Continuing with the 22mm carbon fibre tube, I fired this MT-G2 single cell rechargeable flashlight together this morning.
Utilizing the KD H1-A boost driver, charging circuit from an X2R and an AWT 18500 HD cell.
I did not modify the driver due to the construction of the light. Highest mode can be operated for 1:30 until the head area is uncomfortable to hold in 25Ā°C ambient temp, other modes are fine :+1:

I mean, it must have hit - and I mean a fully capitalised and emboldened HIT - every branch, twig AND leaf when it fell all the way out of the Ugly Tree.
It probably landed face first in an ugly puddle too, taking ugly to the max.
Now Iām offering an exclusive serviceā¦
In fact itās more of a vocation. A mission nāest-ce pas???..ā¦
To rid the world of ugly torches.
You know my address.
Happy to help prevent this ugliness from spreading.
Really, is there a need for that? if you donāt like it fair enough but there is no need to be rude about someones hand made work.
I donāt know about CRX, but just reading that annoyed me! (and I didnāt even make it)
Apologies in advance if I am missing some sort of extremely dry humour.
Thanks mate, highest mode can be operated for around 1:30 until the chunk of brass heats up and the head area is uncomfortable to hold in 25Ā°C ambient temp, other lower modes are fine for longer durations.
.
It really depends, sometimes I just use things I find which fit together like the 50g brass weight, I like when that happens. Brass tube is nice to work with and the carbon fibre is easy to drill & file.
I love epoxies, jbweld, magnets and arctic thermal products, not too keen on soldering, I like reflowing though.
What I donāt like is enlarging reflector aperture holes for emitters such as the MT-G2, got a 50/ 50 success rate with that :laughing:
.
Cool, Iāve posted the light and debited your account ending in *78 forĀ£350*
It would seem soā¦. again, Iām sorry for that. Had the best of intentions though. I hope my apology is ok. :+1:
How stupid can one feelā¦ā¦? Very lol! Doh!
Itās cool, thanks for what you said anyway. Sometimes difficult to convey humour over the net with so many different cultures etc and using only text, probably a lot of people donāt get my humour either.
Whatās next, politics or religion? :smiling_imp:
Thanks, everything flowed well, thereās not really much to it especially making it a sealed unit and I didnāt have to do much to the heatsink except drill & polish the top. Even the reflector behaved when I opened the hole up
The powerbank version took about six hours.
The beam? Itās quite nice going from a bright spot fading out to the spill with no discernable divisions but being the MT-G2 in a small deep OP reflector at fairly low current itās not a mega thrower. Itās the beautiful tint and charging convenience weāre after with this one.
I might attempt a picture later.
Sorry if my GSOH didnāt gel with some of youā¦ā¦ as Stevi said, Iām English, north-eastern English to be exact, and up here on the cruel, cold North Sea coast we learn how to take the p*ss out of each other from a very early age.
Plus, in terms of āEnglishā, being a Blaydonite, Iām only some 57 miles shy of being a Scot myself!!!
Iām probably the luckiest guy on this forum in that, due to his recent generous GAW I proudly own a CRX modded torch as well as a full-blown copper-tube CrXeation - and he knows just how much I love that (still in the freshly stitched pocket buddy)
Soā¦. Ā£350 for a CF-CRX? A snip at twice the price!!
and Gooseā¦ā¦ No worries mate
Therefore, here is my Universal English translation of what I originally wrote.
