[GAW] 1000 posts -X3-'s giveaway

I’ve never given a whole lot of thought to modded lights.

One homemade light by CRX happened to catch my eye when he posted this thread about it.

Handmade AAA Copper Tube Light

This little one is made from some 12mm copper tube, copper squares, magnets, an extendable aerial and an old aluminium marker pen using only small hand tools. The light slides apart so is held together via friction and neodymium magnets soldered to both the driver board and switch contact which hold on to each end of the battery. I used cold bluing solution to make it look antiquated. Three mode memory driver, 0.9A, 0.4A and 0.10A XM-L2 4C on Copper DTP MCPCB in handmade alumi…

Sorry I can’t put pics up but there are a whole load on his thread - I just love the symmetry of it, the cold-blued finish, the sparse switch, the fact it has been knocked together with copper tube and a few other bits and bobs. I think it is superb and I wish I had 1/100th of his ability.

So, I may be excluded from the GAW because (a) I haven’t posted a pic and (b) it isn’t a modded light, it’s a creation.

Anyway, if I can be in, then great.
