And no anodizing? Thanks OL. Cheers.
impressive mod! lets see some shots with the big boys
awesome. It is a 3c, you can tell from the head and reflector 
I’d sooner have that than some boring factory light any day
Nice Light, you clearly have Talent for it. TN31’s have a MUCH smaller hotspot than yours, so if yours throws anywhere near as far, it will be a much more usable Thrower.
Cheers and Well Done.
So I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to come up with a response to seeing this amazing work...I'm at a loss for words.
How long did this take you?
Eh, would you believe it shone to New Zealand. But seriously Chief, that is one serious mod. Wow! About as different from what I do as is possible. Can’t touch that!
+1 It’s amazing what a talented individual with will power can do. That is a work of art and hard-core kick assery perfectly merged.
You definitely need to take off the black ano on the head and leave the whole light silver!
Oh and after that sell it to me.
Awesome machine work! I gots to get me a lathe.
Spectacular !
I'm JacktheClipper , and I approve of this build .
WOW!
You really outdid yourself on this one! Fabulous work on the knurling, pill, heatsink, threads….well hell man it’s just an awesome piece of work! Great pics too, really tells the story. 
Handheld spotlight, for sure. Well done!
Very nice work. Looks a little nicer in its medium sized versions.
Now that’s what I’d call rocket science!
Great build, it's a beauty! It looks best with all four tubes B-). I also think you should take off the ano of the head. I am curious about the numbers, what does it put out and what is the throw?
Very Impressive! Interesting you get 5.6A to the LED (tailcap * 4) out of an IOS 5 amp driver, but I think I got well over the rated amps from the 7 LED IOS driver too, with 3 26650's. Amazing what a lathe and lots of skill can do! Great Job!!
It would be great to get some measured #'s from it, if possible. With all that copper and heat sinking, you should be able to well over 6 amps - 8 amps sounds good at 2 amps/battery, but proably wouldn't benefit all that much.
Sure. Send it up :bigsmile:
I never imagined it would be so large.
How much does it weigh, fully loaded ?
Best wishes to Peter.
Fantastic machine work, DNF! I really like how you do your tailcaps.
The stock 2010 must be putting out at least 500L OTF (depending on draw at the tail). I reckon this ‘little’ ditty has to be doing 2.5 times that, easily. That thing’s a beast!
I’m not sure how long. Its been an ongoing project for about six weeks doing bits and pieces here and there. I’ve just got to work out the springs and it will be done.
Thanks to you all for the kind words.
With 4 batteries installed the center of gravity is just behind the heat sink. With your thumb and first finger snug up against the heat sink the light is pretty effortless to carry. I will have to take a picture.
I had not thought about removing the ano from the head. I may have to do that. Does anyone know what the equivalent off greased lightning is in Australia? As far as measurements go its a field I have not ventured into. I have intentionally not given any distance measurements to stay away from any controversy. 
Thanks mate. l’ll send it up on QLD rail. Everyone here is still in bed so I cant find the kitchen scales. Standing on the bathroom scales with and without the light the difference is 1.1kg which would be about 2.41 pound. If this is not close, when I find the kitchen scales I will amend this. I’m not sure how much I had built when you were here but it sorta just slowly evolved.
Hi Mr jacktheclipper I was tossing up whether to ask you if you could make me one of your famous lanyards for this light but in some sort of handle format. I could make an eyelet to go on the tailcap and put a noose over the head of the light. I’m not very creative so I dont know. What do you think?
Wow! Just Wow! That's an amazing build! Let's see 6+ amps in this baby!
