This light started out as a build for a member here but the longer I went through the parts bucket the more I realised I could not build a light to suit him/her so went of on a tangent and built a light with parts I had anyway.
All the parts in random order that went into the light.
As I keep saying I don't have much of an imagination so my wife and kids helped me with the styling.
The tailcap is brass. A black rubber boot was tried but I prefered the look of the orange. The switch retaining screw is aluminium. The knurling was an absolute pain in the butt to do. Brass is easy to machine but is still tough.
The battery tube is also brass. I was told to keep it simple. I do as I'm told when my darling wife speaks.
The reflector is a 19mm OP with an XPG-2 R5 1D tint led hiding behind what is supposed to be an AR lens. The led is fed a diet of electrons from a KD 7135 driver topping out at 1.8 amps. My 16340 Trustfire flame protection cuts in on high after about 5 seconds.
And finally some pose shots. Firstly with an Ultrafire T20 which runs a AA battery.
Front end shot. There is an o'ring between the bezel and lens and another on the head.
Theres nothing like a good rear end shot.
And one final picture.
The twist.
The twist is that this light is now in a giveaway. If you want a chance to win this light leave a comment. If I have offended any of you in the past now is your chance to seek revenge. All posts will automatically have a post added by me to win this light so you will have two chances. Only your first post counts as the official entry if you post more than once.
The title has now been changed to say this light is a giveaway. No more second chance posts will be allowed. All new entrants must have been a member no later than the 9.2.14 (2.9.14 in some parts of the world) and made at least 5 posts. Good luck all.
These rules will change when I add that this new build thread has something like win this light added to the title. There will be no more second chance posts added by me from then on. This will happen sometime in the future. If l manage to stuff up or miss you please let me know.
If you dont want to be in the draw to win this light feel free to add that to your post.
The same rules apply as in my original light thread giveaway.
Let the entertainment begin. Good luck to all and one.
Wish more people would do that poorly.
