I built this copper & aluminium triple mule flashlight out of some 3/4” plumbers pipe, 1” aluminium tube and some other bits ’n pieces I had with the usual hacksaw and hand files.
It has an S6 brass pill filed down and soldered into the copper tube along with a filed down brass retaining ring holding the reverse clicky switch.
I’ve used a slightly different design with this light, incorporating a sliding inner core held in place by friction and a magnetic battery door cover.
No, for a few reasons.
I did think about it but this is the last cutting of 1” alu tube that I had and it was just not long enough for an optic to be installed.
I considered not using the brass pill and having virtually no heatsink but as this is a set with the larger zoomie light I felt the floody mule complimented that.
