Concrete Project Genesis Details:
- Made in USA - Electronics, Host & Assembly
2. 7075 Aluminum Housing - Most flashlights are made of 6061 Aluminum
6061 VS Structural Carbon Steel VS 7075
Brinell hardness: 95 VS 140 VS 150
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 310Mpa VS 480Mpa VS 565Mpa
Shear Strength: 207Mpa VS 300Mpa VS 331Mpa
3. 3mm thick Anti-Reflective Tempered/Safety Lens
Most lens are 1-2mm. Usually only the big boys like BLF GT and X65 sport ~3mm Lens. Heat treatment characteristic unknown.
I worked at Northwestern Industries (A glass company) for 2 summers in college.
Here I learned both glass and will are much stronger when tempered.
The slow cooling heat treatment process makes the glass tempered and thus under constant pressure from edge to edge.
Tempered glass are 4 times stronger than regular/annealed glass.
Strength Example: 1/4” Tempered = 1” Annealed (Impact and scratch resistant improved accordingly.)
It also break relatively safer into smaller pieces as oppose to longer sharp edges of the annealed.
4. Type III Anodization (Black Color)
Anodization quality vary from one manufacture to another although most claimed Type III
I have not yet examine the quality of this USA shop to conclude
Tail cap thread anodize = Physical/mechanical lock out, no parasitic drain, safe transport
I discussed General info regarding anodization here

Among shortest in class yet able to accept all varieties of cell length
Sleek and minimalist with a touch of industrial exterior design
Minimal laser engravings
Tail stand & Anti-roll
Least body housing parts assembly for strength & reliability
Thick housing wall for strength
Numerous thread for strength and smoothness
Double Oring at body ends for reliable water resistance
Shortest Length ~ 110mm
6. Diving Potential
High quality O-Rings
Dual thick Orings at all entry points
O-Rings lubed all around before assembly
7. Impact Resistance
3mm tempered glassed cushioned on both side
Extra thick housing at high stress impact edges
8. Upgradeable

12. USA Premium Viton O RingsFluorocarbons (FKM) – commonly referred to as Viton®, has excellent resistance to high temperatures, ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels, aromatics and many organic solvents and chemicals. VITON® has a temperature range of –20F to +400F, and provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, weather and compression set requirements. The relatively high level of fluorine in VITON® materials allows for exceptional resistance to chemical attack, but with limited low temperature capabilities.
Chemical Resistance:
Mineral oil and grease, low swelling in ASTM oil No. 1, and IRM 902 and IRM 903 oils
Hydraulic Oil, Petroleum Base
Non-flammable hydraulic fuels in the group HFD
Silicone oil and grease
Mineral and vegetable oil and grease
Aliphatic hydrocarbons (fuel, butane, propane, natural gas)
Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene)
Chlorinated hydrocarbons (trichlorethylene and carbon tetrachloride)
Chlorine Water
Gasoline, Fuels, also fuels with methanol content
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Natural Gas
Propane
Diesel Oil
High vacuum
Very good ozone, weather and aging resistance.
Operating temperature: –20° to +400°F
