CRX Concept II - Carbon Fibre Extendable COB Lantern

I bought some 3v warm white COB LED's a while ago and finally had an idea what to do with them.

I made this little carbon fibre extendable lantern with variable brightness using an adjustable pot on top and a clicky switch on the bottom for on/ off.

Made from 20mm carbon fibre square tube, polycarbnate and brass tube, powered by a 10440 cell.

Length - 82mm/ 127mm open
Width - 20mm
Weight - 55g

What the hell do you ever sleep?

I just have mod projects piling up and can’t even get an integrating sphere set up properly

Hey I’ve had a couple days off because work got in the way again but had today off :laughing:
Got to make time for your hobbies :wink:

No progress on your builds yet mate?

Amazing Stevi….

I love the sort of monobloc style.

Beautiful.
