XHP50 in titanium & brass body? A hottest flshlight too, may be.
It’s actually fine on low & medium modes and 100% drains the cells so fast it barely has time to heat up :laughing: It’s brilliant for what it is intended, brief illumination of a large close range area from a tiny package, hence the mule setup & forward clicky.
Awsome build there!!
That looks sweet! great job
Do you sell these lights you build?
Not that I have money to buy one, but just curious
:person_facepalming: :smiling_imp: What can I say?
Thanks.
I doubt people would want to pay what it actually costs, interesting now you mention it. I don’t usually but i’ll roughly add this one up…
DQG Hobi Ti - £35
Ti extension - £7
Brass extension - £5
Brass tube - £3
Glass - £1
Sinkpad £2
XHP50 - £5
MTN driver - £10
Graphite £1
Resin - £1
Sil wire & switch -£1
10180 cells - £4
Labour - £60 (my cheapest rate is £30pH)
So this little gem would cost at least £135 or $168 for me to build & sell to someone while not exactly getting rich during the process :cowboy_hat_face:
Did you miss my giveaway ? That light would be nearer £400 to make and sell :zipper_mouth_face:
Speak your mind mate
Hey, one day I might have $200+ to spend on a custom micro light, I’ll keep you in mind
Cool, you will of course receive the BLF mates rate discount
So glad I didn’t miss it my friend! :partying_face:
The flashlights you build are awesome, but I’m sure it’s not only flashlight DIYs you’re doing a GREAT job. It’s not only the way you build them, but your creative/artistic/original ideas you have! :+1:
I’m sure there are always gonna be people willing to pay good money for very handmade special stuff like flashlights. I might not be one of them (yet ), but I hope sometime I’ll have enough money for one more of your creations (receiving the BLF mates rate discount of course :laughing: ).
100% drains the cells so fast it barely has time to heat up :laughing:
excellent idea for heat dissipation!
Hey Pat yeah, i’ve got a couple spare 10250 MBI nukes that i want to use with it but i’m waiting on extension pieces arriving.
Really impressed with the XHP50, my first one - much better than the dedomed MT-G2 i had in this previously.
Very discreet switch mate. :+1:
Yeah, it’s made from a 3mm drill bit
Annnd one more stupidly brilliant mod from you :person_facepalming:
You have a thing to make those little shiny lights both excessively well made and stupid for anyone but a flashaolic.
Well played once again !
I need you to drop in and give me lessons. Theres a cold drink waiting.
I’ve got to ask, what do you think the lumen output is?
I’ll stop by when i’m in the area, thanks
Set to 3 mode i get 10, 400 and 1400 CRX lumens at start up
I actually like this setup better than the original Hobi :laughing: Does it die out quickly on the 10lm mode?
