If I can help a bit by posting the continuation thread myself next time one of mine is in such a position, please let me know, I'd be glad to handle that if it might make your work a bit easier. You guys do a lot to keep CPF a nice place for all to visit! :bow:
Thanks again, much appreciated.

How To Contact Milkyspit!
In general, a PM on CPF is a good way to reach me, though there are occasions when this won't work... perhaps PM Inbox is full, perhaps CPF is having a hiccup...
If you can't get a PM sent on CPF, you might want to send one to me on CPF Marketplace. I monitor both.
Or you could send me an email... I suggest you put the word 'CPF' somewhere in the subject line to make it easier for me to separate your email from all the spam...
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-email-mil...rryrun-com.gif
Regarding phone calls: I don't provide my phone number publicly but if you're unable to reach me by the above means, you might want to get my phone number from a fellow CPFer, there are several who know how to reach me. Or have them call me, give them a way I can get back to you (phone number and/or email address), and I'll get in touch as soon as I can. Sometimes a call is the best approach, though in many cases I would encourage you to try PM and/or email first.
If all else fails, post in this thread that you're trying to reach me. No need for details posted here, but at least I'll know I need to reach out to you!
Note: I do use Skype, which is potentially a useful way of doing a text chat... and I can call from Skype on my computer to a phone number pretty much anywhere in the world, so providing me with YOUR phone number would enable me to call YOU. Again, the above means of contact are probably preferable, but if it comes to it, this might be yet another way!
Hope this helps a bit.

Re: Milkyspit Mods, Thoughts, Eye Candy [LOTS OF PHOTOS] Part 4
Been keeping quiet lately! The thought was to go underground and spend more time on builds. Not my best idea... all that happened is folks wondered where I had gone, sent more email asking where I was at, and of course nobody got any eye candy. :banghead: :(
...but I have been keeping busy, and accumulating a number of photos to post. Here are some to get us started.
The closeup below is from a custom MR Bulk Ti Chammy done for ChipWillis. The Ti Chammy is a particularly exotic light so I wanted to do something special: the heatsink is a solid piece of tellurium copper to maximize heatsinking, all the more so because the emitter (Seoul P7) can generate quite a bit of heat and the titanium skin of the flashlight does not transfer heat as well as it could... that chunk of tellurium copper acts as a thermal reservoir of sorts to allow for some use at full power before the heat becomes much of an issue.
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-chameleon...illis-sink.jpg
The quad-emitter build was for ExZeRoEx with 4x CreeXRE-R2WC emitters in McR16xr reflectors, running with multiple brightness capabilities by virtue of my Acorn 1.0 driver running 'Califon' firmware. The firmware supports miser capability as well as memory, tactical, and theater user interfaces... both 2x rechargeables and 3x primaries are acceptable power sources. The host head is an M3 with shallow scallops. Max output is deliberately held back somewhat, topping out around 660 lumens and running correspondingly more efficient, with good runtime and relatively low heat... for this reason it is fully Project-M "M" compliant: M660.4-M3.
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-m660.4-ex...reflectors.jpg
The light below is a Room Sweeper build for an unknown customer (sorry, I forgot to make a note on the photo)... it's essentially the same light as documented by Hogokansatsukan over here and a close cousin to the Shotgun Sweeper (also built for Hogo) posted over here... in this case the host was an E2D, featuring that light's deeply scalloped bezel. The scallops do impede some of the sidespill but also make an interesting pattern around the beam periphery. Running on a freshly-charged 17670 rechargeable this light will generate perhaps 700-800 lumens overall output.
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-roomsweeper-e2d-head.jpg
The 3-emitter build is an X837.4... note the "X" (for eXtreme) designation, basically a Project-M build but not compliant for efficiency reasons. On the other hand, the beam is particularly clean, with a nice balance of throw and spill, and plenty bright! :D This build also features multiple brightness via the Acorn driver, and due to the customer's battery preference it's configured to run on 3x rechargeables or 4x primaries.

Haven't had one to break into as of yet... always interested in a little scientific research, though! :naughty: If somebody wants to offer theirs for exploratory purposes, the first person to do so gets the emitter swap at cost of parts and shipping alone.

TX101 KL3rev1 Build

It turned out great! Though it did take a surprising amount of time for such a minor touch.

The New M3 Build I Never Told Anyone About! :ohgeez:
Kiwi_sg has a light for sale over here on MP (for a good price, incidentally) that I built him expressly for use on a trip to the mountains in New Zealand this summer... it's an M3 for which I rethought my previous way of going about the upgrade, engineered it for longer throw and better heatsinking while retaining the good things from my other M3 upgrades, like multiple brightness, power source flexibility, and highly efficient regulation circuitry.
I really ought to do a full writeup on this build, but as it's late in the evening at the moment, I'll toss y'all a little eye candy, compliments of Kiwi_sg, and leave the additional details for later.
Outwardly the light looks exactly like a stock M3 (except for the Project-M clear label, that is)...
http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/s..._Project_M.jpg
A look at the business end hints that this isn't your older brother's M3! Note the big, scary optic... too big, as it turns out, to fit in the M3 head... took some doing to stuff it plus a nice Cree MC-E plus the necessary circuitry plus sufficient heatsinking into that package! :sweat:
http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/s...g/M3_Optic.jpg
Some vital statistics...
Max output: estimated 727 lumens
Min output: estimated 0.23 lumen
Number of levels: 4
Firmware revision: 'Califon'
Miser capability: Yes
Heatsink material: Brass
Runtime on 3x123 primaries, max brightness: estimated 45m
Runtime on 2x18500, max brightness: estimated 1h9m
Runtime at min brightness: 3000h = 4+ months continuous
Pending my full writeup, I'd suggest folks peruse PoliceScannerMan's Gossamer Review Thread for a nice discussion of the functionality wrapped into the 'Califon' firmware.
Hope a few people like this M3 build! I certainly do... would have made myself one already if only I had an extra M3 head sitting around. (oops.) :ohgeez:

Re: Milkyspit Mods, Thoughts, Eye Candy [LOTS OF PHOTOS] Part 4
Scott..you are making me rethink my sale...maybe I need to hang on to this and still get the M1 mod project we are discussing!! :thinking: (PP ready to go for that one BTW and email replied to)
The only reason I have it up for sale is this light deserves to be used in the wide open (dark) spaces it was designed for, not the concrete jungle that is Singapore :laughing:

Scott - now you're killing me! I have this same build coming (with a Leef body instead) - any idea when I will get to hold this beast?? :devil:
Also - I know we talked about 600-700 lumens max. Will mine have the exact same stats as above (727 lumens on max)?
Can't wait to get mine!! :huh:

Mine will have a Warm White MC-E though.
Hey Milkyspit now you can do a batch since there are two to lathe up :D

Re: Milkyspit Mods, Thoughts, Eye Candy [LOTS OF PHOTOS] Part 4
I'd like to hear more on this optic that was installed in the M3 please!

Scott, this info is about a year old, does it still apply?

I'll try to go over some of them... note the standard price of the build is $285 (might fluctuate a little from time to time, but generally that's about right), and you have a choice of what you see below at no additional charge in most cases. (The options that would cost additional are stated as such.)
1. The head could be HA-BK as E1B, E2DL, KX1/KX2... or HA-NAT as KX1/KX2. Not all these are available at all times, but in general I can locate most of them.
1a. If you send YOUR light to be turned into a Creemator, I can do so for $165 plus shipping, and the various options below are also available for your upgrade.
2. The head uses a focusable TIR optic for great throw with capacity for fine-tuning to a specific range, degree of spill beam, and/or quality of beam. The top portion of the head is also removable for using the light as pure flood (mule-style).
2a. If you prefer a cleaner beam with more sidespill at the expense of some throw, I can install a McR19 reflector shortened for proper fit in the head... the reflectorized version of the Creemator is a $30 option.
3. The circuitry is Acorn 1.3 for max output of 303+ lumens on average... the firmware is the latest 'Bailey' revision at time of this writing, featuring 4 well-spaced levels of brightness, memory and tactical interfaces, miser mode, and more.
3a. For $30 I can customize the firmware for your specific needs, configuring the light with more/less brightness levels, changing the way the user interface behaves, calibrating various levels to the desired drive current and/or lumens, etc.
4. The body could be one cell or two cell, HA-BK or HA-NAT.
4a. For $30 I can bore out a 2-cell body to fit a 17670 rechargeable nicely.
5. The tailswitch is a standard SureFire tactical clicky.
5a. If you prefer the guarded, flared HA-BK tailswitch from the E2D and E2DL flashlights, I can supply that for an additional $10.
Also, I'm curious about these runtimes (forgive me, I'm new to the milky scene). Are the runtimes listed below flat?

Actually, that's an old-style L1 delivering 300-400 lumens, with an optic that was originally square in shape... at least before performing a little surgery, heh heh. :naughty: Did it for fun, turns out it's a darned handy little workhorse! Dual stage tailswitch still works nicely.

Rich, yes, yours ought to have similar specs... the outputs on yours will be a little lower due to the warmer emitter, and runtimes might not match, but you'll be kinda sorta in that general performance neighborhood. I do need to modify the bottom portion of your heatsink a little to fit better in your body. (Same is true with Nein166's light.)

The optic is made by Ledil, a company in Finland... I'd ordered some samples of their optics directly a while back and have been working them into some recent builds. That particular one has a 5.5 degree beam angle, which for a Cree MC-E is actually quite narrow while still delivering enough sidespill to be useful. I can also say from experience it was an absolute BEAR to fit in an M3 head! :eek: :sweat: :ohgeez:
The good news is, I have a small batch of custom-fabricated brass heatsinks ready to build into some M3 mods if folks are interested. I'm also looking for a couple more M3 heads so I can build myself a couple of these... it's a darned nice build, if I might be so bold as to say so! IMHO it's a nice light for walking through the woods, checking on a strange noise in the backyard, and any number of other tasks. :thumbsup:

Hi Steve, yes, that information is basically still valid. Some of the specifics have changed... max output can reach a little higher now due to sourcing of better parts... and the firmware has progressed to 'Califon' revision now being the standard, though custom firmware is also still very much an option. Let me know if I might help.
There's a good discussion of the 'Califon' firmware over in PoliceScannerMan's Gossamer Review Thread. The one thing that's unfortunate is it all makes the firmware seem somehow more complicated to use than it really is... it's a case in which it's a lot harder to write about how to use it, than it is to use!
Runtimes on 2x123 primaries should be very flat for the vast majority of runtime, then output would dim gradually at the tail end. With one rechargeable the light would tend to run at or close to full power for perhaps the first 50-70% of the run (tends to vary slightly with each individual build) then would begin to dim gradually.
(Steve's quoted sections didn't copy into this post but are available in post #28 above.)

Thanks Jon, nice chatting with you as well. :thumbsup:
As usual, working to get some very patient folks' lights out the door. A little eye candy for this Sunday evening...
KL3rev1 'Sarge'
Note: The build itself is head only... the BigLeef body on which it's mounted is my own, used for testing.
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-sarge-kl3rev1-angled.jpg
The concept behind this build is to give Sgt. LED something in his favorite SureFire head (truth be told, it's probably my fave as well) while aiming for coverage of a broad range of outputs, in this case from a low around 0.23 lumen through a high in the 600-700 lumen ballpark, with a warm, incandescent-like tint and a smooth, clean beam.
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-sarge-kl3rev1-ultralow.jpg
The tint of this particular Cree MC-E is unspecified by the manufacturer but guaranteed to fall somewhere in the 6A, 6B, 6C, or 6D bins with a color temp around 3500K, give or take a little. While it's technically not any higher CRI than the cooler white parts, it does deliver a pleasing beam. Here's a closeup photo using the Sarge as the primary source of illumination on one of my children's special friends...
http://milkyspit.com/i/img-sarge-kl3rev1-turtwig.jpg
Snow Ghost (for Jaybiz32) Preview
The build in this highly customized Mag host delivers roughly 1240 lumens with excellent beam quality and near-perfect regulation throughout the entire run... but that's not the most special part of the build! The host itself is coated with glow in the dark paint... it's darned cool! As shown by this photo taken in complete darkness, heh heh... :naughty:

Two of my lights with Milky heads - the one on the left is a Roomsweeper P60 MC-E module on a Leef natural HA 2x18500 body with Surefire twisty tailcap and AW multilevel switch. The right is a KL3 "Heat Miser" head on a Leef black HA 2 x18500 body with SW02 tailcap.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Milky last week when I picked up the Heat Miser head...it was good to meet the Artist himself! :)

Re: Milkyspit Mods, Thoughts, Eye Candy [LOTS OF PHOTOS] Part 4
SARGE has landed! :D That WAS really quick shipping.
0.23 lumens is a wonderful thing, in daylight you can't tell it's on unless you look into the reflector and runtime should be months! Tint is a pleasant warm. Beam profile is really floody, there's a hot spot but it's big, more like a hot zone. Fits on the C3 like it belongs there. It's 4 levels are spaced well and high is damn bright. Heatsinking to all those fins is fantastic and it does it quickly. It is very clean work, looks like it could be stock.
:thumbsup: I am a very happy camper and I've not even had it in the dark yet!
