Ha Ha Ha, just to funny to read, poor Dale, must not have had that surgery yet or just got done with it …
Maintenance… ha ha ha… Teacher you crack me up… having been a teacher you just can’t stop I suppose… ha ha…
HuH? Poor me? What’d I miss? 11 days in Post Op, slept in my own bed without my “cone” last night. Progress.
Adjusting to the Titanium plate covering C5-C7. Left arm still hurts, but lately it seems there’s some change to it’s pitch. By the time the Dr.s cut me loose I’ll probably have forgotten how to slide a cell in a tube…
Heck No! I sent her to your house. !! Please video YOU explaining to your wife her arrival!!! :innocent: TL
We Do! 
Sorry for the store being off line. We sure appreciate your and everyone’s interest and continued support.
TL
Well WELCOME BACK!!! Drive on up here and I’ll put you to work. You can push buttons with that good arm!! Hope all is good. TL
<—-ducking and running for the La-Z-boy and bottle of pills
(I know how YOU are, a 12 hour day would be called taking it easy! 
)
As I was suspecting with your prior comments, he must be either heavily medified post surgery, or may have had the surgery and is NOW really on the meds, either way, very medicated obviously…
Glad to hear you are now on the mend, through with a very tough surgery and will hope for your full quick recovery Dale, have DDD myself, all the “C’s” are collapsed and fusing on their own I guess, sure ain’t funny that’s for sure.
Been there. C1 shattered, stainless rods and a crap load of wire, and a nasty scar to boot. Look for months or up to a year to get back to normal with minimal or possibly no pain. Good luck…
We have had a good week…the store is back on-line and I had time to run these extra hosts. They still need to be cleaned up but not looking tooooo bad.
More to come….slow but MORE!
MANY MANY THANKS to each of you for your continued support and interest in our lights. TL
Nice !! That top one copper or brass ?
You do custom work also ? Just curious, probably couldn’t afford you…
Edit: Actually your parts prices are quite reasonable. Might have to build one now, damn you…
That top one is Tellurium copper. That doesn’t stink your hand up as bad as the other coppers. Thanks for looking. I’ll take the “Damn You” as a compliment! :+1:
TL
Man I log in every two weeks to see if you’ve come up with a smaller light A la Mac or Gizmo,
Ever considered it? Any chance in a custom host?
Thanks for looking! We do custom lights. We are about to turn loose a C-8 size for the XHP series LED’s . I don’t have anything small on the drawing board right now but you have made me start thinking!! :person_facepalming: Thanks again. TL
Update on our C8 series…. here are some images of the prototype run. We should have this one ready next week….or sooner if Boots will get to work! (No one needs to tell her I said that. :disappointed: ) Hoping these will work well with the XHP series LEDs, hence all the grooves for cooling. Enjoy!
The business end….
Cut it off & flipped it around the udder way…… shortcut! We are using the body here for a jig. ….
UPDATE EDIT 7-27-17:
I had to run a hand full of these so while I was at it, I punched out a couple of 20700 Ripples Bodies. For those that might want this in a 20700 battery size…. I added two images to the bottom of the post. Same Price…. Enjoy! Thanks to all!!

Its good to see the C8 taking shape. Is it going to use a 26650 battery?
Hi Steve!
We are doing both, a 20700 and a 26650 on the C8. The one in the images is for 20700. The 26650 is a little different looking and built somewhat different. Keeping the design right for maximum cooling has become a challenge but we seem to be on track.
TL
Thanks for the update TL.
Did an update to the original post…. There are a couple of these with the Ripples Body avaiable now in the 20700 battery size. Images at the bottom of the original post.
Thanks for looking!! TL.
I got my texaslumens light back from getting it cerakoted, here’s what the light looks like in graphite black. Don’t mind the lint.
