So I went to the post office today...

That’s awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. :beer: :face_with_monocle:

Where's the beam shots? It should be dark by now.Wink I am still waiting for the banana leaf shots too, by the way.Tongue Out

That is so awesome, Sb!!! I'm so happy you appreciate our small(?) gesture of gratitude. Thank you for all you do, Mr Admin! You are well loved by all of us!

Right here! https://googledrive.com/host/0B-BX653Loct-aGdwZ0JaaXYzdkU/beamshots/
Sorry, I don’t have a good setup for beamshots. My best camera is in my Samsung Android phone, I set it to ISO 800 and as much manual settings as possible for consistency. The pictures don’t look like much, but boy was it bright out there tonight in real life!

Very, very impressive. I put it up against my former most powerful light, a 2x18650 triple XM-L Uniquefire 3900. The Uniquefire appears to have a slight advantage in throw, but the color is quite sickly compared to the vivid, natural, sunlight color of The Duodecuple. At closer range, the Duodecuple produces an incredible wall of light that handily beats the Uniquefire. I love it! My camera really can’t do it justice.

I'm sure maglite never envisioned this .

Couldn't have fallen into a better set of hands ...Congrats !

Now do what Old Lumens would do.

take pictures of it while you tear it apart .. :P

Congratulations ! What a fantastic surprise :bigsmile:
I assume this “Master-Blaster” is a one-of-a-kind flashlight?
Could you show us a picture of it in your hand? Looks wonderful as it is 8)

That’s the problem. it looks wonderful as it is… but my hand doesn’t! 0:)

But seriously, it is so much smaller and compact in real life than it appears in the pictures. That’s why it’s so entertaining to see it walloping the huge, long, Uniquefire 3900. I’ll take some pictures of it sitting next to common, standard sized objects.

I suspect you’re right on that one! I think we should actually send some pictures to Maglite of this one.

Awesome light in the most literal sense of the world.

Glad it went to a good home. :slight_smile:

Congratulations on a very well deserved and very unique gift SB

Thank you for the nice story and of course to Old-Lumens for this great gift.

I can’t imagine it going to a more deserving person, well, other than O-L and he made it :slight_smile: Just sorry that I couldn’t contribute and show my appreciation too!

And yes, the colour looks wonderful next to the Uniquefire. How low is low? Is it still useable close in with all those emitters?

I bet the story is clear to some of us, but I think a small clarification is needed - just to make sure that everyone understands this correctly:

Old-Lumens built this gorgeous light and put it up for sale. It was then secretly bought by me, representing many generous forum members. O-L sent it directly to Mr. Admin with fast shipping.

This was just the first (but obviously the greatest!) light he receives. There are some more surprise packages to arrive during the following months. Please stay tuned. ;)

That is extremely kind. Good to see some good in the world, still.

Enjoy in good health and godspeed.

FANTASTIC! An outstanding OL Mod for an outstanding Admin!!! Now thats a bullseye!

I wondered what happened to that light!!! _ the_ you did perfect!!!!

Congrats Mr. Admin!!! Dan.

hehe
Great stuff

I loved reading this!. That’s quite an eloquent vocabulary you have there Mr Admin. :slight_smile:

So that’s where it went. Congrats, thank you, lots of other nice things I wish I could think of SB. May all incipient modders aspire to such creativity and thoughtful work.

WOW!

and very well deserved. enjoy it in good health!
