Not that exact tr20 thingy— that looks like a ginormous 26650 thrower. But borrow some of the millwork concept, thin fins 1/16(1.6mm) or so thick, spaced the same on a ~1.5+ inch head they couldnt be very deep maybe 3/16”, or so. Yeah, and do it in copper. There was an astrolux i remember seeing a few years back— sc ? Maybe a bit like that form factor wise but slightly deeper on the fin milling. But narrow 1/16” fins and spacing. This, as opposed to the e07 cad drawing with 3 fins at approx 3/16 – 1/4” thick.
Ha. Thats perty. Lot of work went into making that i’d guess. Practically speaking yes. Aesthetically, it is a little blingy—too many angles and jags milled into the fins. Looks like the fins are a mm or so thick with about 3-4mm spaced apart, sacrificing alot of mass that way, seems the trade off is more air flow to each individual fin. I liked the trj20 spacing and more conservative look (edit: but like dale has mentioned —pointless having all those precious fins without the insides being right.) But i guess if you want copper for heat you really gotta show it off cause its gonna cost. I dont know that it will fit with their toned down look. I’d want to frame it and hang it on a wall somewhere. Is this in your collection or did you find a pic? It sure does seem to fit the bill—with the deeper fins, though. Kind of looks like they belly a bit in the middle i’d guess top+bottom ~3/32-1/8” up to 7/32-1/4” deep at the belly? That’d be awesome.
Pretty little light. Looks like jewelry. Most of my lights are used in the field so i dont really want to carry something that pretty —i’d be afraid to use it.
BTW, aside from lung cancer and price is there a reason there are no flashlights made from conductivity-optimized beryllium copper alloys? They seem much superior to regulars ones and I would expect that some would take the cost and do the precautions and actually use it.
Very nice design! I like the styling better than the Emisar lights.
I like everything about it except that it uses small TIR’s. I like the TIR in my small EDC but for larger lights I’m a reflector fan. This flashlight with a quad reflector (even though it would add a few mm to the size and produce less light) would make it perfect.
10mm shelf Fins look great too. I guess 135g is the max you can pack in a light this small. Are you going to sell a clear anodized version? This looks much better than the black and champagne color. Also a copper version would be fantastic.
I can see that finned head section being copper, with bare anodized aluminum tube and tail cap and SS or Ti bezel. What an epic little light this would make!

Copper head with clear anodized aluminum tube would be perfect since the head is most important for thermal performance. Don’t mind the bezel being in copper though for more thermal mass.
@Di_Joker, a quick search ends here : ThanksGiving Sale
It’s a copper Cryos Z32 head.
Yea but it was an Oveready product originally. They was just someone reselling their product.

Copper damages easily, those fins would not look pretty after a gouple of drops ftom real-world use!
I like the design, any renderings how the front looks with 7 LEDs? Otherwise great idea, I would consider it.

Final prototype is done
10mm emitter shelf , deepest fin is 6mm . With 30T 21700 installed it is almost close to the brightness of ROT66

Woah. 10mm shelf.
That is absolutely massive About as thick as that Enogear XHP70.2 light with a 26650.

Weight?
Looking at how massive it looks and that thick shelf, we are probably looking at 130+ grams of pure awesomeness.
Edit: Not a copper shelf. Was wrong, sorry.

135g? Not bad. Wouldn’t called that lightweight, but it’s not bad.
The thought of 300g has really scared me for a moment.
massive fins yes , thick shelf yes , 300+gram no way, E07 is a small-size EDC

BTW a copper variant would be interesting as well. Not for EDC, not for backpacking but there would be uses as well.
The head with the flare, fins and switch looks really great!

It looks really nice except the rounded “triangle” cut where the button sits, IMO.
EDIT : the button area of the first proto was much better and the button could be recessed a bit more.

LOVE IT!
What they said, above me… where do I pay?
Can I please Please PLEASE get one in RAW aluminum like that one pictured? Or bare, as machined, with clear anodizing? Please?
Love it right down to the purple lights in the switch!

Begs the version with a copper head. Can limited release
Sorry for my poor english.
Copper head with clear anodized aluminum tube would be perfect since the head is most important for thermal performance. Don’t mind the bezel being in copper though for more thermal mass.
Clear anodize with a stainless or titanium bezel would be so so cool.

Oh yeah, that design looks absolutely magnificent raw.
