I’m starting to believe that you are not human CRX. Is there something your not telling us?
Should we be afraid? :sunglasses:

Course not, I like you guys :innocent:

Soo stay on your good side. Okay got it

Now that you have the protective case you must be ready to send it to me

I agree with Moose, your skills are not normal :exclamation:

In less than a month you can make this masterpiece of illumination and we don’t have a FW3A yet. Amazing.

I love it, very classy yet practical. Hard to succeed at both. You are a talented man my friend. Great job. Congrats.

I say congrats because the win I think is in the bag.

I am considering making a piston drive light at some point, which may or may not be completed before the FW3A

Once again an impressive light CRX. You keep improving your builds :+1:

Piston rod light sounds nice. I have a piston in use as an ashtray, looks nice too. And not so complicated to make

I saw what you’ve done there :smiling_imp:

BTW, and regarding to you flashlight, I like the “diffuser” option “Recycling” materials is surely a neat way to improve the work already done :+1:

MRsDNF · 2018-11-24T11:37:47.000Z

So Berrocas are the secret to your talents.

Boaz · 2018-11-26T01:33:31.000Z

When I see the title of this thread I keep thinking your crx has a bridgeport rx-7 mazda motor

Slayer1 · 2018-11-26T02:22:04.000Z

I received my prize from the contest, the Reylight LAN Mokume Gane.

Thanks very much Rey

I decided to perform some tweaks & tuning, swap the emitter, add a little more copper heatsinking, install all the tritium vials and add an electronic tail switch with ramping firmware driver.

Mokume Gane copper & brass body
Cree XP-L HI v2 5000K on copper DTP MCPCB
OP reflector
ARC glass
Brass pill with added copper heatsink
MTN 15+1 FET driver with D4 v2 ramping firmware
Electronic tail switch
Installed ten 6mm x 1.5mm red tritium vials

Length - 96mm
Width - 21mm
Weight - 123g (with 14500 cell)

Max - 1300lm OTF
Max cd - 7700 - (175m throw)

.

I also made a protective carbon fibre felt lined holster & spare cell carrier/ charger for the Mokume LAN.

.

Dyneema wrapped & GITD LED surround.

Runtime graphs using a Windyfire 14500 600mAh cell and a new Vapcell 14500 1000mAh.
Two runs of each cell, one starting on maximum output and another starting around 600lm.
