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.

Some skills shown.
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.

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.

I dont know how they put up with that mischievous Mr Smith for so long. :heart_eyes:
