Thanks for the comments guys.
Iām just a little excited as the light is at this point finished. Iām posting up some of the last build shots and later Iāll get the glamour pictures up.
The driver is powered up to set the parameters and power output before assembling into the torch. The driver is a Taskled H6Flex.
On assembling the light I was having trouble running the fan wires in the groove with the led power wires which by the way are 18 AWG, so decided the easy way out was to run them in there own groove.
The power wires for the leds coming out of the head along with the fan wiring. I would have liked to power the fan from the driver but this was not possible due to room restraints and assembly issues.
In the front two reflector thread holes in the top plate you can see the channels where the wiring runs to the third led.
The driver has been assembled into the head, switch wired up and the driver board used for the positive power to the driver soldered on.
And finally where I seem to always have issues with blowing leds, hit the switch and three Luminus SST-40 leds erupted into a dull glow without blowing up. Yahoo says I.
Pretty sure you can be considered the best custom flashlight maker in the world. One day, maybe a hundred years from now these lights will be auctioned off at Christieās Auction for tens of thousands of dollars.
Awesome works there Sir.
The copper inlay part amazed me early on. Love the radius curve and taper at the head @ switch button area. Uniform knurlingā¦
Some skills shown.
Iām charging batteries at the moment for a shoot out but will have to wait for the weekend for this to happen as its still not dark here when I go to bed.
I need a new spot for long distant beam shots as my last place is now out of bounds.
Think Steve might have a fascination with space somewhere in the back of his mind. I posted in the build thread that the one with the wood accents(post 125, last picture, far right) looks like it might be something from the TV show āLost in Spaceā.
