Hey CPF!

I've been working hard over the last few years building my "perfect" pocket light. The prototype has been clipped to my pocket for months now and I just love it. I'm putting together a small run of Hinton pocket lights and wanted to post here in case anyone else is interested.

Some photos of the prototype in 303 stainless steel (click for larger images):

Manufacturer: Copper and Current Designs (that's me!)
Model: Hinton

  • 15VP v5.2 user-programmable 1xAA/1x14500 driver hand-built by myself
  • Two UI's: ramping and discrete levels
  • Constant-current regulation
  • Low-voltage protection on both AA/14500
  • 1 to ~200(AA)/400(Li) lumen output /w Cree XP-L2 HD
  • Reverse-clicky with tail-stand capability and metal switch boot
  • Deep-carry stainless spring steel pocket clip
  • Double-coated AR UCL lens
  • Solid brass heatsink with copper Sinkpad MCPCB
  • Run #1 will be 30 pieces in solid Titanium, machined by Jordy Wallace of FocusWorks EDC
  • Emitter will be buyers choice: if we can source it, I can install it
  • Price will be $325USD

If this light is something you'd be interested in, I'm opening the interest list on Tuesday April 6th @ 1800 UTC here:



Any questions, please feel free to post here, send me a PM, or email me at [email protected]!

Best regards,

Seems like the same story as others....
Shortage of materials and since it's not the primary job there's a shortage on want and time.

No shortage on want - I'm just as into flashlights as I've ever been! Huge shortage on time though, that's for sure. Family's been keeping me busy and I've been loving every minute of it.

I don't frequent CPF at all these days, but if you do the whole social media thing I'm trying for biweekly updates on both Facebook and Instagram, so feel free to give me a follow on there. :)

All the best!
