Texaspyro's Handmade Multi-Emitter DIY Contest Entry

I should have reserved more posts.

I sense further/impending epicness.

You can't go wrong with Led Zep!

Reserved post for future comments…

EDIT now that the build has been revealed!

That light is just sick!

Something really different. Looking forward to see beamshots!

With the one post per minute limit, it’s really hard to reserve 5 posts without some sneaky person sneaking in a post between them… :wink:

Hehe... Sooooooorry

I’ve seen a hint or two of what you are planning here. So many secrets. I do know that there will be a lot of power involved. :slight_smile:

I was so tempted...


Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let 'em kill you baby, don't let 'em get to you
I'll be your breathin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go to far, don't let it get to you

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Hey tp, got any reservations about your build?

I reserve the right to be reserved about my reservations…

Updated the first few posts with some build info and pictures…

I like the bowl, it gives a nice touch with it’s decorations. :wink:
That surely is a lot of work! But I have the feeling the reward will be the giggling worthy of a whole flock of schoolgirls. :wink:

Comment in post five. :slight_smile:

HOLY #$%&!

I am really curious how that bowl works as a reflector. I picked up a 6" stainless bowl at Ikea about a year ago to use as a reflector in an XM-L build but haven't gotten artound to making anything with it yet. Really a bummer about the poor heat conduction. It will put a big damper on anything I use it for if I decide to still use it. Must keep an eye out for aluminum bowls if yours actually works well.

I can't wait to see the rest of it come together! It reeks of awesomeness!! :bigsmile:

Now that’s a monster flashlight, if I dare call it that! I also am interested in seeing the salad bowl beam shot. My guess is a huge hotspot, but I’m wondering if it is ringy because of the bowl shape.

You’re making a runway approach light.

Nice! Exactly what I would expect from a guy with a forum name that combines Texas and Pyro. 8)

All the good comments have been used so I’ll settle for “my, what a big hand you have.”. I’m speechless but I can still type.
