You make so many super cool custom lights, what do you do with them?
Keep the favorites, give some away and recycle others.
Astonishingly nice work as ever Stevi…….
It looks like it could be a steampunky sort of disguised torch clipped seamlessly into a gap on Cap’n Nemo’s brass bedstead, for when he needs a nocturnal pish…… Then a faux-telescope Stainless extension sort of thingy.
Maybe I’m tired……
Superb mate

It does this when “telescoped out”
Hows that wee copper fella, lost or dead yet? 
I’m rarely given to envy . almost never to jealousy .avoiding lust and hatred.
I hate you .
Join the club 
That looks like a really cool album cover……
The little copper fella is still going strong. I haven’t lost him since that sickening few hours when he went walkabouts not long after I got him. He gets a lot of use. Love him to bits. I’ll be so sad when he bites the dust.
Cool :+1:
Beautiful work as always Steve, outstanding :sunglasses:
They can be 3D printed the company luxexcel does it.

It is expensive.
And they are ceartified for medical lenses in glasses
But I doubt lenses can be done with a home printer.
But a Formlabs form 2 can do light pipes, and you had to hand polish.
Very, very nice. :heart_eyes:
Awesome build!
Nice build, CRX 
Lol
Nice creation! But what do you mean “telescoped out”? Is it a slide type host like many zoomies?
Thanks guys
Well there you go, getting closer all the time :+1:
No I just meant when the aluminium sheath is not fully slid in place on the light. You can have that effect on multi emitter mule lights, try putting a triple in a tube if you have one and you can kinda focus the pattern by how far the light is in the tube, might keep the kids amused for a bit
Maybe one could flame-polish it after printing?
As to the build - superb, as always. Any data on how does the jacket extend turbo time?
Yep, I just knocked this up with a hacksaw and file. Where have I heard that before? 
Nice work as usual CRX.
Ok, I used some sand paper and wire wool too
Yeah I did a little run time test for five minutes with the bare brass then with the aluminium sleeve at 100% power (no step down timer)
The jacket gives around 30 seconds extra holding time here.
Then I did another run with both options and the step down timer set to 15 seconds to 50% which will be the normal operating setup for the light.
I ran the light in all four cases until the heat was too much to bear, maybe 65-75°C except in the last test with the timer set and the jacket on, the light was bearable to hold continuously.
I used a lesser capable Nitecore IMR 18350 for the tests and charged to full before each run.
Note the highly accurate temperature readings here
So it does work somewhat but would be more effective if it had fins.
Very nice new pocket rocket :+1: :+1:
Cheers mate
