Hiya hiya!
Want to share some first pics of my newest and biggest Ti light, Sinner made and sinner used it’s an 18650 host made with some unique perspectives. The entire light is made in one piece, from the flared head to the apparent tail cap, one piece of Titanium. The bezel holds a tubular style (Convoy S6 style) reflector on top of a screwed in copper pill. The tail switch is a brass inset that also threads into the flared tail of the light, housing a reverse clicky and a solid brass contact.
I built the light with a BLF17DD FET driver, utilizing 7 levels from a Moon mode of 4 lumens, to Turbo of 1566 lumens. It draws 6.14A from a Sony C5 button top through it’s XM-L2 U2 4C on a 16mm Noctigon. 
Yes, it gets hot in Turbo mode, but the robust Titanium construction seems to not spread the heat, while the head is getting quite hot, the battery tube is still cool. Longer run times will almost certainly change this, but by the time the battery tube is warming up the head will flat out burn you!
Just got it this afternoon, got it built and tweaked, and just got some pics…
This is said to be a rough proto, with some fine tuning to be done to future “production” models. That said, there are a few places where tweaks are needed but Sinner is on top of this and I have no doubt future versions will be more polished and have a factory fit and finish to make anyone proud.
Me? I like this one! It’s robust, with very thick walls and a lot of Titanium in play…being a Ti freak that’s right down my alley! There are lights that they claim you can run over with a truck and not harm them. This is one that may very well harm the truck! 
I’ll get some beamshots tomorrow…
Well done Sinner, very much appreciated!

I decided to add some TLC by way of Fire. After some cleaning and hand sanding to fine tune the finish, I hit it with flame. :bigsmile: “Is it just me, or is it Hot in here!?”
I was thinking, Dubai is a city of immense beauty, sparkling with allure and attraction with an unmatched glamour and seductiveness. So why shouldn’t Sinners Ti light be equal to that reputation? :bigsmile:

This is added from post 24, to keep the build and pictures all in the original post for ease of following…
Well, most of us knew it was just a matter of time. I got up this morning and wanted to find out if this little 20mm reflector could be made to fit over the big MT-G2 emitter. And the only way to really know, is to do the work. So I bored out the reflectors opening for the emitter and Surprise! It fits!
So then I took my chopped AA mini mag apart, removed the MT-G2 that, while really neat in that small light, was really being wasted as a mule on the pair of 14250’s. After cutting down the Noctigon to fit into the base of the reflector, and consequently on top of the Sinner Ti’s copper pill, I did the Zener mod on a stock Qlite. I figured 3A to the big emitter should be more than sufficient, and it would keep it in the sweet spot.
So now the light is assembled, looks pretty dang sweet with that big fat emitter glowing in there, and it’s pulling 2.98A from a rested pair of Efest 10A 18350 cells. This is good for a nice 1335 OTF lumens at start, and a surprising 1280 OTF lumens at 30 seconds. Star 4 is engaged for moon mode, which is too low for my meter to pick up. Then Lo shows 24 lumens and Med shows 367 lumens. Nice simple 4 mode light…Moon, 24, 367, and 1280. And it’s white light! Big hot spot so it’s mostly a flood of light.
I’ll get a pic looking into the reflector after while. Pretty cool though, for sure, seeing that big emitter filling the 20mm reflector with yellow…
Feast your eyes on this…
And with Moon mode On…
Moon is so Lo it’s completely useless if there’s ambient light at all, but I’m sure it will be very nice in the dark of the night. Of course, I’ll check it out tonight.
I had some folks at Academy store oohing and ahing with the de-domed XM-L2 yesterday morning, shining it on Hi into the palm of my hand they were freaking out on it’s intensity. Now, the MT-G2 doesn’t put a hot spot in the palm of my hand but makes my entire hand so bright as to be painful to the eyes!
Got a chance to go out in the night between storms, this little Ti light is deceptive! It now puts out a wide flood of light that loses the hot spot with a bit of distance…
Very useful as an EDC in my opinion, with such a massive field of light available and 3 lower modes I’m pretty sure it will be much more useful this way. The tint is also a huge plus, not to mention less than half the current draw lasting longer on cells, with the drawback that the cells are now much lower capacity. Always trade-offs in this game, isn’t there?
