[MSaxatilus]

KAP, I don't have an all-inclusive list of my services, partly because I continue to expand the possibilities! That said, here's a very incomplete assortment that might at least be a start on such a list...

Red Eye - Single brightness in E1E head, max output 100-200 lumens depending on build specifics, available in regular or high CRI warm white

Room Sweeper (on E1E or E2E) - Single brightness 600-800 lumens with extra wide spill in E1E or E2E, running on one rechargeable

Gossamer - Multi brightness in KX1 or KX2 or E1B or E2DL or KL4 head with CreeMCE emitter, max output roughly 700 lumens, runs full power on 2x rechargeables or 3x primaries, available in regular or warm white

Milky L1 'Floodmaster' or 'Smoothie' - L1rev1 or L1rev2 host with hand-chosen best-available LED, typically Seoul P4 or Luxeon K2-TFFC, as well as suitable reflector and flat dual-AR-coated ultraclear glass lens, optionally with upgraded circuitry for higher output and/or recalibrated tail for ultralow low beam, compatible with 1x primary or rechargeable cell, available in regular or high CRI warm white

Milky L1 'Legolas' - L1 with customized variation on the 'Creemator' (as described above) built into the head and body bored for a 17500 or 17650 rechargeable as appropriate, with max output approaching 300 lumens and exceptional throw, available in regular or warm white

L1 'Tradesman' - L1rev1 or L1rev2 host with CreeMCE and suitable optic in head plus L2 circuitry transplanted into body, max output roughly 300-400 lumens, compatible with 1x rechargeable (recommend IMR16340), available in regular or warm white

Gotham - 100% custom flashlight resulting from a Leef/Milkyspit collaboration, featuring custom body with art deco design reminiscent of the Chrysler Building in New York City, originally with Seoul P4 but now available with various LEDs, running multiple brightness with max output roughly 200 lumens (Seoul P4) or just short of 300 lumens (Luxeon K2-TFFC) 322 lumens (CreeXRE), compatible with 1x18650 rechargeable or 2x123 primaries, available in regular or high CRI warm white

Milky L2 - L2 host with CreeMCE and suitable optic in head, max output roughly 300-400 lumens, compatible with 2x123 primaries, available in regular or warm white

KL3 'Optimator' or 'Heat Miser' or 'Luminator' - single or multiple brightness with any of several emitters from Seoul P4 through Seoul P7 or CreeMCE, max output dependent on emitter but anywhere from 230 through 700 lumens, available in regular or warm white

KL6 'Sparkplug' - KL6 using stock reflector but running CreeMCE or Seoul P7 or Osram Diamond Dragon with single or multiple brightness, max output roughly 400-700 lumens depending on build specifics, available in regular or warm white

Project-M in M3 or KL2 Heads - typically 3-4 CreeXRE or Seoul P4 or Luxeon K2-TFFC emitters in a KL2 or M3 head, single or multiple brightness, max output roughly 300-1086 lumens depending on build specifics, available in regular or high CRI warm white

KT4 Tower Module - Drop-in light engine shaped like the lamp assemblies used in KT4 or similar turbo heads, typically running Seoul P4 or Luxeon K2-TFFC, max output roughly 150-300 lumens depending on build specifics, available in regular or high CRI warm white

Project-M in Mag Standard or Custom Host - Similar to 'Stencil' or 'Stencil Pinky' as described above, but build into a standard or customized Maglite host

Totally Custom - pretty much anything!

wow! very impressive. thanks for posting that, milky.
when you say "...runs at full power..." do you mean direct drive?

Ooooo.. am i getting a red eye?

it was an awesome movie too..

[Per Arne]

well I am still waiting for my flashligh parts (KL3-HA and ARC AA Bezel heads) sent in July 2008.... My main concern is the old gen. 1 SureFire KL3-HA Bezel which I hope will be done soon...
(- one LED, one stage, High Output, whiteish and no donut beam useing 3x 123A or 2x 18650)

I hope you've got your U2 by now, Desertrat21

Take care Scott

wait a second. you're waiting for milky to finish stuff you sent him 15 months ago? or am i missing something?

Per Arne sent me a box full of lights for which we had no predetermined plan on what to build in them. The build plan came together very slowly, which was partly my fault.

On the other hand, his lights will end up far better for the wait as I'm using better components than had been available at first. That does seem to be the case in this sort of situation. If something better comes along after I receive a light for a build and the project isn't already too far along to change course, I upgrade to the better components, so long as the customer is okay with that. :naughty:

The builds that end up in this sort of circumstance tend to be ones for which there's not a solid plan going in, or for which parts availability is a problem for one reason or another. One special case historically has been U2by2 builds, which often go through the build process 2-4 times before all the LEDs pass their initial burn-in period without incident. Another case that sometimes happens is one in which a customer becomes unreachable after the fact... that's happened a few times.

It's never a situation I enjoy being in, but every once in a while it does happen.

thats a great plan. If i had a steady stream of spare cash,i would just buy parts and have them sent to milkylabs, and then think of stuff to build....

i'm thinking about a 'room sweeper' type light. what head would produce a better end result, the E2D or the E2DL?

E2D

The E2DL would be more suited to a Creemator build because of the TIR

i'm assuming that a led build in the E2D head would not be reglated. just direct drive right?
is it possible though, to do a single mode 'room sweeper' light that has a regulated driver?

My Milky E2E Room Sweeper is direct drive on a 17670 cell.

You could e-mail Scott, and find out for sure if a regulated Room Sweeper is possible.

PM sent. Once I found the list of projects, it appears I am looking at either:

Boxter - Multi brightness in KL4 head with Seoul P4 emitter, max output roughly 230 lumens, runs full power on 1x rechargeable or 2x primaries, available in regular or high CRI warm white

or

Seoulmator - Multi brightness in KL1 head with Seoul P4 emitter, max output roughly 230 lumens, runs full power on 1x rechargeable or 2x primaries, available in regular or high CRI warm white

I have a KL4 and a KL1 head, and would upgrade either. So I guess it comes down to which one yields a better finished product, and the cost involved.

My Milky mod has landed!!!

This is my first Milky mod, and it's the one I have been drooling over since I found CPF - the Project M (eXtreme version). It is another fine example of the premium work I've seen in many posts here on the forum. But, it's much better when I can hold it in my hand! :twothumbs



It's a warm edition using 4xCree Q4 5Bs. Here are the specs:

• Host: SureFire M3/Leef 2x18500 (LF3 C2M adapter) (also have Leef 2x18650 C/M when needed for more runtime)/SW01 Fatty tailcap
• Emitters: 4xCREE Q4 5B
• Heat sink: Solid brass
• Power Source: 2x3.7v Li-ion or 3xCR123
• Max Current Draw: 650mAH per LED x 4 = 2.6A
• Runtime on Max: Approx. 2 hrs on 2x18650 (2600 mAH)
• Programmed Output Levels:
  • MemoryUI (4-mode): 70L > 200L > 500L > 724L (max)
  • TheaterUI (5-mode): 2L > 17L > 70L > 200L > 724L (max)
  • TacticalUI (5-mode): 724L (max) > Strobe > 200L > 70L > Locator Blink

A few pics:

Here is a quick indoor beamshot I took compared to one of the only non-warm tint led lights I have left (Solarforce R2):

Thanks for the awesome light Scott!! :twothumbs:twothumbs

 

[switchoff]

Hi Milky, I've sent you a pm regarding the availability of the u2by2.

 

[Sgt. LED]

The wait on that one can be a bit lengthy but it has to be, it's one of the very best.



Rich, the 5b tint is awesome isn't it!

 

[RichS]

Rich, the 5b tint is awesome isn't it!

No doubt - I had mudman cj mod my L1 with a Q4 5B, and I've had a hard time grabbing any LED light with a cold tint since...what you lose in lumens you gain back (and then some) in light quality.

The only thing better than a light with a Q4 5B is a light with four of them...:naughty:

 

[1wrx7]

Hi Scott:wave:

What's happening... I'm getting a little impaitient here. I think an update is in order:sigh:.... or preferably my mod finished:shakehead

Hi Rich. That is an awesome M3 you have there! I hope you didn't have to scavenge those LEDs from Dereelight modules.

P.S. I'm glad to hear that you still like the L1. It was hard to ship it to you.

 

[Kestrel]

+1, that is a beautiful beamshot. I have that R2 you used as a comparison so I can identify with that matchup. :twothumbs

 

[gottawearshades]

Hey, Scott,

You should have received an Arc LS in the mail, and also in email from me with thoughts about how I'd like to retrofit it.

Waiting to hear from you.

Cheers.
