I'll take one in Ti.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I'm in for Serial number 5, maybe more as things firm up. Ti/Alum depend on cost, two heads though.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Does ANYONE have any doubts that if you build a GOOD CR2 sized light that it would sell like crazy?

I mean Larrylights are unobtanium, and yet they STILL are the standard!

Titanium only interests me because it is so tough, but for EDC and lots of use, aluminum or aluminum-bronze make lots more sense!

Re: Introducing "Draco"

=== FAQ ===
Why Saphire Lens? Saphire is the 2nd hardest (behind diamond) natural substance so scratch resistance. Thermally & chemically resistance.

[...]

With all that said, I'm up for any suggestions and recommendations. :thanks:

Saphire has good thermal and mechanical characteristics, but I seem to recall that its light transmission is below polycarbonate. you might look into mineral glass - inexpensive, durable, has good optical characteristics, and thanks to the watch industry is readily available in a number of convenient sizes for smaller diameters.

EDIT - nitpicking aside, it looks interesting!

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Put me down for an aluminum one!

Many moons ago, modamag PM'd me re my veiled, but publicly-expressed interest in doing a light based on the Li 14270 cell. He had similar aspirations for one he was going to call the "Draco.". I told him I had over 100 cells, and had ordered reflectors from you-know-who and AR-coated windows for them. I have that stuff now, and DD boards from Wayne, and a bunch of TWOJs. He changed course as a result! :bow: If he'd done it, they would probably be here now! I was/am distracted by a design for JSB, and even more so by a couple tank lights! I'll get to them eventually.

I sincerely hope that didn't break a confidence.

Larry

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Size matters, so I'm definitely interested in everything.
This will almost certainly become brilliant jewelry with a K2, so it should be quite nice.
