EXTREMELY Rare Lights... Let's See Them!

[Size15's]

I've seen another one out there. For some reason that I can't recall I turned down the chance to get it

Really? How can you tell it's not a regular ICE bezel?

[Grumpy]

I have a very nice Custom 18650 Titanium light.





Only 10 were made.

I have it listed here for trade: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=208442

On top is a McLux III-T-S maybe the only one by Don. Don upgraded this to a Seoul after a little begging er asking nicely and on the bottom a Mr. Bulk smooth lioncub in chrome.

Make that 1 of 2. I harassed Don into converting mine to a Soul Mizer!!!!

I mean, it was one of the bezels marked with "I.C.E." rather than one with PK's logo.

My rarest light is a black Dorcy 1AAA keychain model, without the fish-eye lens.

In this case, "rare" definitely doesn't equal expensive.

I have a dive light my dad made from PVC pipes back in the 80s. It has a lens almost 1/2" thick, external batterypack and a magnetic switching ring.

ALTiN Ti PD mule [approx 3 made]

Bottom left: ALTiN Ti S-27-C [approx 3 made]

Some more rare Ti customs:



From the left:

Ti Blocky Boy prototype, the only one. PhotonFanatic made this as the prototype for a run of aluminum Blocky Boys.

McLux III Ti-XR19-C

McLux III Ti-XR27-PD Only a few of these were made.

McBulk, the only one. Made by ArsMachina. He started with the control module from an aluminum Cub, and made a Ti jacket for it. Then he took a 27S head and trimmed it down on the lathe (compare to the XR27 next to it). Finally a pure smooth 18650 tube.

Ti LionCub. One of 8 or 9 known to exist. This one has been modded by ArsMachina. He opened up the bezel on his lathe, "to let more photons escape," added an McR reflector and an SSC P4 emitter. CR123 or RCR123 body.


17500 Ti tube (On the right), grooved to match the original LionCub head.

I think Bernie is a show-off.

Heres my Surefire Porsche Light. I don't know how many were made.

They were sold through Porsche so I'd guess a batch of several thousand

"I.C.E." -are we speaking of this?

No
ICE are a United States Government body of the Department of Homeland Security.

Immagration. Customs. Enforcement. My neighbor works for them....

[Gunner12]

That's a lot of amazing lights.

[Kiessling]

Hey Mr. Green ... of course I am. Seldom are the chances I can do so though.

That's one of the coolest lights I've ever seen, how does the snakeskin hold up from normal use?

+1 .... Supercool

[Hogokansatsukan]

The snakeskin is thin, so not as durable as cowhide. The rubber button is still under the skin on the end. If it eventually does wear out, it can be easily replaced, but under normal use, this should take a long, long time.
And if it does, I'll just go kill his brother and make another

I want one

[04orgZx6r]

I want one

Usually I'm the guy going
I want one
This is a good feeling

[Sable]

I've got one of the AlTiN S27-Cs...I think there's only about three in the world. I'll try to get some pictures in the next day or so - finally some of that beautiful "golden light" is breaking through here in the rainforest.

This 1 of 1 prototype by McGizmo is the predecessor of the LunaSol lights with a LuxV in the center and a switching collar.
It is about 5 years old and some really cool CPF history. I got it in one of Don's garage auctions.

Bernie, this is one of the best looking flashlights I've ever seen. The overall body shape is fantastic. Very nice!

Oh...erm....ya thats real AZ diamondback snake skin.

That has to be one of the most unique and amazing lights that I have ever seen. Amazing work!

[souptree]

I also have one of the AlTiN Mules. Point of clarification -- there were 5 of them, not 3.

This is my rarest and most treasured light. It's a true one of a kind AND a user:

McGizmo LunaSol with red & yellow 3mm LEDs, orange trit and Atwood anodize. All customization on this light was done by Don and Peter.

More info on this light here.

I have an E1E with the head threaded fit Aleph light engines. Don't know how many are around, was modded by Chop and I bought it from Darell. I can send pics if somebody will post them for me.

[Kiessling]

Bernie, this is one of the best looking flashlights I've ever seen. The overall body shape is fantastic. Very nice!

Yes, this one is a true gem.
However, the body is a standard Aleph 2x123 body and the tailcap a standard McClicky tailcap, both made by Don. So one can easily acquire those.
The one thing unique to this light is the head.

Bernie, you lucky dawg!, i cant believe Don had a garage sale and i missed it. Serves me right for being away from CPF for a while. I hope you keep those pieces and never let them go, they are an important part of CPF history.
If you look at Don;s lights, you can see a lot of his ideas are being implemented today, but they appeared as protos many years ago.

My addition to the rare aleph section:


One of (I believe) 10 2x123 bodies in natural HA that came with the clip installed and a ti tail.

The head is from the same garage auction mentioned earlier. Aleph 1 head w/3 tritium vials mounted in slots around the fin. Don't know how many of those were made.

Unique is the size of the trit. "Standard" 5mm vial above for reference.


Came with this reflector, anyone know anything about it?


Came loaded with a downboy and an led of unknown bin...pretty clean white, and bright. U bin maybe? Reflector allows for a really nice amount of spill along with a tight hot spot.
