I love your work Justin.

Copper, on copper, on copper. That’s hot!

nice build :slight_smile:

what adhesive you used for mount LED to copper ? Arctic alumina ?

Yes

Is that a Ledil Rocket or a knock off?

Knock off, as far as I know. They are made well, but they don’t look like any current “big name”.

The light is working. Beam shots tonight. Photos in the first post, show the rest of the build.

Looking forward to the for sale thread. :D I don't think you will be melting the TIR optics anytime soon, PILOTPTKs module also has them resting on copper and the body of my light got uncomfortably hot and the TIR optics were fine.

O-L, beautiful! However, the mouseover isn't working for me.

I would solder the braid on the next loop down on the spring (at the point the top loop ends). You should get a lot more contact area and lower resistance that way… the way it is soldered now you probably only get contact at the bump in the braid.

It does now.

Yep, works! Thanks!

Beautiful work with the 219s OL. I still use my nichia 2AA maglite everyday because of the tint. Whoever gets this will be one lucky duck!
But i think lumens will be around 800 because these are 219s we are talking about, afterall.

Slewflash: In the 6:th picture from the top you see 3 xm-l:s, 16mm I think.

Also states that in the title and description. 3 XM-L T6.Wink

Slap some of those NiZn cells into that puppy and hold on tight… should be a wild ride.

Old-Lumens. It looks like you have those multi circuit board thingys down pat. I have a competition going with myself to see whether I can understand what your doing or doing mouse overs first. Another champion mod. Well done.

Thanks Old!
I really enjoy the images and descriptions you do on the builds. Each time, I see a little something new that I learn from. I have built quite a few lights… not many mods, but complete lights. I think you are waaaayyyy more creative at the modding than I could be.

GREAT WORK! Thanks for sharing! :beer:

Oh right i thought this was another 219 build. Exam stress is getting to me…
