1/2” od x 1/4” x 12” aluminum tube (6061)
4” od x 1/16” x 10.375” aluminum tube (6061)
4” x 1 3/16” aluminum disc - led mounting surface (6061)
4” x 1/8” aluminum disc - battery mounting partition (5052)
4 1/2” x 1/4” aluminum disc - tailcap (5052)
2x 4” x 1/8” and 1x 4” x 1/16” discs (5052) for driver mount/heat sink
Battery holder:
stacking 4 cell 18650 to 21-70 compatible trays allowing multiple 2s configurations currently in development.
Lenses:
final decision dependent on test results
Reflector:
72mm x 35mm modified hemispherical (with flattened sides) providing proper curve to the critical angle range.
Emitter:
Cree MT-G2 5000k
Not typical for a “thrower” but chosen for wider beam and relatively high luminous output.
Driver:
to be determined
Dual switch firmware with forward clicky and momentary. Bigger is better.
Other:
Considering addition of active cooling. At 4 1/2” diameter x 12”+ this light is seriously big. Addition of an ounce or two is minor at this point considering the main tube (4 1/2” x 1/4” x 12”) is currently 4 lbs and final weight with lenses and cells will be pushing 10 lbs.
