Nice overview :THUMBS-UP:
I have always liked these little chunks of copper lights, except that they are twisty operated and a little underpowered stock.
Here's a Revision1 model I modded to a triple Nichia, tail switch and sent to a good home.
Triple Nichia 219C 5000K emitters on Noctigon MCPCB
Carclo 10507 TIR Optic
ARC Glass
18mm x 7mm solid copper heatsink
Nanjg 105c 3A driver
Green tritium vial
Lockout-able
Reverse clicky tail switch
Max – 900lm OTF
And of course a special Rev3 is in the making ;)
As you say, the R1 is a lot of copper, the best version in my opinion as I like the aesthetics of it best.
The R2 is also quite nice with the recessed tail, but the Revision three tail is not so good a design.
