This thing is amazing! What are the specs for us n00bs? LEDs, driver, firmware, output? I imagine you guys all know based on the MCPB, LED, switch, etc. I learn better by observing something that is complete and working backwards in my mind as opposed to starting at the beginning.

I am starting to get into modding but my eventual goal is to do something like this.

Thanks pp for the inspiration!

Looks like I missed some info. The LEDs are a mix 2* nichia 219b sw40 , 1* nichia 219b sw45k , 1* cree xpg2 I think 5000k , all on Led4power’s mosled mcpcb. Driver is Led4power’s LD4 set to 3 modes , 4 amps (haven’t bothered to play with the other settings). In the tail is a colour changing illuminated switch from…. Led4power of course. Can you tell I like Led4power :innocent: Total light output I have no idea. It doesn’t stay on high all that long before thermal regulation kicks in. A decent quality battery needs to be used as well, otherwise voltage droop trips the LVP.

I still haven’t gotten around to the beamshots . In all honesty I forgot about it :person_facepalming:

Very nice design, the pattern turned out just fabulous. She’s a real beauty that any flashaholic would be proud to own.
Great job Pinkpanda .

Well done! I think you should build another now

pinkpanda3310 · 2019-12-07T12:03:43.000Z

Don’t worry. I’ve not been sitting idle - Holy head (finished)

CNCman · 2019-12-22T14:09:00.000Z

Beautiful light ” pinkpanda3310 ”
You have Great imagination to create this design.

pinkpanda3310 · 2019-12-22T14:16:05.000Z

Thanks CNCman Nearly always the lights I make don’t match what I had imagined

The O-L comp has only 2 weeks left

Since I finished this build about 3 months ago I thought it needed a bump

I loaded up my pocket with a few similar lights

…and shot a short vid with an action cam. The screen on the back of the camera turned off towards the end of the vid so I couldn’t see what the video was seeing. I was thinking because it’s a basic action cam there shouldn’t be much auto correcting of the picture. Kinda looks that way to me.

CRX · 2020-02-15T15:01:50.000Z

Cool.
Just looking over the thread one can appreciate how much work went into making this light with all the individual machined parts

MRsDNF · 2020-02-15T21:42:30.000Z

Looks like your prepared for a Zombie attack with the weapons attached to your pocket. Nice comparison video pp.

Flashy_Mike · 2020-02-23T18:06:18.000Z

That’s a very beautiful and unique light. I like the pattern.

Is the mokume one of your builds?

pinkpanda3310 · 2020-02-27T14:14:04.000Z
