Nice to see progress.
That is an item of extreme beauty. Having a light inside is a bonus……. I’d happily look at it empty lol! Looks like Leopard skin.
Lol, one of my daughters likened it to a giraffe. It’s a good thing if it’s being percieved this way because I wanted to make the best of the metal pattern. Of the other superconductor ligths I’ve seen the pattern mostly straight up and down lines
@pinkpanda3310:
I cannot see any of your pics in the above post.
Me neither, but the others make up for it top job pp
See pics?
Yes, now I do.
Thanks!
I was laying on the lounge floor with this light in my pocket. I took it out so I could lay on my side and placed it underneath the table. I thought that’d make a cool pic….
The bezel is the same diameter as a D4 but the optics sit deeper
The bezel has some marks from the last time I worked it in the lathe and the tail still has machining marks but other than that I think I’m done. I tried to get a ceiling beamshot to show the beam shape but it didn’t turn out so good. Will try for beamshots again later.
1 Thank
Wow, it turned out really nice. I like how the curves highlight the patterns in the superconductor material. I wonder how it will patina.
Nice work. I like the shape.
Very nice work pp. The different materials really comes to life in the larger pictures. 
Cool. The showing of the patterrn turned out really well 
Very nice!
Absolutely love the pattern on that beauty! Nice work man!
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!
Cheers for the positive comments
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:
Yay, you finished! Good work man!
Nice work!
Goodness that is gorgeous! Great work
