I will take # 21

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

I'd take the #1 torture test one but only if it was still totally functional, lol. It would just have a pre-worn finish on it. It would be like selling a pair of distressed jeans, lol. If not then I would love to have #100 since i'm usually last at everything.😁👏

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Just curious, Vin, will firstborn be fully ready to buy with all types of cells adapters, reflector (bezel)/drop-in parts and tailcap options?
Or it will be additional option afterward?

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Could I suggest starting a separate thread for determining who gets what serial number. It will help this thread to keep to the details of the build.

Vinh, if this will be an EDC how about a nice strong deep carry clip on this light.

I'd think keeping "everything" Genesis contained within this thread would be better vs multiple threads.

Maybe adding the serial number list to post #1 would make for easy reference.

How about waiting until he even decides he is going to do it before posting 100 replies claiming numbers.

Where's the fun in that?

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

I think we all jumped with premature conclusions. Let's just sit back and enjoy the specs Vinh posted so far... I mean Nr.8, 9, 10, 11 are what no one added as a possibility so far. some maybe but not all of them. Flashlight is still in the computer as he said...

Very good question. I will answer this ASAP.

AGREE there will be a separate serial interest thread. This will also likely be the sale thread.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Hey Vinh, Would you consider supplying a nice deep carry clip for the Genesis?

 

[mt62092]

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

I think everyone chosing a number just shows the enthusiasm for this light and is a good thing.

Deep carry is a must for me. I am looking to source one to keep cost down but nothing is adaptable to Genesis yet. Might have to make one from scratch. I would hate this as it brings the price up...

Yes! Gives me confidence.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

So I want to see the Genesis fully loaded with fresh battery and turned on to med. then dropped into a Ford F-150 gas tank. Now that would make an excellent video! Lol

Custom deep carry heavy duty titanium pocket clip is confirmed





Concrete Project Genesis Details:
1. Made in USA - Electronics, Host & Assembly

2. 7075 Aluminum Housing - Most flashlights are made of 6061 Aluminum

• 6061 VS Structural Carbon Steel VS 7075
• Brinell hardness: 95 VS 140 VS 150
• Ultimate Tensile Strength: 310Mpa VS 480Mpa VS 565Mpa
• Shear Strength: 207Mpa VS 300Mpa VS 331Mpa
  

3. 3mm thick Anti-Reflective Tempered/Safety Lens

• Most lens are 1-2mm. Usually only the big boys like BLF GT and X65 sport ~3mm Lens. Heat treatment characteristic unknown.
• I worked at Northwestern Industries (A glass company) for 2 summers in college.
• Here I learned both glass and will are much stronger when tempered.
• The slow cooling heat treatment process makes the glass tempered and thus under constant pressure from edge to edge.
• Tempered glass are 4 times stronger than regular/annealed glass.
• Strength Example: 1/4" Tempered = 1" Annealed (Impact and scratch resistant improved accordingly.)
• It also break relatively safer into smaller pieces as oppose to longer sharp edges of the annealed.

​
4. Type III Anodization (Black Color)

• Anodization quality vary from one manufacture to another although most claimed Type III
• I have not yet examine the quality of this USA shop to conclude
• Tail cap thread anodize = Physical/mechanical lock out, no parasitic drain, safe transport
• I discussed General info regarding anodization here

5. Form & Dimensions

• Among shortest in class yet able to accept all varieties of cell length
• Sleek and minimalist with a touch of industrial exterior design
• Minimal laser engravings
• Tail stand & Anti-roll
• Least body housing parts assembly for strength & reliability
• Thick housing wall for strength
• Numerous thread for strength and smoothness
• Double Oring at body ends for reliable water resistance
• Shortest Length ~ 110mm

​ 6. Diving Potential

• High quality O-Rings
• Dual thick Orings at all entry points
• O-Rings lubed all around before assembly

7. Impact Resistance

• 3mm tempered glassed cushioned on both side
  
• Extra thick housing at high stress impact edges

​8. Upgradeable

• Hardware & Firmware future upgradeable
• Hardware & Firmware user config-able
• Flexible forms and functions for multi applications.

9. Battery Configurations

• 1 or 2 21700
• 1 or 2 20700
• 1 or 2 18650
• 2*CR123A

​
10. Beam & Tint Options

• Thrower - Oslon 6500K, 40SD, XPL HI
• Flooder - 70.2, S351
• Intermediate - 50.2, SST20 SD, 40HD,
• Mule - XPL2, 219c, S351
• 3000K, 4000K, 4500K, 5000K, 6500K, 7500K

11. User Interface

• Shorty Twisty 4 max simplicity and reliability (Diver's Choice)
• Clicky + Custom heavy duty deep carry titanium pocket clip (General & Tactical)
• Optional high current Reverse clicky: From OFF full click turns On, 1/2 press from ON changes level
• Optional FS54 Forward Clicky: From OFF 1/2 press for momentary ON & mode select. Full click turns ON & lock pre-selected mode.
• User Programmable DriverVN4

12. USA Premium Viton O RingsFluorocarbons (FKM) – commonly referred to as Viton®, has excellent resistance to high temperatures, ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels, aromatics and many organic solvents and chemicals. VITON® has a temperature range of -20F to +400F, and provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, weather and compression set requirements. The relatively high level of fluorine in VITON® materials allows for exceptional resistance to chemical attack, but with limited low temperature capabilities.
Chemical Resistance:

• Mineral oil and grease, low swelling in ASTM oil No. 1, and IRM 902 and IRM 903 oils
• Hydraulic Oil, Petroleum Base
• Non-flammable hydraulic fuels in the group HFD
• Silicone oil and grease
• Mineral and vegetable oil and grease
• Aliphatic hydrocarbons (fuel, butane, propane, natural gas)
• Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene)
• Chlorinated hydrocarbons (trichlorethylene and carbon tetrachloride)
• Chlorine Water
• Gasoline, Fuels, also fuels with methanol content
• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
• Natural Gas
• Propane
• Diesel Oil
• High vacuum
• Very good ozone, weather and aging resistance.

Operating temperature: -20° to +400°F

13. Extreme Torture Tests (Extreme limits demonstration purposes only. Not to be attempt by user)

• Run over with F150 front wheel longitudinal 5 times
• Run over with F150 front wheel across 5 times
