Thanks, Me too!
We can not confirm this at this point but it is looking hopeful.
Thanks, it turned out really nice. It is always nail biting after lining everything up, focusing the laser, test printing on some paper and then hitting the print button. You only get 1 shot at it.
Made a few mistakes in my time but I have started to get it figured out now. The key is the prep like most cosmetic things.
The camera was having a real hard time deciding what to make of everything. Some were more noticable then real life, others less so. The last comparison shot is pretty close to what we could see by eye.
The light just to the right of Giggles in that shot is a small zoomie that is a fair amount better then those cheap lights you are thinking of. If it was alone and the camera settings were tweaked you could make it look like those fake beamshots. Although in most cases they simply photoshop them.
Humidity plays a massive role in throwers range and how it works. It drastically reduces the usable range due to all the scattered light not making it to the target. On top of that the scattered light also tends to blind you making it harder to see downrange. I was having to squint a bit even behind the light itself.
It does very much feel like a giant light saber or one of those giant sky lights they use for grand openings.
I agree.
Yep, there was no trickery involved with the beamshots, it really looks like that (more or less depending on how much the camera freaked out).
It kinda sucked cause I had a longer distance beamshot I wanted to try but the beam itself washed out the target too much to be any good.
Simply awesome!
Thanks for the review TA, and all the pics…. seeing it alone it looks pretty normal, but seeing it next to an L6 it’s just ridiculous!
Wonder if we could find one of the NBA guys and have him show the GT with those extra large hands… then sit it down next to a beer or something of known proportion. That’d be a neat mind trick.
Well done light, looks they’re pulling it off to a “T”!
Raccoon City, that looks eerily like my surgeon… (shivers)
TA, you have rendered me speechless. This is not easy to do. Congrats I tip my hat to you!
I feel good about this accomplishment.
TA my man, can you post a few photos of how it looks in the hand? Both for reference and just for fun? 
I would but I just sent my light off to a member to do a review on, so giggles has left the building for the moment.
You will most likely get what you want when that review is done though.
Lovely! :+1:
so is the board copper? that grey always makes me think of the aluminum ones
I want to engrave this logo on the side like you did…
The mcpcb is most assuredly DTP copper. A VERY nice mcpcb for sure. Heavy, flat and solid.
The gray laser engraving is the aluminum body, the light body is aluminum, copper would be insanely heavy and super silly expensive, like $1000.
Interesting design, could look good. Obiously it could not have the colors if it is engraved but I suppose you could have it printed on the light as well. Lots of places do that but printing doesn’t last as long.
In fact places like Fastsigns and other made to order sign shops might be able to do laser engraving locally now days, they say they can print on anything.
It is worth checking into for anyone that wants to get their own light engraved. I will include the text I used for engraving below for anyone to copy.
Here is the Giggles Text that I used in a few different formats. Personally I would stretch it out another mm or 2 to fill out the flat area but otherwise I think it works great.
