NICE!
V0.5 hands down for me!
Very nice, so cool

Thanks Dale! :wink:

I am in for v0.5!
But could we try it with 2mm thin finns and with a distance between the finns of 2,5mm? Thats what i measure on my TN31 and the head finns of the TM15.
So that we come closer to finn design on the left side of the picture

and in this Cross section picture i have cut the last finns a little bit deeper

Apart from that i am absoluty happy with the v0.5!!! :+1:

I Like this version a lot!

Runner up is ver 0.50

Please put me down for one.

Heck, I don’t even like throwers so much, but this is going to be epic.

Very nice. I think the top cut is too deep though. It could be a bottleneck to the heat trying to migrate up the rest of the head. Maybe thicken the wall behind it.

I am with him^, the head needs to screw onto the “body / pill” in order to make modding much simpler.

I do prefer the V.45 a bit better myself, I like that nice sharp line but that seems to be a real sticking point with others so I could give that up in the interest of a balanced design.

If the attachment point/anchor is part of the head is it going to be possible to keep it orientated the way it’s shown in this pic? Shouldn’t the attachment point be located on part of the light that won’t be able to rotate or loosen the head when carried. Isn’t this also the point of all the tuning adjustment if needed?

I am also in depending on price

I think the goal was sub $100?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Man that second one is is sweet looking, I like how the battery tube flow’s into the head, and I think it would look better with the clean head of the third one, or with out the notches. Like the full diameter tube with out the flats also, Perfect for a tail cap switch only, which wouldn’t bother me either! :+1:

Thanks.
Switch will be added tomorrow.
Enough image editing for today… :weary:

Hello Miller! Please put me down for two of these beasts! :+1: :+1:

Where does the pocket clip attach? :smiley:

Then I’m in

This explains a lot:

The blue parabola is the accurate shape, it starts at the bottom with a 45° angle.
But this explains the difference in basic shape of our designs.
I use the blue one. It’s also a little deeper and has a brim on the big end.

So you can clip your pants to the flashlight. :partying_face:

Wow, nice detailing Jerommel
I really like the design
But I feel like it is more suiting a smaller light because those top “blocks” and fins laying “on top of the head” make this a much heavier light.

That depends on the shape of the inside of the head.
In all a couple of ‘blocks’ on it weighs less than a thick wall with some notches taken out.
So it’s probably lighter actually. :slight_smile:

Looks aren’t everything.

When looking at the renders I realize, even more than before, that this light, not even sporting a handle, will be VERY diffucult to handle (as opposed to a box design with a handle).

So I’m out, please scratch me from the interest list.
