That is a great build with a lot of attention to detail! Thanks for the tour. I'm sure it inspired some to do a build on a classical light as well.
This is one that lives in a drawer somewhere at my place. The design and the 'made in Germany' makes it post-WWII, but it does have the red and the green filter 
(building a MC-E colour in it would make give it cool and senseless 'double colour-control' 
):
Awesome build .
Thanks jacktheclipper.
Nice light you got there djozz!
Here are my three WWII period lights… I bought 4, but I have a friend who collects, so he bought one from me. I bought the lights off from ebay.
There are two french Wonder lights in the middle. They have been in the family. I believe they are from somewhere around the 70-80s. Also have at least one more with a longer straight tube barrel, but I dont find them to be that cool as the “boxy” lights…
The blue one in the front is probably a cheap no-name light from the early 90s or something… Its basically worthless…
Here are some snapshots inside the facility I mentioned. Not much need for a flashlight inside there, where there are guided tours… but some might enjoy watching some pics…
Green LEDs= Mine field!
The Germans knew how to build tunnels.
Lots of various goodies in this room:
Not so much inside this room: (lit up by a Led lenser X21R btw)
Now this is a “flashlight”… I think…
That is a mine!
Engines
Scale model. Lots of space below the huge cannon.
+1! Now I need to look for something like this. 
That's some cool gear. Don't be shy posting more pictures.. 
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Great looking light.
Your work is Outstanding 
Love the History Pic’s and the Light. Cheers
Very beautiful light and great work!
I bought an Swiss flashlight just a few weeks ago because I love this formfactor (something like this picture)
But I have to admit, the Daimon is way more beautiful.
fantastic build - I love old objects being repurposed like this, so much more interesting than something you can just buy out of a shop. Very interesting history tour too
I don’t know about reflectors, but a Ledil Iris should fit. You’ll have to mount the star to the back of the housing or a small pedestal though, it’s pretty deep.
Love the look of it. great job!
what a brilliant thread, thanks for sharing, I really like the idea of updating old vintage lghts too, its definitely something on the “to do list”.
I am wondering about putting my spare mtg-2 in my classic bi alladin lantern as its currently non functional at the moment.
I don’t build… but this thread has me thinking………
Nice mod,thanks! Forgotten/neglected form factor.
I had one of those exact lights when I lived in West Germany, from 65 –82, another was extremely similar DIAMON make and had a opaque centre bulls eye in the lens, this was ace as it gave a real hot spot.
I do remember the guy who gave them to me was mates grandad(german) and I’m sure he said they were from the 60’s ?, long time ago so maybe not remembering right, can’t remember what happened to them either.
Nice to see a modern revamp but looking period!!
tabs
Philips dyno light
that is
Very interesting thread, and nice mod!
Thanks everybody for the nice words!
Hope someone was inspired. I find many vintage lights to be quite cool! Like that jflak1 shows…
