Ultimate TRI EDC Brass Now available

That is one fine looking light. It’s way out of my price range but there are those who can afford lights like this and if I come across such a person I wouldn’t hesitate to steer them towards this one. It takes a lot of time, effort, money and skill to put together a custom made in USA project like this. Sure it’s not going to fit everyone’s budget but it’s not a crime to ask to be paid for your time. Yes, this is a budget light forum but people here buy Sinner Customs so obviously not everyone here is on such a restricted budget. Nice work Matt. :+1:

This was sort of my line of thinking too. I’ve seen quite a few 18350 and 16340, but I really like the 14500 size. More slender looking :slight_smile:

Spot on brother. :+1: 14500 is probably the only size where the market isn’t yet over-saturated (been talking to Simon about that :wink: ) and it does make a very nice light size that’s significantly more pocketable. I’d love to see one of the good lithium cell manufacturers make something with more capacity. I’m also a big fan of the 14500 size.

Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone for the kind words about my light.

Teacher, Jdub, Ozythemandias, emarkd thanks for the support.

I knew coming into this that price is and always will be KING at BLF :) I chose to post here because there is still a minority that can both afford and value a light such as this.

First of all, my post wasn’t pointed towards VOB, it was pointed towards other comments that were already made in the thread that were trying to justify the price. Absolutely nothing rude was said and I don’t feel that it was rude to state my reasoning just as others were stating theirs. However, if you feel that marking another one of my posts as rude makes your day better, by all means…mark away!!

Jdub said it best….
It is a very nice light.
I personally can’t afford it.
Even if I saved my pennies to buy I certainly could not afford to loose it, therefore I can not afford to ever Use it.
Built a few Astrolux SC Copper Quads and the 14500 run time is disappointing.

I never singled you out… I made a blanket statement of “my personal opinion” about how I felt VOB was being treated in his sale thread.
If I marked your post rude… you would know it.

Awesome light and nice to have seen the videos about it.
I hope it sells well.
And yes as a US made and designed light in excellent finish and materials I do think it can be compared to the before mentioned brands.

Bump. Hey VOB any updates on this light? I know its not supposed to be done for a while now, just wondered how (or if) things were progressing?

I’ve not heard anything yet. That is typical though, there have been times when this machines has shipped finish parts to me without even emailing etc first :slight_smile: I will shoot him a message next week though and see where we are at.

No worries, I’m just curious is all. :slight_smile: Thanks for the update though.

We’re getting close!


Yes! Those are looking great!

Wish I could afford that 30 pack…
Looking nice

Those are some nice fresh eggs, would love to be able to afford a dozen :smiley:

Those are absolutely beautiful. Fantastic detail work, it makes me wish, not for the first time, that I could machine a light like that from scratch.

And mine is home :slight_smile:

This is a great light. The machining is really fine on this one with a great finish. And the threads are like butter, even the retaining rings. I’ve already had it all apart and you couldn’t ask for much more construction-wise. Its a triple XP-L HI on a FET driver and performs very well.

I really like the size. Its a handful, not really a small light and definitely not lightweight, but its got a great balance and is really easy to hold and operate. Plus it carries well, doesn’t feel nearly as large in the pocket as an 18650 triple. The only thing I changed (so far) is a swap to the 10511 optic. Just a personal preference. Thanks VOB!




Had to add a lighted tailcap to mine. Just…had to :smiley:

Very nice light. Enjoy it emarkd!

Update:

I swapped in some warm 319a’s into mine, 2x3000k + 1x4000k. I like warm tints. :slight_smile:

Also a quick “patina” update. Coming along nicely :slight_smile: I really like this little light.
