The 20mm housing I used to build a light for a friend was fantastic to use, I can imagine that this one will be even better. This + PilotPTK’s triple module = super awesome lighthead for $120 or so. If I wasn’t the recent recipient of a mini-lathe I’d be seriously considering this for my next light.
I think they’re $85-90 depending on LED bin if you buy it preassembled, but you’d be best to ask him direct. So it’d be that + switch + powercable/gland + mount + optic. Solder a few wires, drill a couple of holes for the switch and cable, screw everything together and you’re done. Couldn’t be much easier
Good news!
The AR glasses are ready and I have received a preliminary confirmation from the factory that it will be possible to make an additional tripod mount (1/4”–20) in the bottom of the housing. It will be possible to use this housing as video LED light!
Just got my two 35mm housings yesterday, and they look great!
The only thing that worries are the screw holes for the retaining ring and rear cover, the outer walls seem a little too thin for my comfort. Gotta be careful not to screw them down too tightly for now…
great update MosesM, those look absolutely gorgeous. Lots of surface area for the mass and I like the superfine pitched threading on the adjustable pill. That’ll make getting the optic height right very easy. I can’t really think of an easier way for a DIYer to make a super bright genuine 2000lm+ light.
