Honestly I don't think Justin is charging enough for these lights. I have one and it isn't just a powerful light--it's a real piece of quality craftsmanship. With the amount of time spent on the file work alone the price is a bargain. Seriously, the work is so precise that if I hadn't watched him doing it by hand I wouldn't believe that it wasn't done with a machine. I build lights every day, but this is something that I couldn't build for myself. I don't have the time, patience, or skill to do what Justin does with these lights.

I love budget lights and the value/performance ratio they bring, but if you want a light that's got that extra little bit of style to it, then this one checks all the right boxes. I think I might have to get on the list for a second one.

OL custom work must be considered flashlight art!

+1!!!

You still do these? I like the top one. I know you’re not doing 1D, but I think it would look good on 2D as well. And the blue colored host is perfect for this, IMO. I’m not ready to order yet, but keep this one in mind. Glad to see you’re gonna try to make some money rather than losing money on these. They are truly works of art and you deserve to be rewarded for your effort and skill, even if it is a hobby!

This looks like a winning combination of components, well chosen! Nice also that the current can be chosen (I'd go for 6A).

Correct, I don't do the 1D any more, or the AA/AAA lights, but this was just to show ideas on file work and in this case, a polished bezel and tail cap. Yes, I could do that style on a 2D.

I have decided to sit down with my wife, (who’s perspective and motivations are quite different than mine) and cost everything out from electricity, to components, to supplies, to packaging, to tool wear and expected life span of things like Rotary tools and Drill presses. I also decided that if I am going to dedicate 15-20 hours to file work and assembly, that I will make some money off it, or I will not do it any more. I should have done that from the start, hobby or not.

Don’t be so down on yourself, man. It’s called R&D! You write it off as an expense against future profits, may there be many!

You won’t be disappointed…

I was able to get one of these O-L….
It is Very Bright with great mode control…

This the Brightness Mag Light I have ever seen…

And besides all that…… It’s a piece of Flashlight ” Art ”

This is too good to pass up. The lights are gorgeous and even if the price goes up, I’m in.

Maybe time for OL to get a (small) lathe?

an investment, but it would pay back soon I believe.

I don't think the lathe would be as accurate

Seriously, these are works of art. Excellent work O-L!

[ChibiM]

That's true.. maybe a few on lathe, and few hand made then?

[slow2go]

Looking forward to getting this beauty.
Thanks again.

[slow2go]

Thanks O-L

It came it yesterday….
It is the new meaning of ” Beauty & Beast ”
Very bright, excellent mode control, and his finish work is second to none.
I am Very pleased with this purchase.

Those i nicee to bad i cant afford that

As a career machinist I have to chime in and say that the file work here is impeccable. These are cheap considering the labor involved.

Bump it…
For a good guy

Bumping not required, it’s stickied, it’ll stay at the top

But, being stickied doesn’t keep it at the top of the “news feed” (or whatever it’s called) on the front page. Bumping does at least bring it back to the top for a moment.

I want one of these lights, but I’ve got projects of my own that need money right now. On a related note: OL, since you have messed around with the 3rd Gen Mag LED flashlights recently, is it possible you will start using them for your mods? I’m just wondering which is better for modding, the older style, or the newer? Please excuse me if you’ve already mentioned this somewhere.

On a related note: OL, since you have messed around with the 3rd Gen Mag LED flashlights “recently,”:Mag-Lite 3rd Gen LED D-cell lights: 2D - 524, and 3D - 625 lumens is it possible you will start using them for your mods? I’m just wondering which is better for modding, the older style, or the newer? Please excuse me if you’ve already mentioned this somewhere.

I would recommend the regular led Maglite over the 3rd gen, for modding.
