Here are some update pictures. Admittedly, pictures are not as good as holding the completed Tower Module in your hand. You will soon. There are lots of bare Towers in the bag. And Mike has an assembly line of converter with little components being soldered together by his the team of one...
The Tower Modules have arrived at ARC mania’s home. They should be assembled within 10 days. He had the design updated in two important ways but he is too bashful to say it. Behind his back, I’ll show you what he did.
To strengthen the spring installation, a groove is cut at the midsection...

I haven't forgotten. The newer warm tint, WPR2, bulbs are still being made. I had the bulbs adjusted for more brightness. The assembler is adjusting a resistor in the converter.
I wanted more light. We can understand that.
Re: SMJLED2- New, Better, Brighter, Cheap, and Soon
A beam shot next to the Fenix light would stir up trouble again. We all know what happens; threads heats up. Cool and lighthearted is a nice way to keep this thread…I hope. People don’t want light toys anymore are the impressions we are...
Re: SMJLED2- New, Better, Brighter, Cheap, and Soon
You have to admit, I do not post too much anymore but when I do post it does generate interest.
LED lights are evolving. We are putting pieces of the puzzle together. It is up to you to take the puzzle apart and see what they will really...
Re: SMJLED2- New, Better, Brighter, Cheap, and Soon
Thank you, Chesterqwm for your clarification. And thank you Newbie for your interest.
I don’t have fancy machines to test like many other members do. I do have a lux meter and it is calibrated. I placed the original and version 2 of the...
The SMJLED for the Mini Maglite is popular so it had to continue and improve. The SMJLED2 will soon replace the original Mini Maglite 2xAA drop-in. It is brighter because of the Power Wafer active electronics. It has a new emitter for a white tint beam. The price will be in the low...
I posted one hour too soon. The mailman just arrived with a care package from Japan. My KI-B has arrived. And a bonus toy too. Just like the Crackerjack box. A little popcorn threat will do wonders. :laughing:
Thank you Mike and Kato.
Everybody has their lights except me. OK, I have the test mule which is the same except for no anodizing and cheaper O-rings. Mike’s father had the stroke and is still in the hospital- there is not much change. I told Mike to take care of his father first then send my light last. I...
Re: Maxlite II pre-sale.
Here are the converter boards, the switches and the custom metal reflectors. Lots of custom parts get fitted into Maxlite II. The parts are coming together at a faster pace then the original Maxlite.
You did say the best primary CR2 light. There is one built to take a primary and secondary cell with no change in brightness. The best is lots of money, is rare and coveted. Your description aptly describes the Katokichi Ichishiki Splash Special, the KISS light. The custom gem of a light has...
