I have saw this posted a few times. What is the purpose of saying it after the first post? I have been curious about it. Thanks.
It’s so he can add further updates and they all appear as a group of posts. It’s really handy for people looking at old posts as they can see the full build in just a few posts without having to read all the comments.
is that an older luxeon mag in the picture?
Yes it is.
Well played sir!
That had me laughing.
This looks like a pretty neat idea, kind of like the Surefire A2 but better. ;)
Looking good. The work you do with hand tools is nothing short of amazing.
Wow. You cut a reflector in half without trashing it. Seems every second reflector I look at ends up in the bin. This is looking good so far.
Great Build Justin…. I can’t wait to see how it comes out!!!
Dan.
You never cease to amaze me.
Got a song for Angel Eyes?
Ask and ye shall receive. See Post #1
Can’t wait to see how you drive it. H)
More photos added in the OP. The "Angel Eyes" ring is about done.
That light is really looking nice!
I tend to post at the bottom then update the first post.
Justin, this is sick. Should be a decent thrower (even better if XP-G2) and a great flooder. I’ve got my eyes on this one.
Do you already have a particular power emitter in mind?
You aren't the only one. ;)
Just about all I keep for leds any more are XM-L and the Nichia. I figured to put the T6 3C in this one. 2.8A driver for the T6 and a single 7135 chip for the leds. 20 leds @20mA each = 400mA and a single chip should do about 350mA, so about 17something mA for each led. Hopefully it will work out for this.
I find a step drill bit handy for this. Only have to drill once and easy to see depth.
