CRX FlashLighter

I had one of those electronic zippo arc lighters that I ruined the lipo battery on by drilling it :blush: (Don’t ask) and my last piece of carbon fibre tube that I had to do something with so I made this flashlight with the arc lighter unit in the tail using the lighter bits and my K18 :slight_smile:

.

I was surprised to see that the dual arc pulls around 3.5A from the efest 18350 cell, caught myself a couple of times during the building :laughing:

Careful pocketing that EDC! :open_mouth:

Great build. I’ve not owned an Electronic ARC lighter. I need to look into that.

Yeah, I’ve made the lighter button quite stiff to operate :slight_smile:

nice, as always!
But indeed a bit dangerous to pocket (lucky you it is just too sweet to not be seen in a pocket :wink: )

Arc lighters… remembers me when, as kids, we used those to zap arcade machines for free credits :BLUSH: and other effects. Of course, they started to improve the machines' groundings.

:smiley:

Stevi….

This looks gorgeous but somehow a bit illegal…… :smiley:

:smiley:

Yeah I accidentally made a high powered version once, but then immediately destroyed it of course…
(after the numbness went away) :laughing:

That’s a really nice looking light, just make sure when in your pocket to keep it well away from your ‘gentlemen’s region’ :open_mouth: :smiley:
