"Mini Tag" Keychain/Neck Light with Builtin Recharging

[moeman]

There will be an option for that. But it would remove the lanyard post :mecry:

Oh, well forget that then. Need to be able to wear the thing!

Here is the "Revised" Gen2: (nevermind the bubbles in the silicone :sick2

Here is one advantage of the little magnets in the side. It even sticks to
the metal corner strips on drywall

Don't worry, I haven't ruined a credit card with the magnets..

And the Insides:


And Charging:


This is the final design of the light. Although the looks of it will
be much cleaner and precise after they are machined/waterjet cut.

The Sales thread goes up soon!

Hi,
Is there any place I can see pics of the production units of your previous offer (the chimera) ?
I would like to see what kind of finish and precision one can exect of the production units of this little gem... I pay lots of attention to fit and finish, I love the "perfect" look of machines parts. Assembly is important too.

But the pics are in the first post:

They are the first set of 5 pics

 

[tino_ale]

I'm sorry my question wasn't clear. What I am looking for is pictures of completely assembled production model, as opposed to unassembled shells or assembled prototypes... Any chance you have that kind of pics?
Thanks

Tino ale, I have a Chimera mini. If you are interested I will take pictures of it and send them to your e-mail address should you want to give me an address via a PM. It is about as "stock" a mini as you can get--no trits and with just a polished perimeter. I have "installed" magnets at the four corners to permit attachment to ferrous metals for use but other than that...Let me know.

i love the form factor! but will there be an high power led version of this ? 150 bucks is quiet a lot of money for just 2 standard leds ...2 rebels or xp-e/g's would rock

Well, I am kind of taken back by this question :huh:

There is no way anyone could pull off a light
with 2 of those led you mention because the
battery would not be able to handle it.
And Even IF it were possible, The runtime
would be about 30sec

 

[lumen_eater]

you could always run them low for insane efficiency

Did you join to save money?

there is a lot of work and thinking behind lights like these..
And research to say the least...

Materials like CF and TI is not cheap either...

 

[Crenshaw]

I must say its turned into a VERY nice light. i would love to buy it, but 150 is a bit steep at the moment, so i will wish you all the best, and hope to own/buy one at some point.

also, i DO think $150 is a very fair price, given the amount of work that went, and is going into it.

Might I also suggest saberwolf, that you put links in your Sigline to the chimera and this light and so on? would be a great way to get attention, and make it easier for us to find those threads.

You got to see past what's used for the emitter. The 150 bucks are for one-of-a-kind light in terms of design, special materials and engineering. Much has been explained of the development. If you are for a bright light, maybe it's not for you. Or you could get the Mini Chimera. :shrug:
