Thanks Shyan.

That's an amazing collection, Dave. And you keep them all so shiny!
Welcome back to the washing machine...

Welcome back to the washing machine...

Thanks Tom - I do like shiny. And this comment made me laugh!

Here are two pictures of my just completed ronac lights. These lights provide quite a bang for a very reasonable buck. :thumbsup:

Very nice Dave, the contrast between the Carbon Fibre and Copper is very striking and attractive! :thumbsup:

I agree Daniel. When I first heard that they weren't going to be all copper, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed. Having received them though, I have to say that I'm very happy, and it's nice to have a bit different styled copper light.

Here's my latest grail light that will probably be my last "expensive" light. It is everything that I want. This is a tribute to Cool Fall, mohanjude, and Jeff Hanko







Sorry for the crappy phone cameras, I couldn't really do much more for trit pictures (I will post a darker picture in the trit thread)

Wow - that's very impressive! Can you provide some details about the head?

 

[KuanR]

Thanks Dave. It's a turbo head made by mohanjude, that I sent to Jeff Hanko to make the custom bezel I have a write up for it in the Cool Fall forum

Very nice! I'm at work right now, but I'll read the write-up later. It looks like Mohan has really upped his game!

Another Jeff Hanko masterpiece - a Sunwayman V10R with 71 trits!

Wow. That's insane! The trits alone would have cost like 4 times the original light. That's quite a cool effect, though! Holy!

The trit cost was indeed a significant portion of the total!

That's a great looking collection. The Alpha light looks huge compared to the other lights! That's an 18650 light, correct?

 

[nbp]

Thank you.

Yes the Alpha is 18650 powered and it is kinda big. I find it's ok when I have carpenter pants or something with a side pocket or a jacket but it isn't for front pocket carry, haha.

Hi Dave, beautiful collection and some great pics! Post #135, bottom right hand corner is the light I was asking about. You take individual shots of a lot of favorites, but so far none of this one. May I ask what light this is and if one might still be available? Is this in Ti or Al?

And I would be completely remiss to not include the light I envisioned and Photon Fanatic produced on that wonderful Swiss lathe of his! I sent Fred a 1" diameter bar, 5" long, of Grade 23 Surgical Titanium and this is what he sent back. I later had him put together the battery holder to carry a spare for this light. The Texas Poker (named by Fred) is running a 5000K Nichia 219 at ~750mA with 3 modes, mode memory, and over-discharge protection. It's got a beautiful beam and outstanding throw, especially considering it's diminutive size. I have a build thread on this light here somewhere, I'll look it up and post the link.

I had been following that thread in the past, and it's a very nice light! I still need to add a Photon Fanatic light to my collection before too long.
