New build. C8 AA or is it a bottle jack?

Amazing work as always!

Wow, excellent work.

That is some gorgeous machining!

Excellent machining! Great job!

It's beautiful!!

You out do yourself every time. WOW!!!

Cool! What kind of output are you hoping for off a NIMH AA cell?

Thanks Guys. What am I expecting out off a AA? To be honest something that throws 400 meters. Seriously just an all round light that will take any AA battery. I have heaps of AA hotrod lights, so this is just something different. I have standardized my pills for these lights so there pretty easy to change anyway. They have a 20mm x 1mm pitch thread and are all 1/2''long. Cheers.

^ What he said.

Very nice !

I hardly believe that it can be done without CNC. Great work! But what is the purpose of the screws in the tail? Anti-rolling mechanism?

Yep. They're there for tailstanding and to stop the flashlight rolling.

Wow! I love this little firecracker the design is really cool and well executed.Great work,I think some blue GITD rings would look killer on this one.

Really nice. Until you held it in your hand it looked much bigger. Hmm, that sounds a bit iffy. Oh well, can’t wait for 400 meter beamshots.

Say is good work, is an understatement, really is Amazing !!!
Thanks for sharing :smiley:

Awesome, I love your lights mrsdnf 8)

wow, that really is stunning, well done! With that size reflector and an XP-G2, it should throw amazingly well even if you can only get 500mA or so to the emitter.

Do you have a link to the driver? I can’t remember where the one you used before was from and I’m pretty lazy :slight_smile: Also - did you machine the reflector yourself or is it a standard C8 part?

The reflector is a standard C8. At the moment its running a KD 7135 V2 driver and a dodgy XP-G2 which throws pretty good. Its not that different to a Q5. Hopefully the BLF mini driver will arrive soon.

Did you stand on your head for the pics or is it because your on the other side of the planet? Enthralled, but dizzy. :Sp

I'm not dizzy this end but that is my opinion. The pictures are fine here. Are thay upside down or sideways as in other posts some people report my pictures as doing strange things but I dont know why.

Upside down. Table is at top of picture.
