5th Annual BLF OL Comp Build. Can A Flashlight Flash? The Naked Truth. Update post 151. Night shots added. 16.12.171

Just a little excited huh? I feel giddy and all I’ve done is read and ogle over the pictures :laughing:

Here we go. I’ve waffled on enough throughout this thread so I’ll let the pictures do the talking this time.

The keepers of the light.

And finally a group shot of previous lights inspired by Justin and a few of you here.

Night shots etc to follow at a later date.

just awesome……

how does the fan cooling work

Lovely.

Like the Spartan cells too :slight_smile:

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 Christie’s Auction for tens of thousands of dollars.

+1 Well put :beer:

Well done! :+1:

:+1: :+1: :+1:

I’m not sure about that but if that is the case you can have all the proceeds. :slight_smile:
Your comments are humbling. :blush:

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 knurling…
Some skills shown.

Awaiting more pics.

Thank vw pieces. Are you waiting for night shots or something else?

night shots.

I’m 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.

An awesome feat of craftsmanship - well done! :beer: :beer:

Do those batteries yell out “Charge!” when they are ready to use? :person_facepalming:

OMG!

Saturn V thrusters !

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 “Lost in Space”.

I wish they did. The bludgers have been taking lessons from the sacked assistants and do this most of the day. :stuck_out_tongue:

This light wont be taking of with anything like the thrust from those monsters. :slight_smile:
I heard yesterday that moon travel is back on the agenda in the States.

I’ve still got to set the driver up to its final settings. I’ve set the step down for a conservative 50 degrees C. In a room at around 25 degrees C it runs for 12 minutes before step down. This is with the 3 leds running at six amps. The light feels slightly less hotter than this temp so will play with the settings more at a later date.
