I really like the picture with the light in the hand, in fact it is the picture that shows best how it is going to look like. I like the smooth finish too!
(for me a rough machine finish sounds not overly attractive, I like well finished flashlights with a good ano-layer. the best finish I have seen sofar is my Shadow TC300, in matt dark-brown ano.)
Off of a lathe, you can get a variety of surface finishes. If your cutter is sharp and is fed into the material at the right rate, you can achieve a very nice and lightly textured look and feel. If you want something different, you can hit it with different grits of sandpaper to achieve a matte, satin or even mirror-polished look. I suppose the final surface will depend on the agreed-upon treatment after it is machined to shape.
I kinda like the shinier look as opposed to the satin look in the last picture but that’s just me.
Please add me to the interest list. :) Is this ramping thing the same as infinite modes? Or does this light have a fixed set of modes, like low medium - high?
Thanks. Guess I should be reading more and looking at pics less. Sorry for the confusion. For this specific light, I am out, but that doesn't I don't think its an awesome light. It is awesome and I look forward to seeing what it branches out to as time passes.
Sorry for posting that stunning light Fritz made so big at the start of the OP.
It is for the size, I will scale it down and place it lower to avoid people thinking it will look exactly like that.
Size is correct though
Well the choice of LEDs is simple
Lots of lumens with a decent tint.
Just imagine we say 2500 lumens, Djozz tests show at 9A 3K, when one wants to giggle or impress or just needs a full blast for not so long. It is just there in your pocket when you want. For EDC use you ramp to the level you need and have nice runtimes.
In a very small elegant light
Just plain awesome!
